Challenges
Provisioning Fibre in the rural communities is a major undertaking. Infrastructure will be constructed along the roads, new structures containing network elements, and Fibre service lines are required to each premise to deliver the services. EH!tel has applied for subsidies to the Federal Government, and obtained the support of Municipal, County and Provincial agencies to permit the installations along the roadways. The construction initiative is anticipated to take 10 years to enable all premises to be connected to Fibre.
The cost to bring Fibre to a rural premise is estimated at $2,500/premise. With Federal funding, and private commitments through EH!tel, we have developed packages with competitive rates starting with an installation fee of $199. Once the terms are expired, even better service pricing will be made available.
