The Bell Deferral Account (Deferral Account) project roll
out is bearing fruit in the Goulais river area. The aim of the DA project is to
provide cellular based broadband (high speed) Internet with the same speed and
data caps as Bell’s urban DSL service. The Goulais River Deferral Account area
is shown in purple on this map.
There
are currently three Bell cell sites in the North Sault area providing cover along
the Hwy 17 corridor including the part running through the DA area. There is an existing site at the Buttermilk Hill area. To provide the necessary radio signal coverage in the DA and to handle the expected traffic loads without congestion, additional
towers/cell sites are required. One of these towers is under construction on the Pine Shore Road area as shown on this screen
shot as a red dot.
These pictures were
taken on 23 Oct 2013 while the tower was still under construction.

It is known that there are additional sites planned for the
Nils Bay and the Marlette Bay areas. There may also be other locations.
