Bell has expanded its
Fixed Wireless Internet (FWI) service to include the Sault Ste. Marie (SSM) area.
THIS IS A DIFFERENT SERVICE FROM THE DEFERRAL
ACCOUNT SERVICE.
The Bell FWI service operates
in the LTE 2.3/3.5 GHz range. It
provides high-speed Internet access with up to 5 Mbps download
and 1 Mbps upload. It uses a 4G LTE Huawei B2268H Wireless Router that has
an external unit and an interior unit. The basic monthly rate is $65.00 excluding taxes
( As noticed 24 Jul 2015, data caps and one-time installation charges are no longer identified on the webpage.)
This is the projected
coverage area for SSM.
Other areas in the
Algoma District getting this service to date are Elliot
Lake and Iron
Bridge/Blind River
