When the project is done, every municipality in the county, along with Alderville First Nations, will have access to high-speed internet. Installation is expected to continue throughout 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Residents will be given the option to have their homes connected to the lines for free as they are installed in their area, with service plans available from Axel Telecom.<\/p>\n<p>The plan is receiving majority funding from the provincial and federal governments, with $45.8 million in provincial funding and $18.4 million from the federal government. Northumberland County has invested $700,000 in the endeavour.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; A new rural infrastructure project has been announced, with plans to bring high-speed internet to thousands of&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":123082,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3161],"tags":[9475,1169,3082,12,54734,54732,54735,54730,54731,54736,53,54733,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-123081","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-internet","8":"tag-bancroft","9":"tag-brighton","10":"tag-internet","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-pec","13":"tag-picton","14":"tag-prince-edward-county","15":"tag-quinte","16":"tag-quinte-news","17":"tag-quinte-west","18":"tag-technology","19":"tag-trenton","20":"tag-uk","21":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114552656768976994","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/123081","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=123081"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/123081\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/123082"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=123081"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=123081"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=123081"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
