Introduction to fibre
[edit]In 2012 the company started planning and digging for fibre delivery to Windsor [2] with a gradual roll-out of upgrades through to 2020. It will be an expected investment of more than $35 million.[3] The service is available in Walkerville, Oldcastle and East Windsor.
The company is using its own fibre lines and the bandwidth is not purchased from a larger company.[4] MNSi uses a local call centre.[3]
