Residents of the Hanover Municipality can say goodbye to lagging internet speeds and hello to Valley Fiber!

Valley Fiber Ltd. is an internet service provider based in Southern Manitoba that has signed an agreement with the Municipality of Hanover to bring its dedicated fiber internet technology to communities like Blumenort, Bristol, Friedensfeld, Grunthal, Kleefeld, Mitchell, New Bothwell, Pansy, Randolph, Rosengard, Sarto, Tourond, Trentham, along the route, and several rural developments in the region.

The project includes 41 kilometers of dedicated fiber lines with an investment of $12 Million into Hanover. The project is part of Valley Fiber’s Connect Rural project in partnership with the Canada Infrastructure Bank to provide dedicated fiber internet, TV, and phone services to these communities.

“We at Valley Fiber are excited to become a part of the communities of Hanover” says Conley Kehler, Senior VP at Valley Fiber Ltd. “Having access to fast, reliable internet is no longer a luxury, it’s an essential part of our lives and we embrace the opportunity to offer services to the residents of Hanover. We understand the business and residential growth in Southern Manitoba. Our goal from the beginning was not about making Netflix faster, but rather deliver a product to assist with the economic demand and increase the attractiveness of moving or starting a business in rural Manitoba”.

The Rural Municipality of Hanover's Reeve Stan Toews knows what this will mean for the region, “Fast and reliable internet service is something that can make a significant difference. From homes to schools to businesses, the digital age has created a technological gap and this is the bridge we will use to cross into our future. An improved quality of life as well as new economic opportunities are open to the people of Hanover with this announcement."

Construction will begin and end in 2021 with plans starting at $74.95 a month for 150 Mbps up and down. Customers can also add a home phone for only $20 a month more, or bundle phone and TV services for huge savings!
