I noticed work being done and had no idea who or what. I've been checking it out on Social Media, and our local newspaper editor directed me to her article:
They offer high speed Internet, cell phone service, and satellite TV. They began as Westport Telephone Company (WTC) in 1932.

I'd not heard of WTC. They've been laying fibre cable, as you can see, for Internet, cable TV and phone lines.
We were on Bell Sympatico internet and TV on a dish in Muskoka. It was awful. We have diversified. We had Bell phone service when we first moved here. At one time, mice ate through the line and they laid another. [I wrote about our trials and tribulations with Sympatico– 2014] They are all so big that the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing.
I don't know if you remember, dear reader, we were three weeks without a phone when we had Bell. [☎️Bell Canada – Let's Talk] Now we have a smartphone, not Bell, and a separate plan. We have Shaw Satellite for 📺TV. Sadly Rogers is trying to buy Shaw, so we are a bit worried. We were Xplornet, but they were bought by Shaw.
While you get a deal having three on one ISP system, when you lose one you lose them all! Including emergency #911! The recent nation-wide Rogers power outage was a case in point.
Having just changed banks, and still trying to get things right, I am not thrilled with change. It took me 3 days to figure out how to pay JB's VISA bill, which is separate from mine. we have to think about this. It won't happen until 2023, anway, and they'll have to dig for a cable alongside our new driveway. What could go wrong?!
One of the reps popped in to ask if we want to sign up. He was a good salesman, but we are good consumers. We ask questions.
Another sales rep has made a presentation to the nearby lake association. She showed a map of the coverage area. My fear? They end up doing all this and merging with someone. This is what happened with Xplornet, bought by Shaw.
