Fibre Optic Networks
Fibre cabling was already deployed by Bell Canada in Ontario and Quebec using FTTN deployment. On 4 February 2010, Bell Canada announced the launch of Fibe 25 services and Bells plan to create FTTH or Fibre to the home services, offering speeds up to 100 Mbit/s. Shaw Cable is currently running field trials of 1 Gbit/s Ethernet fibre to the premises in select locations in Vancouver and Calgary.
Bell Aliant,starting in 2009, announced that it would be deploying Fibre-To-The-Home (FTTH) service in New Brunswick, starting in Fredericton and St. John, under the trade name FibreOP. It has since been deployed in several other cities and towns throughout Atlantic Canada, offering speeds ranging from 20 Mbit/s down & 15Mbit/s up, to 250 Mbit/s down & 30 Mbit/s up.

Famous quotes containing the words fibre and/or networks:
“The gods are partial to no era, but steadily shines their light in the heavens, while the eye of the beholder is turned to stone. There was but the sun and the eye from the first. The ages have not added a new ray to the one, nor altered a fibre of the other.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“To be perfectly, brutally honest, those of us who are still carrying diaper everywhere we go are not at our most scintillating time of life....We need to remember that at one time in our lives, we all had senses of humor and knew things that were going on in the world. And if we just keep our social networks open, there will be people ready to listen when we once again have intelligent things to say.”
—Louise Lague (20th century)
