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:
“One of the oddest features of western Christianized culture is its ready acceptance of the myth of the stable family and the happy marriage. We have been taught to accept the myth not as an heroic ideal, something good, brave, and nearly impossible to fulfil, but as the very fibre of normal life. Given most families and most marriages, the belief seems admirable but foolhardy.”
—Jonathan Raban (b. 1942)
“The community and family networks which helped sustain earlier generations have become scarcer for growing numbers of young parents. Those who lack links to these traditional sources of support are hard-pressed to find other resources, given the emphasis in our society on providing treatment services, rather than preventive services and support for health maintenance and well-being.”
—Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
