Better cell service in Kawartha Lakes

Kawartha Lakes is looking into improving cell service for the area. This project would benefit Eastern Ontario as a whole. "If the broadband expansion were fully implemented, it would provide 99.5 per cent cellular coverage throughout Eastern Ontario. Currently, 16 per cent of the region has no cellular coverage, and an additional 20 per cent does not have enough cellular capacity." This isn't just good news for your Instagram, it could also help emergency responders communicate. We will keep you updated on any new developments! 

City looking to boost cellphone coverage in Kawartha Lakes

In a recommendation going to council, this City will be asked to support the project once the federal and provincial governments determine its full extent. If the broadband expansion were fully implemented, it would provide 99.5 per cent cellular coverage throughout Eastern Ontario. Currently, 16 per cent of the region has no cellular coverage, and an additional 20 per cent does not have enough cellular capacity.
