Further to our ongoing dialogue on rural broadband internet service for my property at 6596 Fairview Road in Central Elgin, I can advise that Xplornet has confirmed that they cannot service my property. In addition, the made-in-Elgin solution, Uplink Wireless from Belmont, is also unable to provide service. I was, however, very encouraged to read the recent announcement of $6 Million of SWIFT-funded fibre and fixed wireless broadband expansion in Elgin County; that is, until I accessed their site and noted that none of the approved projects are within Central Elgin. This was very disappointing. • Southwold, with an estimated population of 4807 (2020 estimates, Stats Can), will receive service expansion. • Dutton-Dunwich, with an estimated population of 4805, will receive service expansion. • West Elgin, with an estimated population of 5157, will receive service expansion. • Bayham, with an estimated population of 7929, will receive service expansion. And yet, the more heavily-populated Municipality of Central Elgin, with an estimated population of 13,271 residents, will not receive service expansion. As a rate-payer in rural Central Elgin, I am at a loss to understand this situation. I will welcome contact from a representative of the Connectivity Committee to further discuss this situation. Please feel free to relay this correspondence to the Committee. Thank you. Best regards, Mike Bachner Cell: 519-272-6979 mikebachner60@gmail.com
