As of July 10, 2012 Lyttonnet customers can enjoy the benefits of a 100 Mb/s backhaul link to Telus Fibre.  The upgraded connection has improved the internet experience for our customers during peak hours in the evenings when the 30 Mb/s connection was inadequate.  Longer term – we are examining the feasibility of a redundant backhaul agreement through BCNET which has the potential to reduce our costs.

Our office is located at 281 Main St. above the Health Canada offices.

We are preparing design for a pilot project that will extend Fibre service in Siska, Scuppah and Kanaka Bar.  Construction has begun on this project and will continue into 2013..   Fibre is a real benefit in areas where radio spectrum is crowded and interference is more common.   Fibre to Block will allow us to increase service speed for typical customers from 4Mbps to 12Mbps or more, keeping in line with cable service in urban areas like Vancouver.  As always, the infrastructure belongs to our community – not a distant corporation headquartered in another country!

We now offer on-line direct payment through Bank of Nova Scotia as well as VISA or Mastercard payment.

Customer service  – we want our customers to know they are #1 .  Look out for several Lyttonnet customer care changes in the following months.

Upgrades of towers to support the latest, fastest customer equipment that is faster – in several areas our towers are 802.11n and MIMO capable.  We now have service plans which offer increased speed as wells as customer router care and increased download.

Design and construction of new repeaters to serve Gladwin, Nicoamen Band [complete] Fountain Valley (North) and Texas Creek area [complete]  These network extensions will allow us to serve over 200 customers in remote areas East and North of Lytton where dial-up or satellite are the only options.

Application to Industry Canada for use of channels in “TV Whitespace” 512-698MHz.    These frequencies will allow remote, isolated areas to get connected where line-of-sight might require additional repeaters.
