Thetis Island residents may get satellite Internet connection
Residents of Pilkey Point Road on Thetis Island are without Internet access at home, but Area G Director Mel Dorey hopes to change that, he told the Cowichan Valley Regional District board recently.
People on that road used to have dial-up service through Telus, Dorey explained, but that has been cancelled.
He proposed, and the board agreed, that staff will explore whether the gap in service will qualify to be covered under the provincial government's BC Broadband Satellite Initiative, designed to bring Internet connection to rural areas of the province. If Pilkey Point Road qualifies, they could see themselves hooked up to service through provider Xplornet.
"I can't imagine not having Internet in this day and age," commented alternate director Sharon Jackson.
