EastLink is on target to provide 100% coverage to its service areas in Zones 5 and 6.
This past summer, EastLink wrapped up a series of well attended public meetings in each of the counties where EastLink representatives shared information and answered questions about the construction and commissioning (connecting) of sites and telecommunications towers.

While the project completion date has moved, we remain on target to provide 100% coverage in our service areas (Zones 5 and 6). We expect that almost 30 of our sites will be connected and serviceable by the end of the year with the remaining sites expected to be connected between January 2010 and May 2010.

We are currently in negotiations with Rogers and Allstream on co-location towers.

Zones 5 and 6: Lunenburg, Queens, Shelburne, Yarmouth, Digby, Annapolis, Kings, Hants
