DSL Service West End Sault
Information
Available as of 21 Dec 09
Bell Aliant
started DSL service in September 2009 in an area they describe as a 5 km
radius from the Central Office (CO) located at Airport and Baseline Roads. The
map below is an approximation of the service area and not a guarantee of
service to a specific address which may be within the radius.
While the Bell input said a 5 km radius, DSL service is normally measured in
cable distance and not a straight line. After about 5 km cable distance the
speed of the DSL service deteriorates.

The CRTC has directed the vendors to submit their implementation schedule to the
CRTC by January 15, 2010. At that time, the timeline for service availability
will become known.
