Exciting times ahead for Iroquois Falls, Monteith, Porquis Junction, and nearby communities! Bell has been hard at work laying down the infrastructure for their full fibre optic network—bringing lightning-fast internet, crystal-clear TV, and reliable home phone service right to our doorsteps.
📣 The Buzz from Our Community
Local families, teachers, healthcare workers, and mine commuters have been asking us daily: "When can we sign up for Bell Fibre?"
You're not alone—we're getting the same questions from customers stopping by Rick's Home and Office, and even folks on the street. As Bell's local dealer, we're just as eager for reliable high-speed options to replace spotty rural connections that drop during Zoom calls or Leafs games.
💬 What we're hearing: "My internet cuts out every time the kids start streaming." "I can't do telehealth calls reliably." "Working from home is impossible with this connection."
📋 The Honest Update
Right now, Bell isn't sharing firm timelines—even with us. Construction crews are visible, digging and installing lines, which is a great sign.
Based on typical rollouts in Northern Ontario towns our size, we expect some availability this year (2026). It might start with select neighbourhoods before expanding.
What We Know So Far
- ✓Construction crews actively installing fibre lines in the area
- ✓Infrastructure work visible throughout Iroquois Falls
- ?No official launch date announced yet
- ?Rollout may be phased by neighbourhood
We'll be the first to know when sign-ups open—and we'll handle your installation, modem setup, and bundle deals right here locally.
