Bell Aliant has expanded coverage of its ‘FibreOP’ branded fibre-to-the home (FTTH) network to Sussex, New Brunswick, after a local investment of around CAD2 million (USD2 million) to offer its fibre-based triple-play services to 3,000 homes and businesses in the area. Bell Aliant aims to cover 650,000 premises with FTTH by the end of 2012 under a total investment of roughly CAD500 million. FibreOP builds are complete in Greater Saint John including Quispamsis, Rothesay, Grand Bay/Westfield, as well as Bathurst, Fredericton, Miramichi, and Moncton, including Riverview, Dieppe and Shediac, while customers in parts of Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland & Labrador also have access to Aliant’s FTTH services.
