Update on INTERNET

Thank you everyone for sharing your challenges and success stories with us!

We also appreciate the update from Peter Luckham of Island Trust, that:
- The Fibre optic project is still in stream and is waiting on funding
- The program is still on the table and the province has committed to fund all the projects that came in
- There were delays last summer with running the underwater fiber from Rupert to Victoria
- The project has resumed and hopes are it will be completed this year (yay!)

We have received very positive reviews about Beacon Wireless, who are based on Saltspring Island.
Service will be based upon your location, and a site visit is required to ensure you can get full reception.
Thus far, we have been really impressed with their responsiveness and the pricing is very reasonable.
We hear that Starlink is another option, but we'd prefer to put $$ in the pocket of a local, gulf island business.

They are scheduling their technicians to make a trip over to Thetis very soon, so if you'd like to get on the list, here is their info.
