Why does only part of New Westminster have fibre, and the other part doesn’t?
Hey,
I live in uptown New Westminster and was wondering why there is no fibre. For some reason the Queensborough part has it but not us. Why is that. This is not very convenient and it is very annoying that they got it and not us.
Any feedback would be appreciated.

Mehar Overhead wiring is the easiest to run fiber. Underground wiring along the street is (normally now )installed in pipe. But from a junction boxs to the houses a lot was direct buried because the sub developer wanted the cheapest way and civic govt didn't care or didn't inspect the installation. The odds of getting fibre are remote unless complete failure of cable and tel wires. I worked power over and underground +30 years and did not agree with some of the stuff i was told to do. It has come back to haunt them. Cable and tel installations in areas were all direct in ground and now failing every day. Polecat

The Neighborhood is inhabited by Telus customers who have no insight to Telus’ plans of fibre expansion.
There are, however numerous reasons, including currently available speeds to your neighborhood, ease of installation, and priority to install in other areas, come to mind.- But Queensborough is a sub division of New Westminster. It sounds dumb for only the sub division to get it and not the whole city.
