CityWest addresses Service issues and embarks on Internet upgrades

As it turns out, it wasn't you, it was the CityWest infrastructure where the company's Internet service interruption issues of the last week could be found.

Local Internet users in Prince Rupert no doubt have noticed the frequent service interruptions and glacial like speeds of the system over the last five days or so, with the level of complaints registered with CityWest resulting in an apology from the telecommunication company posted to their Facebook page on Thursday afternoon.

As part of that entry, CityWest also announced that the communication service will be providing faster speeds for residents in the months to come.

As part of the work on improving Internet service in the Community CityWest has provided some updates on their website, with a late May entry highlighting some of the work that has been taking place and what is to come.
