It seems lightening-fast Internet isn't just for big cities, as Axia will soon begin a fibre-optic network expansion in the rural town of Nanton.

CAO of the town, Kevin Miller, says he could not be more excited.

"I think this is fantastic from an economic and community-development standpoint," he says. "We're going to have one of the best Internet networks in the province of Alberta, available for businesses and consumers to enjoy."

Miller says this will provide a huge opportunity for people to promote their businesses and says it will also be a big draw for people looking to move to Nanton.

The construction is already underway and customers will be able to use the fibre-optic Internet this fall.
