Government of Canada on track to exceed high-speed Internet connectivity targets

The federal government is on track to exceed its goal of providing access to high-speed Internet to 98 per cent of Canadian households by 2026 and 100 per cent by 2030.

As of now, 93.5 per cent of Canadian households have access to high-speed Internet compared to just 79 per cent in 2014. By 2026, projections show that 98.6 percent of households will have access.

Since November 2020, 295 projects have been announced across Canada. This includes 45 projects in 2023 alone, which will serve more than 200,000 households. In 2023, 40,000 households also gained new access to high-speed Internet through completed projects.
