Provincial Broadband Support
In 2021, the Ontario government announced the Building Broadband Faster Act (BBFA) with the
mission to accelerate broadband connectivity to approximately 700,000 underserved or unserved
homes and businesses in the province of Ontario by 2025. Considering the reach of Hydro One in
these communities requiring broadband services, a choice-based operating model has been offered
to better support Internet Service Providers with the timely deployment of broadband across the
province of Ontario.
For more information on these choices, see the home page. For more
information on how to access Hydro One’s poles for the purpose of broadband, visit the Distribution Joint Use Resources page.
