Earlier this month, Westman Communications Group completed a network upgrade for Neepawa. The network upgrade provides additional capacity to accommodate increasing internet traffic and the expansion of high definition video offerings.

Neepawa is one of 12 communities in western Manitoba having their network upgraded as part of a $4 million, 18 month plan to enable members to continue enjoying a superior customer experience for Internet, video and home phone services.

Upon the completion of this upgrade, Westman increased the Residential Internet speeds in Neepawa on Sept. 30. The primary focus was an increase in upload speeds to better facilitate content creation, online gaming and video streaming. The resulting increases in Neepawa now enable Westman Internet subscribers to enjoy speeds that are up to 20 per cent faster than similarly priced services from other Internet providers in the community.
