Nova Scotia-based telecommunications provider Eastlink has announced the acquisition of Sunwire’s home internet, TV, and phone services in Ontario, specifically targeting the Sudbury, Timmins, and surrounding areas. This purchase aligns with Eastlink’s commitment to expanding its presence and investment across Ontario, enhancing access to high-speed internet and other essential services for local communities.
Sunwire customers can expect continuity in billing and support from Sunwire during the initial transition period. Eastlink has assured customers that there will be no immediate pricing changes and that they won’t need to take any action at this time. A dedicated FAQ page on the Eastlink website outlines further details, and Eastlink plans to reach out to customers with updates over the coming months, emphasizing a smooth and seamless transition process.
Eastlink’s significant investment in Northern Ontario over the past decade—amounting to over $180 million, with $75 million in the last five years—has connected hundreds of communities to high-speed internet through its robust fibre network. This acquisition strengthens Eastlink’s Ontario portfolio, expanding its reach within the province’s telecommunications market.
Meanwhile, Sunwire, an Ontario telecommunications provider for 15 years, will continue to serve business clients with a focus on its SolSwitch cloud communications platform, cybersecurity, IT solutions, and structured cabling.
