Roy L Hales/ CKTZ News - Twincomm is partnering with CityWest, in their work towards bringing fibre optic to Cortes Island and the surrounding communities. They have signed an agreement in principle.
In a press release, issued yesterday, Twincomm stated, “with CityWest may be the best possible solution for Twincomm, our customers, and our team having the support and services CityWest has to offer. Their experience in smaller, remote communities in northern BC, including the west coast, and their aligning mission and values will be an asset to the communities Twincomm currently serves.”
Over the years, Twincomm’s customer base has expanded from Cortes Island, west to Quadra Island, east to Lund, as far south as Texada Island and the island communities in between.
After 18 years with Twincomm, Dino Tsakonas has left the company and, as of Monday, June 28, works for City West.
Colleen Dragseth is now the General Manager.
Everything else remains much the same.
Twincomm will continue to provide the people within its service area internet connection and tech support.
Their rates actually improved in 2021 and Twincomm doesn’t foresee any upcoming changes.
