Eastlink Brings High-Speed Internet to New Brunswick and Newfoundland Communities
HALIFAX, NS, June 11, 2026 /CNW/ – Eastlink has announced the expansion of its internet services to select communities in New Brunswick and Newfoundland & Labrador. Residents in Moncton, Fredericton, Saint John, Miramichi, Tracadie, and Bathurst in New Brunswick, as well as St. John's in Newfoundland, now have access to Eastlink's broadband offerings.
Jeff Gillham, CEO of Eastlink, expressed enthusiasm about the expansion: "We are pleased to bring more choice and competition to more communities, along with the core advantages that set us apart from our competitors. This includes our strong, local retail presence, value-packed internet and mobile bundles, and the exceptional service that our customers have come to expect from us."
This move is part of Eastlink's broader growth strategy to reach more Canadians, particularly in areas where the company does not yet have its own network infrastructure. Gillham noted that the current wholesale regulatory framework has prompted the company to explore alternative expansion methods. "The current wholesale regulatory framework has caused us to consider different ways of expanding our service footprint where investing in building new networks is no longer viable. This includes accessing the networks of Canada's major carriers in areas where we do not have our own, so that we can connect more Canadians to the excellent products and industry-leading customer experience we deliver in thousands of other communities," he explained.
Eastlink's expanded services in these select communities, where the company has built its own mobile network, will feature its flagship eero-powered WiFi. This technology delivers enhanced internet performance and multiple speed options, with the opportunity to add whole home coverage and bundle internet with mobile service.
