Moncton-based Xplornet has announced rural residents in New Brunswick now have access to its 50/10 internet plan with unlimited data.

“New Brunswickers want to go faster – and Xplornet has delivered,” said Allison Lenehan, President and CEO of Xplornet, in a statement. “Today, we are beyond excited to make 50/10 Mbps with unlimited data plans available to rural households and businesses in our home province.”

Xplornet says the launch of its internet plan offering up to 50 Mbps download and 10 Mbps upload is available to over 150 communities in the province, via its LTE fixed wireless network.
