The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday edition that Canadian rural Internet provider Xplore Inc. plans to offer faster satellite Internet to those in remote locations this fall following the launch of the Jupiter 3 satellite into space. A Canadian Press dispatch to The Globe says that the New Brunswick-based telecom said the technology will provide a homegrown alternative to broadband Internet service offered to rural Canadians through Space X's Starlink low-Earth-orbit satellites. Xplore president and chief commercial officer Rizwan Jamal said his company's new broadband service will include speeds of 100 megabits a second, which is double the maximum speed it currently offers for satellite Internet. Other perks include professional installation, no upfront hardware costs and 24-hour Canada-based customer support. Mr. Jamal acknowledged the company, formerly Xplornet, has faced challenges in recent years with the arrival of SpaceX's Starlink service in Canada. Ottawa approved SpaceX's bid to provide high-speed Internet to Canadians through Starlink in November, 2020. In April, Starlink also teamed up with Rogers to deliver satellite-to-phone connectivity across Canada and bolster coverage in remote regions.
