Mackenzie residents struggle with slow internet speeds
MACKENZIE – If you live near or in one of BC’s urban centres, you may be used to loading the internet in a matter of seconds, if you live in rural Northern BC loading one simple page can take a lot longer.
Mackenzie is not alone in the battle for better connectivity, the further you stray from Prince George city limits the more it becomes a challenge.
According to a report done for the Regional District of Fraser-Fort George in 2021, almost all surrounding communities struggled to meet the benchmark download speed of 25 megabytes per second.
