- The Satellite Internet Service Rebate Program currently remains available to accept applications from residents and business owners across the province who are unserved by high-speed wired or fixed wireless internet. The final remaining projects previously announced through the Internet for Nova Scotia Initiative continue to advance. This satellite solution provides an interim solution for many Nova Scotians.
- The rebate covers the one-time costs for eligible homes and businesses to set-up satellite internet from a qualified provider, including hardware, taxes, shipping, and installation, up to a maximum of $1,000. Monthly subscription fees are not eligible for reimbursement through the Satellite Internet Service Rebate Program
- The rebate also remains available to the approximate 3,700 homes and businesses for which no feasible wired or wireless internet solution has been found as well as addresses previously identified as not receiving high-speed access until after the end of 2023.
- The Internet for Nova Scotia Initiative has met and exceeded the goal to bring high-speed internet access to 95%, and as close to 100%, of Nova Scotian homes and businesses as possible. To date, we have approximately 99% coverage with access to connections continuing and close to 100% with the satellite rebate program.
