Ottenhof, who uses Northwestel as his internet provider, says his internet speed tests in January have been half what they usually are. “I haven’t been able to do that because of the (internet) connection problems,” Aliyak said, who is also a single mother to five children. In Rankin Inlet, Amanda Arsenault said she and other people she knows in the community have complained about the slow internet connection over the past four weeks. Specifically, more devices are being used on the same internet connection. Regardless, both Ottenhof and Arsenault say better internet infrastructure is needed for the territory’s connection problems to go away.
