Question 1

Who provides data center connectivity in British Columbia?

Accepted Answer

With new DC interconnections capped in 2026, BC's connectivity story is tightly coupled to where the limited available capacity actually lands — largely through First Nations partnership sites unlocked alongside Site C. Regional fiber options should be evaluated site-by-site rather than assumed at a provincial level, since the constrained interconnection landscape means viable locations are the exception, not the rule. Konative is a vendor-neutral brokerage: we make national and regional carriers compete for laterals, wavelengths, dedicated internet, and transport into British Columbia facilities, at no cost to the buyer.

Question 2

How long does fiber construction take in British Columbia?

Accepted Answer

Fiber cable lead times currently run 20 weeks to a year, and lateral construction typically needs 1–3 months of design, 3–6 months of permitting, and 3–12 months of build depending on distance and terrain. In British Columbia, start connectivity scoping at site selection — not at commissioning.

Question 3

How do I get carrier-neutral quotes in British Columbia?

Accepted Answer

Bring us the site (or coordinates) and requirements. We run the market across 100+ suppliers through our distribution partnership, return apples-to-apples quotes with construction and timeline detail, and stay on the account for its life. The suppliers pay us — the service costs you nothing.
