Original Zayo PDFs reviewed visually on 4 October 2026. The Canadian diagram names Toronto, Ottawa and Montréal and draws links between them. The May 2026 overview illustrates the combined North American network. These are regional diagrams, not surveyed cable alignments.

Snapshot of listed interconnection facilities, matched to the mapped regional facility register on 4 October 2026. A listed interconnection is not a fibre-route geometry, parcel-service guarantee or statement of building ownership. An empty facility list is not proof that a carrier is absent.

AdSense requires site ownership verification and review before ads can run. Its crawler must be able to reach the site. Advertising integration remains off until a publisher account and approved site are available.

Cogent publishes separate Americas IP-network and optical-wavelength PDFs, both titled Q3 2026 when reviewed. The wavelength map names Toronto, Montréal and Buffalo. Neither PDF identifies Highway 401 or Highway 7 as the cable alignment. The public wave-location map provides facility points; the 3D map draws endpoint arcs, not cable geometry.

Cloudflare documents free Web Analytics for page views, visitors and page performance. It supports a manual JavaScript beacon or automatic injection for eligible proxied sites. The project’s beacon is disabled until a site token is configured.

Bell’s 2026 PDF draws two Toronto–Ottawa connections and two Ottawa–Montréal connections. The original diagram is provided without assigning the lines to highways. Source 107 records a local Bell fibre segment at Carleton Place only.

Rogers’ operator-branded fibre-backbone PDF names Toronto, Ottawa, Montréal, Hamilton and Buffalo. It does not identify Highway 401 or Highway 7. The original is provided without geographic corridor assignments.

TELUS’ operator page links separate fixed, mobile and SIP maps. The fixed-network image shows two Toronto–Ottawa lines. The filename contains NOV-20; a current route-data date is not given. The original image is provided without assigning highways or a Peterborough POP.

Table 3-4 in the July 2020 MTO/WSP report records existing buried Bell fibre along the north side of Highway 7 within the Carleton Place study area. The table also records Rogers ducts with buried cable near Highway 15 and McNeely Avenue, but does not identify that cable as fibre. This local utility record does not identify an end-to-end Toronto–Ottawa circuit or its route through Peterborough.

EORN reports more than 5,500 km of regional fibre backbone and connections to 63 business parks and economic clusters. This is regional project evidence, not a carrier-specific cable alignment or dedicated service qualification for an individual parcel.

Acronym’s May 2025 map distinguishes existing network from planned extensions and names Peterborough. The original image is linked alongside its optical-network PDF; neither is converted into street-level cable positions.

The 2026 long-haul diagram distinguishes existing dark-fibre paths from routes under construction and names Toronto and Montréal. Zayo’s Canada–US overview documents wavelength, Ethernet, DIA, private-network and dark-fibre services and says detailed KMZ maps are available through Tranzact. These additional sources are linked for route research; they have not been treated as surveyed public cable geometry.

Public NCTC supplier-directory download with an embedded Zayo customer legend dated 15 March 2019. The legend states that positions are deliberately obscured from as-built quality. The dedicated Zayo KMZ page displays the source routes and location records. The multi-carrier regional map retains city-level locations, including Peterborough, without route lines or local POP address pins.

Downloaded and inspected 5 October 2026. The linked file contains 634 point geometries and no LineString geometry. NCTC labels it Cogent On-Net CNDC – CDC – Hubsites USA. It is a US facility-location dataset, not a Canadian fibre-route export; no current data date is asserted.

The operator’s wavelength FAQ says KMZ files are supplied case by case through the account manager under NDA. The network page provides check-network@arelion.com for plant enquiries. Reviewed 5 October 2026; no request has been sent.

The operator describes the map as general network representation and says owned, leased-access and IRU segments are not distinguished. It prohibits duplication. Linked for research rather than copied into a fibre layer. No current Peterborough, Ontario path or public KMZ download was established from the reviewed material on 5 October 2026.

The Uniti business page offers custom KMZ files by request. The former Windstream Wholesale website redirects to Uniti Wholesale, whose map describes long-haul routes, laterals, data centres and POPs. These US network-planning sources do not establish Peterborough service.

Segra offers a network KMZ and on-net/near-net building list through a file-request form. Its page describes a 24-state US network. Listed as a US map-data source, not a Peterborough carrier.

The official catalogue offers map data in KMZ and provider-road data in GeoPackage. Its dataset was updated 18 June 2026. Coverage data can help discover provider names; it does not establish enterprise DIA, wavelengths or dark-fibre service, or a physical backbone cable alignment.

Public AS1299 facility records reviewed 5 October 2026 and matched by facility ID to the site’s existing directory. These are listed interconnections in Toronto, Montréal and Buffalo, not surveyed fibre routes or a claim of service in Peterborough.

Rogers’ 2022 product sheet documents wholesale wavelengths up to 400 Gbps, subject to its stated conditions. This is a carrier product record, not parcel-specific availability.

TELUS publishes wholesale wavelength and Carrier Ethernet services and announced 400 Gig capability on 22 October 2025. These product records do not specify a Peterborough route or local dark-fibre availability.

The legend distinguishes Rogers Fibre Backbone from wireless and cable coverage. The national map does not identify Highway 401 or Highway 7 for the Toronto–Ottawa connections.

The public wave-location data reviewed 5 October 2026 contains facility points, including Toronto, Montréal and Buffalo. The 3D map supplies city endpoints and arcs. Neither provides surveyed fibre-line geometry. Some raw facility names are legacy names; they are not imported into this site.

The operator product sheet lists 10G, 100G and 400G optical wave interfaces, long-haul and metro waves, and availability of latency metrics, route maps and KMZ on request. The reverse side contains a general network map, not a survey of wavelength routes.

Trent’s joint announcement documents the optical-network connections to Trent University and Fleming College in Peterborough. ORION’s current directory lists both as connected institutions. ORION is a research and education network; this is not a commercial dark-fibre or wavelength availability claim.

The operator lists Telehouse, Cologix TOR1 and Coloware YTZ1 at 151 Front Street West. The map groups these exchange connections at their shared building address.

The operator and exchange record list Cologix MTL3, Cologix MTL7, eStruxture MTL-1, Equinix MT1 and Vantage QC4 as exchange locations.

CANIX publishes an Ottawa–Gatineau exchange. Its PeeringDB exchange record lists PureColo Ottawa DC1 at 390 March Road as a local facility. Exchange records do not establish a Peterborough backbone or fibre route ownership.

The project owner confirms on 5 October 2026 that Nexicom already operates a small data centre in Millbrook. Nexicom’s operator page separately documents its server-colocation service (source 8). No capacity, power rating or facility street address is inferred.

The project owner states on 5 October 2026 that 107 Park Street North is not for sale and suggests it as a possible future data-centre site if redevelopment makes land available. This is a planning suggestion, not an owner sale offer or a City-approved data-centre proposal.
