NorthernTel (formerly Northern Telephone Limited or NTL) is a telephone company in Ontario, Canada.
NorthernTel began in April 1905 in New Liskeard, Ontario, as the Temiskaming Telephone Company. It grew by buying other regional telephone providers and became the Northern Telephone Company Ltd. in 1928. Over the years, the company expanded into Northwestern Ontario and Northwestern Quebec. These assets were later sold to Bell Canada (1969) and Télébec (1976), respectively.
The company changed its name to NorthernTel in 2003. Today, NorthernTel is the local telephone provider in several Northeastern Ontario communities, notably Timmins.
Since January 30, 2007, NorthernTel is a wholly owned subsidiary of Bell Aliant.
NorthernTel has a service area of 83,000 square kilometres.[2]
