CityWest
City West Cable and Telephone Corporation, operating as CityWest and formerly known as CityTel, is a municipally-owned corporation that provides wireline and internet services in Prince Rupert, British Columbia, Canada. CityWest also purchased Monarch Cablesystems' assets, which were split between the former CityTel and Shaw Communications.
It has been in operation since 1910. On August 10, 2005, the City of Prince Rupert reorganized CityTel into a new company, called the City West Group of Companies, through the holding company "City West Cable and Telephone Corporation", or CityWest, as it is now known. On October 1, 2005, the company had purchased all of Monarch Cablesystems's Northern British Columbia cable assets, and its service area had expanded accordingly.
