telMAX Announces Multi-Year Partnership with Ontario Honda Dealers Indy at Markham
A high-performance partnership uniting Canada's fastest internet provider with one of the world's fastest motorsports festivals
MARKHAM, ON, June 19, 2026 /CNW/ - Today telMAX, Canada's leading provider of 100% Pure Fibre Internet, announced a new multi-year partnership as the official internet partner of the Ontario Honda Dealers Indy at Markham. The partnership was unveiled this morning at a reception held at telMAX's Markham Head Office, attended by Markham Mayor Frank Scarpitti, City dignitaries, community business leaders, and Indy officials.
Speed isn't a feature for telMAX -- it's a promise. As Canada's fastest internet provider, recognized by PCMag for four consecutive years, telMAX operates at a different level: relentless speed, uncompromising precision, and performance built to last. This event runs on the same principle.
Where race cars push the limits of engineering at every turn, telMAX's 100% Pure Fibre network pushes the limits of connectivity -- delivering blazing speeds, zero-compromise reliability, and the kind of consistent performance that homes and businesses depend on when it counts most. From the starting grid to the finish line, both brands know that performance isn't a moment, it's a commitment.
"This partnership, as the official internet sponsor, is a natural fit for telMAX," said Michael Strople, Chief Executive Officer of telMAX. "Motorsport is built on speed, precision, and relentless performance -- the same qualities engineered into every kilometre of our fibre network. As we accelerate our expansion across the GTA and Ontario, this partnership gives us a powerful platform to demonstrate what world-class internet truly looks like."
As official internet partner, telMAX will align its brand with one of the region's most exciting sporting events, leveraging the energy, speed, and visibility of the race to build awareness of its fibre services as the company continues to expand.
"We're thrilled to welcome telMAX as a valued partner," said Jeff Atkinson, president of the Ontario Honda Dealers Indy at Markham. "Their commitment to speed, innovation, and reliability aligns perfectly with the spirit of the Indy. Having telMAX join us as official internet partner strengthens the event experience and adds another respected, performance-driven brand to our roster."
Markham's Mayor, Frank Scarpitti added, "Markham is excited to host an event that celebrates innovation, energy, and excellence. We're proud of Markham's telMAX connected with the Indy race as their official Internet Partner. Their commitment to the City of Markham to provide fast and reliable internet now extends to our premier sporting event, creating success for our community and ensuring the Indy race stays connected too."
telMAX's partnership isn't just a sponsorship -- it's a declaration. World-class racing deserves world-class internet. Markham now has both.
