Welcome to the self-proclaimed
Rural Ottawa High-Speed Internet Blog. High-speed Internet access is virtually
ubiquitous in the urban and suburban areas of Ottawa, but when I started this blog in 2005, only about 60% of the
rural areas of Ottawa have coverage.
However, even for rural citizens, high-speed Internet access is becoming as necessary as telephone service.
Happily, high-speed coverage for rural Ottawa has increased significantly, and not only is coverage
reportedly
above 90%, many rural residents and businesses now have more than one choice of high-speed ISP.
This purpose of this weblog is to track news and events related to high-speed (broadband) Internet access in the
rural areas of Ottawa and, to a lesser extent, in nearby townships.

Postings & Moderation
I've opened up this blog to allow anyone to post to it. However, I continue to moderate and will remove any inappropriate content, e.g. anything not related to high-speed internet access in the rural Ottawa, the Ottawa Valley, Eastern Ontario, and the Outaouais.
On November 10, 2005,
Arryba Communications, which provides high-speed fixed-wireless Internet access to rural Ottawa including the
First Line Road area, has acquired
AccessTNG Inc. Among other areas, AccessTNG provided high-speed fixed-wireless Internet access in the Osgoode, Manotick south (Carleton Golf & Yacht Club area), and Vernon. There's no word yet on how this will affect high-speed access availability in Ottawa south, but I will keep readers posted. Arryba already provides service in Osgoode and Vernon.
