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.
Tracking High-Speed Access Around Rural Ottawa
Now that almost all of First Line Road & Century Road East (Waterson Corners) have access to one or more forms of high-speed Internet access, I am planning to expand the scope of this blog as well as my
First Line Road High-Speed Internet Project page to include news and information about high-speed access in other areas of rural Ottawa. I may even include some areas immediately outside the Ottawa city limits, such as Kemptville, Carleton Place, and Almonte.
If you have any relevant leads or information, please let me know.
