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.

I think members of this blog can be notified of any new postings via email. Membership is free (and I won't spam you). As well, if you have an RSS news reader, you can easily be notifed of new postings to this blog by subscribing to: http://firstlinehs.blogspot.com/atom.xml

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.

Chris Spencer's First Line Road High-Speed Internet Project page has moved (again)

Chris Spencer's First Line Road High-Speed Internet Project page has moved to http://www.geocities.com/cspencer66/high-speed/. Users should update their bookmarks accordingly.

The move was desirable because I did not like how the ads were being displayed on my GeoCities Canada webspace. The ads are displayed in a cleaner/better fashion at GeoCities. The ads are mandatory, since the webspace is being provided for free. Appropriately, the ads are context-dependent, chosen by GeoCities/Yahoo based on the content of each page; they are also somewhat USA-centric.

Visitors to the old site will be automatically redirected to the new site. The redirection on the old site will remain for the foreseeable future.

-Chris
