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.

Digital Home Canada - Wireless Internet Showdown: Rogers or Bell?

The following online article provides background and comparative information on Bell Sympatico Unplugged and Rogers Portable Internet services, both of which use the non-line-of-sight Inukshuk Wireless network:
Digital Home Canada - Wireless Internet Showdown: Rogers or Bell?

Inukshuk Wireless is equally owned by Bell Canada and Rogers Communications. The Inukshuk Wireless network is intended to leverage both Bell's and Rogers' existing cellular network towers, although the Inukshuk network is neither cellular nor wi-fi based.

Not sure about them but I am using Acanac and very much satisfied with their services, no downtime or slow speeds at all.
