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.

More on Arryba

This evening, I received both an email and a telephone call from the COO of Arryba, Steve Schauland, informing me that all Arryba customers should now have service restored (as of 3:30pm EDT), thanks in large part to Storm Internet.

Also, Storm Internet is working to provide current Arryba subscribers with the opportunity to have continued high-speed Internet services. To signup with Storm, please visit the following link:

In the additional comments section, please indicate that you are a current Arryba client as there is a special arrangement being made for all existing Arryba clients.

There are a number of other postings on Arryba's website, which I strongly recommend that all Arryba customers read.
