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.
New Tower Being Erected In Osgoode?
A reader of my
First Line Road High-Speed Internet Project website just informed me that there appears to be a
new communications tower being erected in or near
Osgoode, on River Road just a few kilometres south of Hurst Marina. The reader suspects it's either a cell tower or a wireless Internet tower, but doesn't know any more than that.
If anyone out there's has any info on this tower, please let me know.

i am in the process of getting online with xplornet wireless over south of Greely, on Stagecoach Rd. I spoke with a rep the other day that said I am within range of the Kars tower, but that another tower is going up in the Osgoode area very shortly. This may be that tower.
