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.
Fast fibre-optic internet arrives in many small towns before big cities

There is a small, local company trying to do fibre in the Beckwith/Ashtion/Munster/Dywer Hill/Fallowfield road area. They have a survey where people can express interest. The survey can be found here: https://communityfibre.servicezones.net/BeckwithNorth. Any help advertising the survey much appreciated! Enter your address to see if you are in their zone and if so the survey button pops up. More information on the company can be found here: http://www.communityfibre.ca/. Thanks!
