Re: Fantastic!
There are still quite a lot of areas in Ontario that don't have any form of broadband (DSL or Cable). I think hell will freeze over before they get dsl in White River, Ontario |

You forgot to mention that Candian's can drive either! You all drive slow in the left lane down here in Florida, and annoy me to hell.
I'll take our "DSL deployment issues" and you take a driving course!

Hahahha!! Those are the old ones we set adrift to die.  In the old days, we used ice floes. Today, we use Crown Victorias, Impalas, and Caddys'. |

Haha!! The brithplace of the true Winnie the Pooh!
White River is only a hop north of Thunder Bay. It's not out of the question DSL may be available there down the road. At the very least, Thunder Bay is the first municipality in Canada to attempt the whole BPL thing on a large scale. |

LMFAO!!!!
Seriously though, BPL is in its infancy, if they can get it depployed into more rural areas it'd be a big boon for the carriers and possibly get the Telcos to speed deployment as well as whip the Cable companies into shape.

Oh, I see. I forgot the US has DSL deployment issues.
Well if you Canadians ever decided to move more than 5 miles from the US border and populate the Great White North so would you. 
I know a SLIGHT exaggeration, but 90% of the Canadian population is concentrated along the US border and coastlines.

Calgary, AB | Yeah, within 200 miles of the border. With only 30 million people. The DC to Boston corridor has that many people. But I do understand what you're saying. |

Lets see....
500 miles
That's 2,640,000 feet
1 repeater every 1000 feet
at about $750.00 each
that's just short of 2 million bucks
2 million bucks worth of fiber would go a loooong way. |
