Broadband Map of Canada / BBC iPlayer
Hey folks,
If you are struggling to pinpoint a good place to settle in Canada and access to high speed Internet access is really important to you (maybe for your work etc), check out this Broadband Map I found:
http://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/720.nsf/eng/h_50010.html
Also, the BBC are going to make their iplayer availble worldwide soon (https://iplayer.bbcworldwide.com and http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2011...western-europe). Be interested to see how that all works (but without decent net speeds it won't!)
To think I could be taking BBC with me to Canada and also be able to watch Saturday 3pm footie games on Cable... Heaven!

I think you might be being overkind for once. The map certainly doesnt tie in with experience in my area. I think that were either cable or DSL available as the map claims, that I might be using one or other...

Those nice folks from Bell (or their contractors) are currently installing fibre optic cables on the poles around this part of the world. Fibre Optic to the door and 170Mbps internet connection will shortly be available. OK, the 170Mbps service is likely $250 a month but the 30Mbs service and digital tv looks interesting.

So far impressed with internet. Had a 7.1 GIG free game to download from Sony as an apology for being hacked - previously Rogers reported it would take 270 minutes to download. On the Bell Fibre Op it took 37 minutes.
The HD TV has some very useful features ( multi room PVR without need for multi PVRs etc. However, the HD picture quality is far worse than Bell Sat HD unfortunately.
I will have to see whether I can live with it ( much more artefacts, pixelation etc )
