Re: Internet in the country !!
That's your opinion and you are entitled to it, I have lived on a 400 acre farm near my whole life. I like the country and peace and quiet. I know it doesn't offer what you get in city life, but that is my preferences. Yes it is God's land, but I prefer it

If i were her, i'd make sure God included decent internet in the rent/lease. If God can kill thousands in "natural disasters" so easily i'm pretty sure he can provide fibre optic cables on his land.

They work in the outskirts of Ottawa and I've heard reasonably good things about them in terms of speed, reliability. One thing I have heard is that their email system can go on the fritz at times, so you may want to use gmail, yahoo mail, or that email programme that teenagers love
