Beats the pants off of Canadian internet

These companies should be actively pursuing the Canadian broadband market. Up in Canada our internet prices just keep on climbing while they keep falling in America. We have broadband caps far lower than anything on American satellite internet. In the near future all American satellite internet will be far cheaper to the consumer than Canadian broadband. This will spell the death of all Canadian broadband and open up Canada to the American satellite internet market. Canadian broadband will exclusively be satellite internet from America while the people on constrained budgets in Canada will be on dial-up also from America. America is Canada's future for internet subscribers.

What the heck are you talking about? I live in a very rural area in New Brunswick (Berry Mills) and I can get Rogers which can be up to 18mbps (60gb or 100gb cap) or Aliant which is unlimited 5mbps or 3mbps. The provincial gov. gave both providers funding to expand, and they did just that. However, cell coverage sucks in my area, .

Edit - Forgot to mention, can also get wireless internet from RedBall (redballinternet.com). While not fast or much of a cap a month, it provides to more rural areas also.
