Re: Help... I'm in the No Internet Triangle!

There's a new broadband mapping project the federal government is doing here:

»www.ic.gc.ca/app/sitt/bbmap/hm.html?lng=eng

You have to zoom in on the map to where you live and click on the town. I looked at Newcastle and there is a wireless company called Silonet: »silonet.ca/

You might want to give them a try.

I checked out silonet's website and their map for tower locations.

»silonet.ca/towers.html

There MAY be one tower that would work... but you can see even on their map, their service seems to go around and skip everything between Newcastle and Welcome along Hwy 2 (They don't give a scale, but it's a large distance).
Just east of newcastle on their map you can see a large-ish green spot that is a golf course, and that road that runs along it is where broadband stops.
Right above the "t" in MacDonald Cartier Freeway on hwy 2 is where I am.

Cheers!
