I'm gonna be in Canada myself this weekend so I'm going to get a firsthand account of what's going on there, hopefully.
I do know that the Canadian government had taken quite a diferent stance on broadband deployment, as well as their definition of "broadband".
In Canada, anything less than 512kbps doesn't qualify as "broadband".
But I will just see for myself in a few days.

Re: I'll taste it myself

Canadian broadband's difference is accountability more than speed or deployment. The USA has embraced monopoly's and declining standards to our detriment as a society. My AT&T connection has gone from 3500/128 to 1500/128 over the past four months, down from 7000/1300 4 years ago. Most DSL in this area(MNS/QWEST)is still slow and unreliable.Not only is Canadian service better, but the carriers are financially stable, while US counterparts go bankrupt en masse.
Have a good trip.

Re: I'll taste it myself

Sounds about like what I have heard and read.
Good to hear from you again, Pup. I haven't seen ya in a while.
But, I agree with you, and you seem to have underscored my points, that Canada has a much more conducive broadband environment than we do here in the States.
And thanks...I'm hoping the weather clears a bit though....:)
