as best as we can get

Heard back from Blair about internet service options for the top of the Blue Mountains. He reminded me it is rural. Very rural.

DSL: Not available. Never will be.

Fiber: Not available. Likely never will be. Would be very expensive, if it was. (Curiously, Bell is trenching in fiber up Grey Rd 2.)

T1: Not available at present. Possible option from Bell. A fair bit slower than microwave. Even in a bonded paired configuration. Expensive. Tariffs apply.

Satellite: Available. But slower than microwave. Less capacity.

"Cellular:" Available. Slow and variable. Moderate costs. Rogers system tested.
