Jerry;

What ever happened to the Satellite Internet Service being developed by Microsoft? That could solve a lot of problems if it works and is affordable. Notice the prepositional phrase with co-ordinating conjunction, “if it works and is affordable”. :)

>>I had the honor tonight to test a new connection in East Canada and I was surprise of its upload speed. In Montreal, I have a cable connection. As it is, cable connections allows a good speed on download but usually modem speed on upload. Here, I just uploaded the same file I usually upload in Montreal at a T1 speed. That is not a commercial line. It's the usual line home users are using here. It's just amazing! For 40.00$ a month, you download at 3.5 mbps and upload at about 1.5. Anyone else found something like that elsewhere?

>>New Brunswick have been known to have an incredible Internet and tele communications setup all over the province. They were ranked on number one spot for a few years for the best tele communications infrastructure. Basically, the fibor is all across the province. Some people already asked me: "Do you know why everywhere you call in a calling center around America, it's usually answered over there?" :)

>>I tested that setup last year but I didn't have my full installation. Now, I have and I am able to compare with the exact same sets of data. Pretty cool infrastructure!

>My ISP offers Tier 1 ADSL and digital phone service for about $50/month. That's about 40KB/s. Tier 3 is about 120KBs but is too expensive. Here at work, when not many people are on our T1, I can download at over 400KBs.
