It's this EXPENSIVE AT&T data roaming through Rogers in Canada. $16/MB.

Might as well be in nowhere... I can't find wireless anywhere, except  
in Peterborough which is 30 minutes away by car.

But, I'll have to say that DX is easy here with 100 watts and a wire  
antenna up 20' between 2 trees. The ground is probably 80% rock and  
lots of lakes around here.

Very, very pretty country. Little, if any, noise in the bands.  That  
is, when the kids aren't using my Infocus projector to watch movies on  
the wall. The projector causes noise on 20m and higher... Like S9  
levels.
