[Fourlanders] middle of nowhere

[Randal DePriest]

Well, where I am (FN04xn), there's roaming and then there's DATA  
roaming. At the cottage (Canada-speak for lake house), I have about  
1-2 bars via Rogers.  In Peterborough (where I am now) it's max bars.

But... From what I've observed, cable TV, if it's here, is only in  
urban areas. If the rural areas have Internet access, it is via DSL  
(doubtful) or satellite.

Note that every house in the rural areas gas a tower with a big TV  
antenna. I've seen a few satellite TV dishes.
