There has been a high speed Bell connection just a few kilometres out of range of my neighbourhood for 10 years. After a few years of begging for it to be extended and hearing that it was coming in '3-6 months' I gave up hoping that I would ever have a terrestrial connection.

    The end of the fiber coming out of the local CO is in front of the summer home for the rich family from the US. That's about 3 km and a direction bored crossing of a county road and the 416 from my house. The surveyors told me that they were surveying the poles for Bell fiber and they told my neighbor down the road the same thing but added that the fiber construction was not budgeted yet. I think we'll be lucky to see anything happen before the summer of 2025.

    Until then, I'm going to stay on StarLink.
