Technically Canada has a low population density when you divide its
population by the size of the country. However, it is highly
concentrated. Over three quarters of its population lives within 90
miles of the US border. Also see this map of the distribution.

Canada needs only a 1 dimensional backbone. The US a 2 dimensional network.

For those who say that USA has rotten broadband speeds because we have

The real reason is lack of competition and 8 years of neocon rule
resulting in no national broadband policy.
