More than partially plausible. The average rate doesn't jibe with my own experience in places such as Poland, for example, which has terrific broadband speed in urban areas, at least as fast as urban experience in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. And what to think of Finland, the most connected country on earth, having a slower rate that GB? Or Germany's rate as slower than that of the US? "Average" is only the partial story...

Since the map shows average speed, that would mean that those in your 90 mile band must have one heck of a high rate to make up for all those who live in the rest of Canada. Does this seem plausible? ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** ************************************************************************* ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
