High speed access (Score 1)

I just moved from a small town, in Nova Scotia, which was lucky enough to have DSL, supplied by the telco, to a smaller town, which has none. The telco says it will be at least three years before they travel the 40km and connect the area. There have been similar responses from the two competing satellite companies.

The company i work for was promised DSL, by a gov. organisation, in the very area that i now live, last november. It didn't happen.

Government often has a hard time getting the private sector to follow it's timetable even if they throw lots of money at it.
