Starlink
A very exciting potential solution for rural internet is Starlink.
Local Lanark County Beta Testers are experiencing speeds of 20-200mbps and are very happy with the service.
The cost is $800 for the equipment you can install yourself and $129.99 plus tax each month.
Starlink is accepting new customers on a gradual basis to ensure sufficient capacity.
