I live in a small village in NB of about 600 people, and we’ve had broadband a few years ago. I was kinda surprised actually. It has encouraged a lot of people to buy a PC and get broadband.
Great news for the rural communities in NB. Hopefully one of the initial steps towards classifying broadband internet as a utility.
Yeah, GREAT!
