   I'm not sure if I mentioned, but Canada is ruled by three major ISP    
   monoplies; Bell, Rogers and Shaw. All three do not give two shits about   
   rural customers and have their hands in the pockets of the government. It does   
   not matter if you go with a smaller ISP; in the end, the lines and uplink are    
   eventually leased from the big three.

   they feel like fixing whatever line problems you have.
