I would like to encourage all of you to follow the instructions
below. Industry Canada has instituted a program of "broadband
mapping" to try and get a better idea of Internet speeds available
across the country.
Please send in the results for your location. The more respondents
the more accurate the final results.
Thanks,
Gareth
