those must be some remote regions!

No, just small towns that don't wanna change. You know, like Nova Scotia, but Youngstown, OH is considering it.......:D ....j/k.

There are a few towns around here that still require boxes.

Nova Scotia is a reeeally big small town. The reason we had party lines for so long is because no one lived here in the 80-90's. No people = no votes. No votes = we don't give a rats ass.

Just a side note. I noticed my connection speed for the first time last night, after TC mentioned we get 14Mbps here. Well, I get a lot better than that at home. On wireless, I got a signal pushing 54Mbps. That's not a typo. I only have one wireless signal at home (so it's not combining with a neighbours wireless router).

That's likely your LAN speed, not your internet connection speed. Mine shows 54MBPS when I hover the mouse over the network icon, too. My desktop, with a wired connection to the LAN, shows 100 MBPS.

Oh, and I found this the other day - kinda seems appropriate:
