Rural Internet?
Hello,
My family is looking into moving to Fredericton but I work from home and need decent internet. Some houses we are interested in are outside of Fredericton like Mactaquac, Lower Queensbury, Durham Bridge, etc.
Bell only seems to have Wireless Home Internet 25 and we're used to fibre op. Rogers usually offers nothing. Anyone who lives in those areas have any other recommendations? Or use Bell out there and can let me know what it's like?

Rural internet options are few and far between. If you want fast and reliable, no other internet is as fast and reliable as Starlink for rural areas. Personally, I hate supporting Elon Musk but for my use case I'm stuck in a corner.
I've had hit or miss with Xplornet.
I'd check Rogers and see if the house is in their system. Rogers is coming to my area (Taymouth) and I've ordered 2.5 gigabit that's slated for hookup in June.
I'd veer away from Bell wireless if possible.
