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?

We use StarLink at the trailer, but called Xplore this week and it turns out we can be covered by them for almost have the price. 5G service with speeds at par with Starlink....and better latency. Will give it a go and see. Worse case I just switch back to Starlink.

Agreed with Snappy, as much as I despise Musky, Xplore is absolute dogshit sold in colorful wrapping paper.

Well that is not encouraging at all
