My daughter (inland British Columbia) is getting satellite- the only available choice in her area for highspeed. A proposal to string cable died because too few people indicated that they would subscribe- the largest population group is city folk in summer homes- they all have broadband at home, so deep-sixed the cable proposal.

Another daughter, also living in the bush*, has had satellite for a couple of years now and is quite satisfied with it (two satellite systems, one for internet and business, the other for TV).

Here in the city, the broadband cable also takes care of telephone and television, so one provider for all.

*bush- anywhere beyond walking distance to Starbucks.
