@DerekMacEwen The Charlottetown Hotel reopens next month at $70 per night, in case the nostalgia on that other part of Kent Street does not suffice!

@VO1MX @DerekMacEwen Secondly, they have an excellent history of extracting money from government to invest in new lines, even when it was their duty in the first place to do so. Not selling you service now means more government money later.

@VO1MX @DerekMacEwen We are working on something for people where Bell comes up short.

[Island Telecom @IslandTel]

@VO1MX @DerekMacEwen From Bell's standpoint, they run GPON, which is a shared system, like the old telephone party lines, so they may not have accounted for additional capacity in a specific area.

@karla_morford Oh, you REALLY have to message us. We like Emyvale.

If people have to pay $649 for equipment plus $129 per month for service, how bad is rural Internet in PEI?

That bad. We can do better. #PEI #InternetForEveryone

@DerekMacEwen @spinphoto Actually, you CAN, and we have the Ditch Witch.

@MattTabesss @karla_morford We can get to Kelly's Cross BUT the PEI Broadband Fund Residential Stream closes on March 31st, so you need to get your application in soon.

There are a number of sites left for us to do, and a general shortage of certain models of equipment, so expect delays!

From @CBCNews: In a region of Quebec known for spotty internet access, about 100 lakeside households have received a taxpayer-funded hookup to Bell Fibe's high-speed internet access. One of those cottages is owned by Bell CEO Mirko Bibic. https://t.co/niJPW5NBlV

Bell announced wireless service in PEI for around $100 per month, but less than two years ago it was $79.95 in Ontario.

This is even after Bell got tens of millions of dollars more provincial money in PEI.

Anyone remember this blast from the past?

Ever wonder what happened to the 'prosperity fund'?

@DerekMacEwen @ricepoint1 @jamescdwyer We are installing fibre just a few hundred meters outside of Charlottetown where customers until now only had DSL, Xplornet, or Wicked Eh as options.

It took longer than expected, cost tens of thousands of dollars more, because Bell would not cooperate. #PEI #InternetForEveryone

@Tim_Banks @a7thminor @ChtownPE @Downtown_Chtown If you offer low-income units, we will also offer low-income Internet, telephone, and television services for this group of people. Affordable means more than just rent. #PEI #DoingGood

@a7thminor @Tim_Banks @ChtownPE @Downtown_Chtown In Europe, a green roof would be grass and other vegetation to 'make up for' the lost land under the building, but far more achieve even better results with things like redirecting the rain from the roof to purposes such as water for washing clothes or flushing toilets.
