Dammit, I should have moved to Cityplace.

With a fibre optic network going directly into the building, at every third floor, more or less and then being distributed by ethernet, this is the fastest residential Internet access at 100mbps (50 times faster than cable and 2,000 times faster than a 56k modem).

It's the most technologically advanced Digital Neighbourhood in Canada with $30 million spent on a high-capacity fibre-optic network.

If I had just known this two weeks ago, I would have moved to Cityplace!

Here is another great blog about it along with great comments.

Here's why you need to hate Bell. They are ruining the internet. Thanks to CRTC for increasing the stranglehold that the monopoly has on Canadian internet.
