What kind of internet service do you have in Yellowknife itself?


Great question. Thankfully, we have a terrestrial link from down south all the way up to the Knife, so we have decent access. I say "decent" and not "amazing" because our bandwidth isn't anything like it is in some bigger markets down south, but it's totally reasonable for most stuff I find. (There's no buffering for Youtube or most streaming video websites, Divx movies need some time to buffer, usual throughput at home is around 300 kb/s down 100 kb/s up, at the office it's a couple megabits, enough to never have to wait for anything.)

I guess this means we don't do too much dogfooding, but our lives would be a lot more difficult if we did.
