Hi Canada and MDKMDK,
We go up there frequently as it's only a couple hundred miles from our home or less. My wife has close relation living in Canada and one was a university professor who was part of the original healthcare design team that devised your original healthcare system before your Gov had messed it up.
We have several connectivity methods in Michigan and elsewhere in the USA. Cable, phone lines like DSL etc, cell towers all over that overlap coverage by miles of distance and the biggest by far is Verizon which covers most of every single state, several satellite systems too such as Hughesnet for one that has over a million individual subscribers alone just in the USA, and other systems also. If you want Internet in the USA there's a way to have it whether you are in the desert, on top of a mountain, or even in the middle of one of the huge Great Lakes and/or most of the oceans areas. Then there's also the Delorme InReach System the serious remote hikers and explorers use.
Connectivity is not expensive at all in the USA and is very reliable. Our cable, Charter Spectrum, give us 100 MB speed here for out 6 putters (4 of which are laptops), and our 2 cells and the Jet Pack MIFI and our 2 tablets all have hot spots connectivity plus towers and are 4G which is most anywhere in the USA. We travel a lot and serious boat a lot and know.
For satellite system Internet, the only musts are that you can see the area of the proper satellite in the sky and have a receiver, a dish antenna, and be subscribed.
This is what we experience and have.
Canada is not a 3rd world country to us at all, it's just the land and friends in the country to the north of us and yes, very friendly! Our neighbors!
