As a Canadian, this article sums up pretty well the internet situation in most of the country, even in "urban" areas. Due to the "Canada is different" mentality here, foreign, more efficient companies are forbidden from making business here, leaving the market to a few local operators that have no incentive to make the service any better. This leads to the country being years later in terms of broadband technology compared to other western countries. There is no excuse for that. Canadian tech is always pretty much a crippled version of the same product from the United States at a higher price. Even in hardware, the same MacBook is 1,799.00 $ in the US but 2,399.00 $ in Canada.

Saguache County is in the same situation thanks to it's remote location, but I bet you it'll get fixed far sooner than Canada's nonsense situation in term of internet access. I hope the ambitious infrastructure plan the US has adopted will somewhat cover the installation of better rural internet access.
