There's also another one, I can't find it, someone switched a nook into 1-bit mode and played Angry Birds on it and it was as fast as the first YouTube link above.
It may not be representative of Canada as a whole, but at least it does show that even small towns in the middle of nowhere still get broadband.
I'm on the 2Mbps plan (I dropped the 5Mbps plan a few months ago, typo in my original post) but the provider does offer 2, 5, 8 and I think 10 or 12Mbps depending on your location. Of course, prices go up pretty fast, but even the biggest plan is probably capped around 80-100GiB anyway.
It's already got a shitload of antennas for other things (Wi-Fi, cellular networks, Bluetooth, etc) why couldn't they put antennas for both 4G frequencies, i.e. the fake "4G" for North America and the real 4G for the rest of the World?

The more I think about it, the more I wonder what would be a good DPI for such an application.
We're talking about wallpaper artwork here, not a display right in front of your face to read text. Would 16, 8 or even 4 DPI be enough?
I'm already thinking about the next step: electronic wallpaper.

Okay, so no color yet, but what about the contrast? Is it better than e-ink's Pearl display from the 4th-generation Kindles? And is it faster?

Lifted by a flying car, you say? Now that I can believe!
Well, he did help a Tosk escape from his hunters.
You should listen to what this guy says. People from Alpha Centauri are much more evolved than we are.
