South Korea is pretty high tech.

Technically Canada has a low population density when you divide its
population by the size of the country. However, it is highly
concentrated. Over three quarters of its population lives within 90
miles of the US border. Also see this map of the distribution.

Absolutely.

The services they can get and the cost are far, far different than
what is offered in the lower half of the province.
The farther you get from the border the more remote and rugged it

It is when you get on the fringes of these municipalities and into

10 mbps is basic LAN speed. That's broadband in my book.
