Inaccessible, unreliable, unaffordable: The struggle to get internet in rural Canada

Julie Laurin pays $161 per month for her home internet service.

She lives in Bonshaw, P.E.I., a rural community just 30 minutes outside of Charlottetown.

To have high-speed internet at her home, Laurin relies on the only company she found that provides reliable service in her area: Starlink, a United States-based satellite internet provider operated by SpaceX.
