I don't know what Eastlink has planned for KL. New Liskeard and the tri-towns just got digital for the first time with HD and home phone. That is one very big step up. I can understand where you are coming from, I blame it all on Persona....they did NOTHING outside of Sudbury.

As for Timmins, the upgrades here continue but not much being announced for when things should be up and running totally. Home phone is running in some areas but they are staying tight-lipped. As jimbo42 would say (and I agree somewhat in his definition), it's like a matter of national security or something. We are now connected to Sudbury since we see EastLink ads on A&E and such. Oh yeah....AMC is still not available even though I can watch it on my Hauppauge in clear QAM. How hard is it to add the guide info and to map the channel number to it?

I would be calling EastLink to find out what, if anything, is planned for KL. It could be the next system to get everything.

Just wanting to add that the Kirkland Lake rebuild is expected to be done by end of August 2011.

It's near the end of the story.

The OP was talking about Kirkland Lake, Ontario.

While I understand and can feel for the Halifax subs (believe me, look at some of my posts over the years), all you can do is wait and see what happens at the end of August as was said in another thread. If the CSRs are giving an actual date. it looks pretty good, IMO.

EastLink came to Kirkland Lake a few months back and it's blazing fast internet. I went with just the EastLink Internet 20 package, comes to like $65 a month and I get 2.1-2.3mb down and 90kb up, almost 3x faster than Northern Telephones top tier for cheaper. You can get even higher but then they cap you.

You must mean you get 2.1 MB or 2.3 MB when downloading. I have the Internet 40 and am in the 4.3 MB area. If you are only getting 2 megabits (small m, small b), I'd be calling them.

http://www.speedtest.net will show you if you are close to what you are paying for. The numbers given should be close to what they advertise.
