I didn't realize how different it was in Iqaluit!<BR/><BR/>We can buy additional bandwidth too, but they have it set up so it's an option (you have to go online or call) instead of an automatic. I think I prefer it as an option. <BR/><BR/>I've become more "legit" since moving up here. I now buy/rent seasons of TV shows/DVDs instead of pirating them (because I've got no other option haha). <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the additional info, TB!Jackie S.

Y...In Iqaluit you can download TV shows and movies. Yes, it requires patience as one hour TV show can take up to 5 hours or so to download. And at least here the gb limit is different. I have a 10 gb limit. So I could, if I wanted to, download 10 or 20 one hour TV shows a month and be in good shape.<BR/><BR/>They also don't slow down your speeds if you go over your limit...they just charge you more. I believe it is 2 cents a mb, which can obviously add up in a hurry.<BR/><BR/>I realize Iqaluit has that luxury the rest of Nunavut doesn't, but I figured I'd give you the perspective from here.towniebastardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03129158923604362272noreply@blogger.com
