Eastlink, which provides high speed internet over cable to the Halifax area, just announced that it now supports download speeds of up to 10 megabits per second. This is awesome, the word used as the subjective rating by Bandwidth Speed Test, which I used to measure the actual speed. My result came in at 5 megabits/second, downloading a 1 meg file in 1.7 seconds. For shared access (how many users in my cable block?) this is pretty darn good.

So Halifax is extraordinarily well-favoured with high-speed internet access: how can we put this to good use?
