Actually I would not be at all surprised to see some manufacturers actually go that route some day. The tech for wraps is improving every year.

Yeah... It's sad when the highest Internet speed we can purchase at my house is only 12Mbps down and 512Kbps up.

But isn't Canada the opposite of the US, where the rednecks are in the North for Canada but in the South for the US?

I was only getting ~22 Mbps down and 1 Mbps up until about two years ago, I live within walking distance (~30 minutes) to Google headquarters, can cycle to Apples within an hour. Now I'm up to 45/5 Mbps...

Oh and I'll gladly go without home internet over paying Comcast a cent.
