Final thoughts. Although the Yukon’s population of Canada is not comparable to a country, it does have many similarities to the point of being called “Third World Canada” which is quite embarrassing. By comparison it is clear that a Third World Country cares more about service, providing key features that is the most important (Upload speed and Monthly data usage) where as Northwestel seems to want to discourage Internet usage and limits VOIP calls to the point it is almost unusable. Overall Northwestel is perhaps the most expensive in value.
