I'm in Ottawa (Ontario, Canada).  My observation are consistent with Isis',
except that the line is drawn between whose who have been around Usenet/the
Internet for a while and those who haven't.  Ottawa is a fairly well
connected city, so I hear "fak" almost exclusively.  (That's how I've been
saying it for, oh, 15 years.)
