Warning : Videotron Users

starting from the 1st of october , there are going to be transfer limits to ALL THE CUSTOMERS (and not only to those who had a Motorola modem) even if you have a DOCSIS modem (like the samsung). the limit is 6gig in download and 5 gig in upload , if you transfer more than that they will charge you 7,95$+tx for each gig (wether it's download or upload)

that sucks big time because i'm under a 12 months commitment crap and i own the modem

Well I'm glad to see that Sympatico High Speed is no longer the only one with a limit. I'm stuck with 5gb up/5gb down a month.

wtf? u gotta be kidding? cable line as well?!
mother ******s...been facing probs with them since god damn ages...

in a oligopoly situation, clients are always losing...

I would recommend:

ADSL:
http://www.accessv.com/dsl/index.html

AEI: http://www.aei.ca (using Bell network, but still completely indepedant)

Radioactif (using AEI network, even cheaper than AEI): http://www.radioactif.com/HVforfaits.htm *NO 12-months contract!*

aei is a piece of shit these days... ask ZinG

I'm on accessv and its great :P

canadian ISPs suck majorly


Posted by Backlight on Sep-24-2002 17:12:

I use ISTOP. www.istop.com I think they are in most of Ontario and Montreal. It's DSL just like Sympatico @ $30 dollars a month if you own a modem (get one off ebay)

They do have a 15gig limit but I'll never blow that. You can also buy more up front and save $$ if need be.


Posted by fastmp3 on Sep-24-2002 17:26:

and the worst thing is : i can't sell my modem to someone (unless i scam him) because the current promotion of videotron is : free modem on a 12 months contract

their offices are in toronoto they have a thick chinese accent. what do you need tech support anyways??? just plug in the modem, dial and that's it...

i bust 30 gigs per month transfer every month.. But I knew about videotron capping ul for a while now... Solution? net100.ca offers unlimited bandwich plus 3 Mbit speed at only 69$/month.... In California, a similar service (according to a local friend) costs 150 USD>.. so yeah.. moo?


Posted by malek on Sep-25-2002 02:31:

are you hooked with net100 ? how's the connection? max speeds down/up ?


Posted by ed on Sep-25-2002 13:55:

primus dsl here. no probs

is it just me, or this thread is redundant


Posted by fastmp3 on Sep-25-2002 14:59:

what do you mean sylphin ? can you tell us more about telus dsl ?


Posted by k.k.d. on Sep-25-2002 15:35:

I'm not hooked with it yet, but I'm strongly considering it... and I mean STRONGLY (it's the best for the price, on paper...)


Posted by malek on Sep-25-2002 17:19:

primus is alright except the fat rate of 45$+tx a month... ( normal rate)

and how do you know for sure net100 is good? on paper it always look good


Posted by discojoe on Sep-25-2002 20:44:

http://www.canadianisp.com <-- find everything about potential videotron replacements here...


Posted by SpoutnicK on Sep-26-2002 02:10:

conclusion guys....????


WHAT DO YOU RECOMEND????


Posted by delstar on Sep-26-2002 02:55:

first of all the cap has been under effect for longer than 18 months with the motorola modem...u can ask my friend's bro who has been bills of over 100 bux a month due to his 100gb downloads every month...

he bought the samsung modem to avoid this and they have been tracking certain parts of the network for the past 3 months...and thats the reason some of you havent heard of this til now....

if anyone has a modded x-box (like me) this sux because halo for example was 3.8 gigs...

Access V all the way for me. Not expensive, seems to give a great DSL service.
