for dsl go with teksavvy

www.teksavvy.com

u wont find better tech support anywhere. and for 30$ unlimited is a good deal. the only catch is that u better hope u have a good connection and aren't far from a CO.

i suggest u give them a call and see how far u are from a CO by giving them ur address. they'll be able to find out if you might have a good or bad connection.

Can easily get the full 6 megabits on RS with Rogers. Weekends are slower, but that's no doubt due to higher overall traffic.

Rogers is not worse than Bell. Nobody is worse than Bell. Ted Rogers could walk right up to my front door, ring the doorbell, and piss on my shoe, and Bell would still be worse.

Is that the Extreme/Extreme+? The standard connection actually specifies a pipe of 6 Mbps (or 6.5 or something like that).

Rogers support is garbage, but that's true of almost every large company. Bell's support is abominable, even on the business side. Rogers makes you wait 20 minutes to talk to a support rep with an IQ of 65; Bell makes you wait 20 minutes to have your call disconnected.

I found out that my account has a cap of 60GB/month, when the contract clearly stipulates that it's unlimited. They won't enforce unless you're going over 250GB on a consistent basis however, but it's still a shady practice. What ever happened to loyal and trustworthy companies not looking to screw over their own customers

NOOOOOOOOOOOO! I do 60GB in a week Fuck!

Anyone here have the Bell Total Internet service?

I think it depends to if your area has a connection of 9 Mbps. I think the max I can get is 8 Mpbs right now.

i believe it is the fastest internet connection available in ON or canada for residential area, it is not an extreme, just normal connection they provide, more info on http://www.aci.on.ca
rogers i think is about 5mbps

aurora cable only works in aurora/king city area, it's basically a little square of land that they provide connection to
here is the coverage area

Oh, I assumed we were talking about Rogers, not ACI. Maybe ACI offers more bandwidth.

Rogers claims 7 Mbps / 512 Kbps on their site for the "Express", which is the standard. The next is Extreme which is supposedly 8 Mbps / 800 Kbps. And the Extreme Plus is "up to" 18 Mbps / 1 Mbps, whatever that means - it sounds like they think they can deliver it as long as you're not on a crappy old 10 megabit switch.

The Extreme Plus is also $100/month. No thanks. Considering the marginal difference in downstream bandwidth between the Express and Extreme, Extreme seems like a waste of money unless you really need the extra upload.

Anyway, you really can get those speeds from Rogers, just not on Torrents. But torrents are always slow because half of your bandwidth is getting munched by the protocol itself.
