Look for some news to become public around June 6th or 7th. There truly is nothing comparable offered in the market right now...not even close.

Any info on this announcement would be greatly appreciated.

Damn that's badass. For $20 to get 100mbps speeds instead of Acanac's 15, I might have to switch when it comes out.

I thought about Bell's Fibe fibre optics service but it's a huge joke that they still cap their monthly bandwidth limits + throttle with those speeds. It's like someone giving you a Ferrari and saying hey you can only use it in the parking lot...

Well the Beanfield service will only be available in new buildings, in the specified area. And, the bell "Fibe" isn't actually fiber, the new version of ADSL.

Ah ok, they're only putting it in current + new constructions? My building is in the area but 6 years old.

And that doesnt surprise me about Bell, seems like they'd mislead people like that on purpose lol.

Beaconfield starts at $60, no?

Ya sorry I meant for an extra $20 on top of the $40 Acanac 15mbps cable cost...

Yeah fair enough. Still a great deal. If I was at the waterfront I`d be all over this.

We will be looking at other buildings and areas as well. There will be a couple test buildings hooked up probably by the end of the year.

Thanks to Cribby for this thread before Ian and I moved into our new place. We went to Teksaavy. Got the cheapest plan to start with. It's a bit slow at times, so we may switch to one of the faster plans. But so far, I'm glad that there are other options besides Rogers!
