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!*

canadian ISPs suck majorly

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.

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

accessv looks great, i'll end my sympatico contract asap to subscribe with this ISP

ahlamalek: do they have a tech. support here at Montreal ?

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?
