| I used to have Bell Sympatico's High Speed Edition, but now I've got cable. To be honest, I'm more pleased with my current ISP (Cogeco Cable). |

I got sympatico high speed!!... i love it!... very fast downloads, but uploads are for some reason capped at 30k/s or so
... the fastest download i've seen it a 20 second burst of 311k/s... fukin fast!!!!... but I also tweaked winXP to run better on sympatico. You have to have your own ethernet card... after that, they give you the modem and the software if needed.
friends tell me that cable sux for internet games and multiple downloads.... much the opposite with BSHS |

ya internet gaming!!! icant wait, u get like 40-50 ping, its insane
downloading i think cable is usually better tho, but thats under normal conditions, my cable now is because:
i download at about 1-2k/s
it takes about 30-60 seconds to post on ta...thats soo ty
i cant listen to music streams, like asot/gdjb, even at 32k it bufferes up the ass
no online gaming
and the list goes on...its horrible...HORRIBLE
anyways thanks guys |

| I've had sympatico for the past 2 years and I have no complaints. Since they switched the regular users to the 1.5MBit lines a few months ago things have been even better. My downloads are usually 170-180 kb/s and upload is 30-40 kb/s. I don't download all the time so this is good enough for me. btw, I have a router and 3 machines hooked up to it. |

NICEE!!!
k couple more questions, first, are u guys talking about 'high speed' or 'ultra high speed'?
and anyone get the expressvu combo w high speed? my parents wanna switch the cable and they refuse to let me switch my internet unless i do it same time as tv, so i gotta look that up too now...
so is there a combo? and how much is it, just for basic tv and high speed? |

| Ultra highspeed is NOT worth it. NO way in HELL will I continue to shell out the $60 a month or so for it. Cancelling as of today. Going back to reg highspeed. |

| I had bell and it was with the 5gb up and download limits which sucked ass, so I went to rogers cable and since my parents use rogers cellphones and have rogers digital cable....they got a decent deal. |
