| I need a new ISP. I live in Ontario and I'm moving into an apartment. I don't want Rogers or Sympatico because of their caps and/or limits. I want something as fast or faster than cable but as fast or less fast than T1. Any ideas? |

I think you may be SOL on that note...
Just about all of the ISPs are looking at caps.
Unless you want to shell out the clams for a T1 or something like that...:crazy: |

atleast a couple of hundred i believe..
you might wanna look into 3rd party DSL companies if u wanna avoid Sympatico or Rogers caps. There aren't any 3rd party cable provider since Rogers holds a monopoly over that but if there's Sympatico in ur area that generally means that you can find a third party DSL company too. You might be required to buy the DSL modem as well which isn't always bad since it might reduce ur monthly fee. Just hope that you're not located in a DSL blackzone like I am and FORCED onto Rogers along with all other 500+ homes in the area... :[ |

I heard from someone that there is a company that won't be having download limits thats DSL but unless I can get that with something as fast or faster then cable then I might stick with Rogers, hopefully I'll get a good deal of some kind.

that must suck. I can get pretty much anything but my problem is that I'll be living in an apartment so DSL may be the best way or maybe ADSL.
Thanks for the help guys :D,much appreciated and any other help/info people can give me is also appreciated :D. |

| if u live in one of those expensive apartments such the Apex or Cityplace buildings on the Lakefront u can prolly get vDSL which is basically equivalent to a T1 since each apartment complex has itz own central office which is pretty sweet.. ask ur landlord. |

| It's only a small apartment in Streetsville (next to Mississauga) so I dunno how exactly I'd get anything too good. Maybe ADSL which is now the equivelant to Rogers with the speed caps in place. |

So it's faster than cable... before the caps?? |
|
|
| ahlamalek |
its 130K/sec download and about 17k/s upload.
So its not faster than cable... but at that price you can't complain.
Also there's a company called Rocler.com they have a 370K/s down and 70K/up speed at 55$+tx/month DSL |
