Are you happy with your internets provider?

[. ._]

I just got my Bell Sympatico bill today, and thought it was a bit high. I was drunk one day when they called and signed up for their "total internets awesome package". Now my bills are higher than they've ever been! This was supposed to be some kinda awesome discount package!

WTF?

I really wanna switch to a service that will not ding me for downloading hours of porn and political documentaries.

I want the cheapest internets service possible, dammit!

Help a brotha get some internets on the cheap!

Unfortunately Stinkpatico is the only service I've had any luck with I'm on Rogers now, and I frigging hate it.

You may have better luck with a local place (depending where you are)... if you're in the GTA you may try one of the new co-ops that have sprung up.

Anybody who downloads political documentaries deserves wharever happens to 'em.

Im in the same boat. I dont know who to sign up with but dont go with Rogers since they limit the amount of downloading you can do with bittorrent.

Sympatico is crap ... get your local cable. Cogeco Cable is what I use and its been fantastic service.

Use Shaw if you want your internet crashing every 5 minutes....atleast its consistant.

I haven't had any trouble with Shaw at all. Then again my uncle did before switching back to Telus.

Unfortunately it looks like more and more of the larger ISPs are starting to limit Bittorrent speeds, at least during prime times. Setting your Bittorrent client to use something other than the default ports can help, but there are ways for them to get around this too.

Probably the only provider to still offer a true unlimited package is Teksavvy (DSL reseller). They have been very highly rated and recommended by users. Not to mention being cheaper. They offer a 200GB cap (far above other companies) for $30/mo or true unlimited for $40.

The guys at work were saying Vianet was pretty good. Anyone ever deal with them?

I also googled these guys:

Looks pretty cheap. Anyone know about them?

Good luck with Sympatico, and their accounting department or whatever they call it.
It took me more than 3 months to finally get my account closed with them.

Or maybe I shouldn't have yelled so many time on the phone with them

I've been taking online Hindi language training. They're gonna hear it!

I use videotron now, if you're alone I don't recommend it because, while they are very fast, the basic package is caped at like 20 gig but what I did is me and my landlord switched to the unlimited package for like 65 and split it, upstairs I use the wireless et they use their thing normaly..

PS, I beleive the now unlimited package has been downgraded to 100 gig.. which is still plenty.

Before that I was with AEI internet.. that I liked because while being the same price as BELL, they did'nt have a contract. When I moved here there was no DSL available so I switch with cable. My router their modem it was the best solution for every one.

But I would never go with videotron alone though. no point in dl 1meg/sec if 3 days later you're out

My internets provider zucks majorly oy - itz telus, they are a groping monpoly of with nonexisting bollocks. motivate by pig - beaatchh!

[Dust Devil]

Sasktel is pretty good. No caps but it's only available here. Speeds are respectable and good bundles including t.v even though my t.v comes from the cable provider

[AntiNakedMan]

sasktel kicks ass!
