 "Somewhat pricey and bulky co-ax to back office"
 "Its very adequate for now though I`m always looking for anything better"

I considered a phone line modem but I went with cable. Package is called Extreme 15 advertised at 56.96/mo. + 13 % tax, (Canadian). The order process went quite smoothly and I felt they really wanted my business. The technician arrived a bit late within the time period that they specified ( 5 hr. window ) and was knowledgeable and fairly efficient...90 minutes. Modem Motorola with internet pause/resume feature which I had not previously seen but like a lot. Its still early in the game so I will update if possible in a few months.
Update June 22, '09 The Eastlink `Extreme 15' package which I have been using for six months is running well. Connection reliability has been problem free. I have not needed tech support so I have nothing to report there, so high marks I guess. The company Home Page is there and works well, easy to navigate and I have shopped around on it and used TV listings but no other services. I use igoogle home page. The up and down speeds are listed and since this is not a heavily populated area the speeds on my ASUS P5KOL-CM with intel core2 duo are very adequate for a blogger/surfer such as myself. I`m not a gamer, so I`m no help there.
It`s worth it in the travel expenses I can skip, trips to the bank, Government offices and such, ordering parts from far away for repairs and warranty replacements and keeping in touch with my relatives and advertising in my job, and on and on. I have had one or two mysterious slowdowns, but was unable to diagnose these before they went away. Axell
