1./ What other options did I consider for broadband ?
Rogers, or Bell since Canada unfortunately has this "DUOPOLY" what choices do Canadians really have ?!
Luckily, I did found one -thankyou ACANAC !!!
2./ What SPEED/package did I order, at what monthly price?
5Mps/ADSL with a DRY-Loop and VOIP service, total monthly cost $37.90
(I only wish I waited for their $18.95/mo 5Mps/DSL package price 
3./ What good or bad experiences most struck me?
ok, HANG ON:
Well, to be honest, for me its important that ALL canadians get a fair shake, Rogers and Bell, and TELUS,... having been "gouge"ing us for some time now -ALL their telecommunications services are MUCH TOO Expensive in Canada.
ok, enough said:
I just wish Bell/Rogers/Telus/... all these Canadian? corporations would get out of the "RETAIL" market and establish themselves as the "wholesale" "source" providers' for all of our network needs. -with a gov't appointed body to keep their
prices to our smaller ISP retailers in line -with no funny business !
And let these smaller hands-on companies like Acanac, Tek-Savy, and many more... flourish and grow in Canada as our "retail" ISP providers.
Hey, WHO KNOWS CANADIAN NETWORKS BETTER THAN CANADIAN IT/TECHS ? - Did you get that "Bell", Rogers'" ?!!!
It would promote healthy competition,..., and bottom-line "LOWER" and "AFFORDABLE" overall monthly rates for all of us, no matter where we are.
So my experience with all this right now is:
Our "CRTC" is still stuck in 1989, and the sooner Canadian-consumers realize all of the the above, then the sooner we will all be paying cheaper rates for our Internet/VOIP/..., needs.
Maybe then, NortelNetworks can finally lay-down Fibre-Optics to every Canadian residence.
And NO, that's not a dream, it's a reality that should have been implemented by now across Canada. ....sooo WAKE UP! and smell your Java, Canada.
respectfully,
Rick.
Ottawa, CANADA.
PS: forget the "...NortelNetworks can finally lay-down Fibre-Optics to every Canadian residence..."
-tragically, and shamefully this probably won't happen by Nortel directly anymore.
