The only choices in my area for Internet are Bell and Cogeco and I wouldn't use Bell if they paid me. I've tried TekSavvy, but had an awful experience that burned money on a modem and a POTS splitter that made my 1mbps connection 1.1. This time history would not repeat itself.

I signed up for the 30/2/400GB pro cable package on January 11th and had the activation fee waived with a transfer date on January 25th. I decided on purchasing a modem (DCM476) for $99.95 and my first bill was $191.99 prorated. One of the surprises was the activation being ready a day early.

I recommend any jaded Bell/Cogeco/Rogers to make the switch and never look back and my only complaint is that there is no London, Ontario birthplace discount. I know I'm in Burlington, but come on!

Edit: I have updated the review as suggested.

Not with your service but there is an unlimited option

You should have said in your review there is an unlimited option at Start.ca but it just is not with the type internet service/package you picked.
