The above links to the service I'm currently with. It is advertised as up to 3Mbit/s but in my location I have been able to easily over double that speed and I'm still not convinced that's using it all.
Other than this my only other option was to stay with Bell Sympatico dial-up service which was just terrible. The price of this connection is a little steep but considering the dial-up service was $22/month and this being $47.20/month including taxes I feel it is still within reason as it is, for me, over 100x the speed for just over double the price. If I were to only get the advertised speed I would possibly be more depressed about it but it would still be more than worth it in my opinion.
Another plus point is that the "modem" isn't really a modem. For the service to work a dish, same as a dishnet or expressview dish, is set up and a single ethernet style cable is run into the house and hooked up to a small adapter type device which plugs into your PC/router. The adapter is Motorola branded and does require power but it does not require desk space as it is quite small (the wall plug is bigger than the adapter itself).
I've now had this service for almost 3 months and only had one small incident where the connection died for about 30 minutes but I later found it was only really down for a few minutes and my router was the cause for the longer delay.
