I no longer consider Bell Sympatico to be a great service. Due to the outsourcing of customer service, Traffic Management (shaping), and unreasonable and non-competitive rates - as soon as my contract is complete, I will be searching for another DSL provider. Traffic Shaping of BT (BitTorrent) and P2P application is showing that they have a power complex. The re-implementation of data caps 60 GB/month is ridiculous in an Internet society where video and multimedia are the future.
On the technical side, however, the service uptime is very good - I have only been down during power-outages. That is simply because I do not have a battery backup on my modem!
My opinion - consider another DSL provider until Bell Sympatico comes to their senses.
Contract Info:
Modem fee waived (2.00)
Additional fee waived (8.00)
