 "Fast consistent speeds, Unlimited Bandwidth, No Throttling, Local CSR's."
 "Some CSR's don't seem very knowledgeable."
 "For quality & value of service in N.B. choose Aliant!"

I am going on my 5th month of service with Aliant and hardly have a thing to complain about. I continuously get consistent speeds which are actually faster than advertised, about 5420/620 (advertised as "up to" 5000/640. Also, I get unlimited bandwidth and no throttling of BT. I haven't had any issues since the service was activated but before I had to deal with a couple CSR's which were a bit misinformed but other then that it's been great!
I was previously with Rogers on the Express tier and experienced nothing but headaches such as daily disconnects, throttling and of course monthly caps. I am so glad I made the switch to Aliant. Like I mentioned above I am only 5 months in so I will periodically update this review with any changes if they happen but judging from the present I don't think that will be necessary.
*Update* 10/31/2008:
I'm still with Aliant, I now have a value package consisting of home telephone, T.V. & ultra high-speed Internet. As far as internet is concerned (because that was the focus of my initial review) I have never experienced a single moment of downtime, I have never experienced any throttling and there are still no caps. Overall it's been well over a year now and I am satisfied with all Aliant services and plan to never choose Rogers again.
*Update* 5/14/2009:
All is still good in Aliantville however I've learned not too long ago that they have changed their name to none other than...BellAliant. I hope despite the name change that we will get the same quality of service in Atlantic Canada, meaning no caps or throttling unlike their practices in Ontario & Quebec. Actually I do have one minor complaint and that would be for them to finally upgrade their backbone so that they can offer faster speeds to T.V. subscribers since they have all of 14 Mbps total bandwidth available. Oh well they are leaps and bounds above Rogers any day of the week.
