I changed my ISP for AEI to Colba.Net about a year ago because of their advertising. ADSL2+ for $360/year. Pretty much unbeatable.
the modem was a bit overpriced but you can avoid shipping if you go to their office.
At first I was connected to the ADSL network, which was standard but it wasn't what I was expecting. I was told to wait one or two months for implementation.
It took nearly 6 months before getting ADSL2+. It was a painful process, I was calling at least twice a month to get answers, which I rarely received.
Eventually, I was connected as a beta tester for the ADSL2+ in the, newly implemented, St. Michel neighborhood.
Since then, it's been marvelous, I get 15-17 Mpbs downloads and 900 kbps uploads.

the first modem they sold me was: »www.versatek.com/products/vxver170p.htm
they, eventually exchange it for a better one (»www.versatek.com/products/cpe-vxver170m.htm)
advice to potential costumers: make sure you get directly ADSL2+ to avoid the hassle, I would definitely ask for a written guarantee. other than that, great price, great speed

| Ha, ha You make me laugh when i read this. You went from literally the slowest dsl internet service provider in the world (AEI) to another one but you couldn't just state this in not so many words. Even dial-up most of the time is faster than AEI's broadband internet. | |
