Been with ca.inter.net in the KW Ontario area for about 3 years. After modem rental and taxes its about $35/month no contract.
In these 3 years i've noticed the service go down for longer periods of time about 1-2 times a year. I've had the modem die on me once before and now its no longer able to log in, so the techs walked me through on how to bridge the modem, and log in via my router. I've heard a lot of great things about Teksavvy, who i actually use for phone service, but have been reluctant to switch over because ca.inter.net has been pretty good overall. Speeds are around 500KB/sec down, and 75KB/s up. Torrents are throttled, but as far as i know most ISPs are, even teksavvy unless you bond.
Tech support help, knowledge, friendly 10/10
Uptime 9/10
Price 9/10
If they cap or longer downtimes, i will move.

I am based in east of Canada, it's ca.inter.net. I started my service two weeks ago. So far so good.
1. Installation: They contacted me during the process, gave me updated. Like problems, dates...
2. Billing: They charge 5M (unlimited) high speed 29.95 + Band B dry loop 7.95 + tax. It's 39.85 per month without contract if you have your own modem. A good price of monthly based.
3. Service stability: So far so good. It can reach my peak line speed. only one disconnection at 4th morning, maybe a network change.
4. Routes: They use Nlayer and montreal Telecom as upstreams service providers, and own BGP4 AS number 32984. Both above are good.
Totally I think it's good so far.
----------------
Update: ca.inter.net(Uniserve now) changed their uplink service provider from Nlayer to tiscali.net, they may want to merge both west and east operations(west Uniserve also use tiscali), at this point, still, I can not tell the difference between tiscali and Nlayer.
I have been with their service for one year, so far so good, they announced 75G cap, but still no deployment for us old customers. Let's wait and see how about the operation change.

everything is good but like I said in my bad point, there stuck with the throttling because of Bell. Good price compared to other providers without a contract. I hate contracts. order went really fine and took 5 days in my case and because of my distance to the CO, I have full speed 5mb.
Uniserve gives zooms (pppoe by default)which are good but you could use other types of modem as well like speedstream or dlink dsl-300g.
sometimes they have timeouts here and there but every ISP has them. Also, there spam seems to be improving a lot lately which is really great if you ask me.
tech support is 24h support btw

I had ca.inter.net (Uniserve) for approximately 11 months before I moved onto another ISP carrier. They had friendly customer service but I didn't find them to be all that knowledgeable when it came to the DSL field. The price was fair and the uptime was good. They would often email a few days before any anticipated outages. One thing I did not like were the disconnects that happened every few hours which required me to cycle my modem. Overall great ISP for Unlimited traffic.

did consider and tried Sympatico, was not great and am not a Bell fan
ordered inter.net max residential at 3MB download and 640K upload for $35 / month, including Zoom modem rental
order and install was smooth, about 4 days
Been on service for 18 months, speed is very good, but am frustrated at intermittent disconnect periods. Is the problem Bell line or Uniserve DSL, is a question i have been looking to answer?
