| Re: Lets get the 3web users here yes lets, but if somebody were to actually put a link for 3web in the Canadian ISP heading that would get people to actually see this forum....
anyways, signed up today, so far so good, i havent experienced any 'bad customer service', the guys at 3web have been great, my new modem is comming in the mail on thursday and i have been billed exactly $47.83 which is for the next 3 months, so im not paying again until March, sounds good to me, we'll see just how 'bad' this service is
oh and btw, people that said they were on hold for over an hour, thats not true, I talked to them 3 times today and the longest i had to wait for a rep was like 20 minutes maybe and if u think thats bad, i work with Time Warner internet, with the call volume we get, sometime people can wait upto 2 hours, and it never seises to amaze me that somebody waits that long but people do, because they are used to it | |

@cable.rogers
| Re: Lets get the 3web users here Well I called 3web today also and had to wait 10 minutes before talking to someone. No big deal.
I'm a disgruntled Rogers customer wanting an alternative. The 3web web site states that cable internet is available in the GTA and Ottawa. I called to confirm that their service was available in Markham before I signed up. The guy on the phone firstly didn't know where Markham was, and after I explained that it's part of the GTA he said that cable internet was only available in the West of Canada. After hearing this contradictory information I got cold feet and politely ended the call.
I'll call again on Monday. Hopefully I'll reach a more informed CSR.
If that doesn't pan out it's DSL time. | |

| Re: Lets get the 3web users here No, jath, the CRTC requires that cable companies open their network to other ISPs (not resellers) *if* the ISP requests it. In other words, it may not be economic for 3Web to provide service from Rogers phub in Pefferlaw, but it is at the Bloor phub, so 3web may opt not to provide that service.
If it costs 3web $1000 per month say for the pipe to Pefferlaw (using a Rogers or their own pipe) and they only get 10 customers in Pefferelaw, then it's hardly worth their doing it.
So I reiterate ... 3web's service is NOT available in all of Rogers service areas. | |

| CRTC has some limits on the re-selling of the internet. The cable companies do not have to allow the re-seller into some areas (less then 5000 cable user) until 2008. This is to allow the cable companies to upgrade the rural area (like they will do that). So if you live in a smaller town or Rural area it will not be possible to get 3 web until 2008. So Sbrook was right about not all areas that have Rogers having 3web. | |

Can I use voip with 3web or not? If not, this is one of the worst rules an ISP can put their term and conditions.
I am now using vbuzzer and FWD with my 3 different PAP2s. No 3web rep. yet warned me. If they do, I'll just swich from 3web.

| I strongly believe that is a stupid rule 3web has. It also seems good to choose voip and internet for $40; but not every customer will want that. I am extremely happy vith Vbuzzer voip service. They charge you nothing for know. I have been using their voip service more that 2 months and got a free 416 number. They will start charging something after Dec. 31. We don't know yet but probably they will charge $5 a month. Maybe $7 or $8. I don't know yet.
There is a voip provider that only charges $8 per month for a 416 number. Those amounts are in US dollars.
Anyway... There are many choices I know for voip services. If 3web wants to loose its customers, the rule can stay as it is. After 3 months, I will switch from 3web too.
I hate companies which limits their customers.said by haydamak :ok, is voip the same thing as digital phone ? i donno, maybe thats a stupid question I suggest you to read this link:

Some experiences:
- I did succefully install the Voice Terminal by my self before a Tech came (note: He didn't show up on time).
- 3Web Tech support: almost useless!
I called them several times, always had to wait for at least 30 mins. One time, a tech said he would call me back but he didn't. I sent them several emails, never received a reply.
- The voice quality is not good. (Worst than Skype)
The only thing 3Web good at is the Price.
If you don't know how to install or trouble-shoot internet equipments, you should stay away from 3Web. | |

| Do you know that MSN or Yahoo Messengers are kinds of voip. FWD, is a free voip service that many people use. If 3web doesn't want other voip services to be used with their internet service, it also means you can't use MSN messenger.
Or is it ok to use a voip service through your PC but not a voip adaptor?
There are 120 voip providers only in Canada. There are only around 10 ISPs in Canada. If they all want their voip service be used by their internet connection, what will happen those 120 voip provider?
It is a stupid rule that 3web has. I am glad they don't force it.

so i THINK thats the problem im having
when i put the new modem in i get a rogers website saying Im using an unsported modem yada yada.... obviously i just want the 3 web service to start working
should i call rogers and tell them to cut the service now, or would that just screw up my connection with 3web too since they go through them and an idiot agent could screw me over with the codes.......

Instead of paying $5 a month to 3web, its better to buy a modem. If you need to buy a modem, buy the one that will be usefull for your future (or current) needs. I got a simple cheap modem first. Then I sign up for voip service. So, I needed a router. I bought a router; but now, I am planing to buy a laptop. Now I need a router that can give me a wireless connection.
You see... It is better to buy the best. Buy a modem that is also a wireless router and capable for both DSL and cable internet connection from a store like Futureshop.

Sukru Bey you are giving out bad advice about the all in one stuff.
My set up, dsl modem, router, Dlink ata for primus voip, iaxy ata for my own pbx voip, my computer.
I am going to try out cable internet. In your scenario if I had bought an all in one unit for my dsl connection I would have to replace it all with an all in one unit again to try out cable internet and then if wireless internet service ever arrives I would have to replace the complete unit again. As it is when I set up the cable internet I will just move one cable and change the settings in my router (Linksys WRT54 G wireless router with QOS)
Another reason
My Dlink DVG -1120 ata for primus has QOS and nat and is meant to go between the modem and the router and that is the only setup that the Qos will work. I don't have it set up that way but the point is I can. All in one units limit your networking options and are harder to trouble shoot.
Just my two cents worth.

If you are in Ottawa, you will get exactly the same quality of service of INTERNET. However, that's where it ends.
You have to deal with 3web for any other aspect of service such as tech support, customer support, and billing.
But let me warn you, I've hardly seen anyone who did not have trouble with their billing department. From my experience, they seem to over charge you, if they can, out of your credit card (because it doesn't cost them anything to over charge) and never pay you back even if you ask. If you ask to get it back, they create a "ticket" that never gets processed even after a several months. So, it's up to you. Read the 3web reviews here though. | |

I saw other posts and users in London and Ottawa are using @Sympatico.com server as 3web users... This is pretty disappointing as cybersurf is very unstable.. | |

@sympatico.ca | Re: 3Web DSL in Toronto-NOT same as Sympatico!! Perhaps they are posting from work where the office uses sympatico. In Ottawa and Whitby, 3web is identical to sympatico. | |

3web horrible
@cybersurf.com
| Hmmm, I guess it depends on geography.
In Toronto, my tracert always first goes through cybersurf.com and it is completely different from Sympatico. I'm guessing 3web only uses Bell's phone wires but everything else, such as server and routing is 3web's own, which is below average in terms of performance...:p
But I heard cable internet is EXACTLY the same as Rogers High Speed, including routing. And I expected the same for DSL | |

| Re: 3web calbe any good It will be exactly same as Rogers, including throttling as well as port blocking and routing.
But I don't know if you will get 6mb service as of now, because 3web has recently upgraded the speed, the rumour is that you have to wait undetermined period of time until 3web upgrades you. | |

| Re: 3web calbe any good Late in the night and early in the morning, my bandwidth speed is almost 6mbps (around 5.77mbps, good enough) and U/L is around the advertised of 800kbps. Can't complain now. Tried their newsgroup News NNTP server today news.3web.com but few articles although most the the groups are available. Don't bother to their free subscription but if you want to try, no need for name and password. From the money you saved by not using Rogers will pay for your subscription to a newsgroup hosting company. I use newshosting.com US$14.95 per month unlimited with instant sign-up/access with credit card. | |

| 3web setup cd I was wondering what is on the 3web installation CD kit and if I need it?
I run linux and have my box connected to a linksys router. I figure I should just have to cancel my rogers internet, order 3web cable, install cable modem in place of rogers modem and everything should just work as normal.
BTW, rogers uses smtp.broadband.rogers.com plus a username to send e-mail. Is the same thing required for 3web?
Cheers,
Jens. | |

| 3web cable in Montreal Any idea when it'll be available for all in Montreal? Will they keep the low price or will they match videotron's pricing? Do they usually have any bandwidth cap?
Just wondering, can't wait to get some decent priced cable service where I live. DSL sux in my area and videotron is too expensive pour moi. | |
