| Best for my area?
I live in the Timmins area and I currently have Persona internet. Now lately their speeds have been so horrible lately I decided to finally call in and they said they were upgrading which was causing the slowdown.
I was wondering if Bell was the best way to go? I just want something with constant speeds with not much slowdown at all. |

I would not go bell for DSL if its avail to you. I would take a look at other ips/ which will provide better tech support if you need it and it would cost less then bell and be the same speed.
Dont think that just because bell is a big company and has the $$ for the tv ads that its better, in fact right now its pretty bad and keeps on getting worse. |

Well there isn't much for my location. Persona seems to only be good after 1am and slows down A LOT around 6pm. Almost as slow as 56k speeds, it's really bad right now. |

"Persona" is cable? Are there any other options? As bryanviper suggests, BS is really bad. Have you checked to see if TS services your area? |

Unfortunately, as Snickerdo mentioned, Timmins appears to be Northern Telephone territory, so DSL over the Bell network is not available there.
