Rifleman Premium join:2004-02-09 p1a Reviews: ·Bell Sympatico	Man-----Bad Speeds and Choppy Connection I moved in with my parents for awhile to watch their house. They have NRTCO internet which topped out at just over 200Kb up and down. I got dad to call and upgrade to their next and only higher tier for 45 a month. Supposed to be 5Mb. Testing shows about 1200Kb down and 600 up. It stalls and starts on the test which obviously hurts the results. I have played around all day and this is as good as it gets? Hard to take after 16Mb pro with cogeco. Anything else I can do to improve the speed? If not I guess sympatico is my only choice here.

Rifleman Premium join:2004-02-09 p1a	Hi---yeah--the area is Petawawa. I think NRTCO is Nexicom. I am getting around 300Kb/s down and 200 up tonight. They are supposed to check things today

Rifleman Premium join:2004-02-09 p1a Reviews: ·Bell Sympatico	reply to Rifleman Well--multiple phone calls, hours of time trying to sort this out only to be told we have to wait for Bell to "check the lines" NRTCO is about to lose a customer. Took 4 minutes for this page to load-----less than dialup speeds. It seems to be much better at night---speeds will reach around 600kilobits down and the same up. During the day it's unusable. It was a week waiting for the upgrade and now 3 days with unusable internet.

Rifleman Premium join:2004-02-09 p1a Reviews: ·Bell Sympatico	Well its been a couple months now and the speeds are maxed out at a little over a megabit down and 400 kilobits up. Was told that's what we can expect to get. At around 50 bucks a month it's not worth it to me. I suck up a lot of bandwidth watching video and such and when others get on it screws their experience up. I am looking at switching to cogeco cable----if only for myself.
