Re: Jst arrived in Toronto, living in an ap. building!
said by AliG  :I heard that I could only get Rogers Cable... Now what about DSL? Can I get it wherever I am? Cuz I will be living in an apartment? Perhaps whoever told you that meant that the only cable provider in the GTA is Rogers. That is true. Assuming that you can get basic phone service in your apartment then yes, you can also get DSL.
There are a few isolated areas in the GTA where Rogers has an exclusive deal on all the wiring in an area. In that case you can only get phone service from them, in which case you have no choice on Internet. Perhaps you can give us the general location of where you will be staying.
Also, where are you coming from (since that may help people put some context in their responses to you)?
I saw DSL TekSavy reviews here were very good.
And I also entered acanac website, and found they were offering DSL internet at $19 per month (5 Mb/s) which is greatly affordable for me (They also reported no capping and no throttling. If you can get basic phone service from Bell then you can get DSL from them or from TekSavvy, Acanac, etc. However, since it is Bell that does the throttling you will be throttled regardless of which DSL provider you use.
TekSavvy charges $30/month for 200GB bandwidth and $40 for unlimited. Those rates are with no contract. There is a $3/month reduction if you prepay for a year.
AFAIK Acanac charges $20/month but I believe you have to contract (and maybe prepay) for one year. I do not know about their capping. Also be sure to compare the ratings of TekSavvy and Acanac and any other ISP you may be considering.
