As an EB customer for 2 years, I've been very satified with their network. The main complain I have is about their price and that they do not have usenet servers. |

Cogeco does not service ANY part of Montreal at all. The only cable provider are Vidéotron and VDN in small area. Idon't know what service you had then but it was NOT cogeco since it's no where near Montreal. |

Im new to ACANAC and so far im satisfied by the speed. However it seems to disconnected fairly often and the torrent are a bit slow too. So ive tried to set up a static IP and to foward a port but it no help. My experience with setting up router is limited however. |

AboutVIF
@streamtheworld.com | said by more :
vif VIF = Fast if you stay under 50 GB per 15 days.
An automatic "SoftCap" (trust me, it's slow when under this SoftCap) is enabled if your past 15 days give a total above 50 GB. |

Montreal, QC | Why go for Vif when it costs the same as all the other ISPs, and you get more bandwidth from the other ISPs? |

I'm going to switch to the VDN 10Mbit service. I live right next to atwater metro so i believe i can get their service |

yeah and
@videotron.ca
| reply to petehermas
Yes VDN is an option in some parts of Montreal/Vill-Marie/Alexis-Neon area (maybe more).
I heard you have to take their TV in order to get their fiber internet. Not sure about this though.. If you get it let us know.
I recall a couple of non-throttle ISP's in Montreal on this list: »Re: ISP's that don't throttle and have their own equipment. LIST
If you spot one that interests you, best to ask about them in this topic.
Also, the topic of this discussion says "Best ISP in Montreal?" best does not equal less expensive.
Probably the BEST in quality and speed in Montreal is videotron's 1-year contract on unlimited unthrottled internet for under 70$/month. You have to pay about 45$ to get a business number from the gov though in order to qualify. Since videotron will ask you for a business number. |

$58.45 for 100GB cap? No thanks. The speed isn't bad for the price, but the cap is a deal killer.
It's a bit cheaper than Videotron's 10mbit service with the same cap ($64.90), though. It's not a bad offering, just the bandwidth isn't great.
videotronguy: They list prices for with/without TV service, so I'm pretty sure they offer it without. |
|
oh ok
@videotron.ca
| said by Guspaz :videotronguy: They list prices for with/without TV service, so I'm pretty sure they offer it without. ah ok, thanks. I wasn't sure because someone else mentioned in another topic that they called and they had to get both services.
So hmmm.
So they will sell it alone for sure? |

says that you can get 10/1 STANDALONE. Im sure i will be getting the tv too lmao. I live literally a block away from alexis neon.
I think i will get more than 10/1 though (maybe 10/2-3). since im so damn close to their datacenter thingy. |

If it really is fibre to the home, and depending on the particular tech they're using, distance shouldn't matter so much. |

| I have a few Swedish friends and they all have 10/10 from BBB. One of them lives close to the data center and he gets ~70/70 whilst the 2 others are not so close and they get 10/10.
I'm just worried about the 100GB cap.  |

Good Evening my friend and all..
So, are you always as satisfied as you were when you post your exiting new service xperience with Acanac?
I read your review »Review of Acanac by core2extreme
I'ts been 2 weeks since your review...Still running...running...running...?
For many reasons,I still haven't switch ISP yet.
Hope everything is still fine.
See You
