Re: Need Help Picking ISP

also, out of that isp list in that post a few interest me:

1. mnsi, Videotron and Primus.

2. but I do have bell homephone lines.. so i guess that renders all those options above ruled out.

3. I guess cable is my only choice? one with a conciderate amount of a cap (or none if thats possible :P)

4. Is tecsavvy any good? or would that fall into the throttled isp because i use bell land lines?

1. Videotron is in Toronto, but they have nothing for residential, so this one is off your list.

Primus is a great choice! Their pricing on tv, phone and internet bundles are a very nice cost savings also. But they are having very big latency (ping) problems. Many here complained about it. So you should avoid Primus till they find and fix the problems they have. Not a wise move, unless you are looking at the bundle savings and just browse the web.

Mnsi would probably be my move if they have their own equipment in your area. No complaints here about them.

2. Doesn't matter who you have for phone. That can always be changed and the price can be significantly less than what you are currently paying now to Bell.

3. Don't know. Call the cable companies in your area and ask what the limits are for the different packages. Rogers throttles of course.

4. Yeah teksavvy is good. Yes they are throttled because they use Bell's equipment (its nothing to do with using Bell phone or Bell lines). However, Teksavvy has a throttle work-around to by-pass the throttle that works for now...
