Looking for another ISP in Canadian Broadband http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r22621248 en Sat, 28 Nov 2009 05:51:06 EDT Sat, 28 Nov 2009 05:51:06 EDT Re: Looking for another ISP http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22624862 jyeung : 7Mbps for their regular High Speed, if you do the speed boost option you get 10 Mbps. (This is out East in Rogers territory at least).

Best to give them a call if you are interested.

There is still not much visibility on what will really happen in terms of network restructuringm merging or not with existing distributel infrastructure and whether Distributel will have a good relationship with Regoers and Shaw in terms of getting good service for the cable customers.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22622290 Sat, 27 Jun 2009 22:49:22 EDT Re: Looking for another ISP http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22622033 Mike2009 :
said by Eather :

Is 3web/CIA unlimited bandwidth (doesn't say on their site)? And how is their service?
There's been a lot of debate whether or not it's unlimited. Depends who you ask. There have been issues with service over the last year or so. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22622033 Sat, 27 Jun 2009 21:30:20 EDT Re: Looking for another ISP http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22621480 anon : Is 3web/CIA unlimited bandwidth (doesn't say on their site)?

Those ISPs that have their own DSLAMs usually have very limited coverage in COs where they have a large business customer.

A neat ISP that offers personalised service is »www.electronicbox.net , they offer unlimited service. If you are willing to sign your life away and get a 1 year contract, you get $15 off the annual total cost and a free fixed IP.

Note that the CRTC is currently considering a Bell request to chang the tariffs charged to the ISPs which, if aoproved as is, would limit offerings to 60gigs per month and charge about $22.50 extra to go from 60 to 300 gigs.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22621341 Sat, 27 Jun 2009 17:52:39 EDT Re: Looking for another ISP http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22621296 sbrook : You've listed several criteria ...

Cheap
Unlimited
Not DSL via Bell

That really limits your options ... as in you can get 2 out of 3 options.

BUT one important thing that you've omitted is WHERE! Canada's a huge place and by implying that you're in a Bell area, that probably means you're in Ontario or Quebec.

Bell pretty well has DSL wrapped up in most of Ontario and Quebec, although Primus offers its own DSLAMS (everyone uses Bell's wire from CO to the house). Other 3rd party providers in the area use Bell for the backhaul.

CIA/3Web CABLE service offers probably your best shot at cheaper, not Bell ... but they go over Rogers cable network and seem to have some issues related to congestion.

Perhaps others will have some other ideas ... but it's a pretty poor choice with those constraints.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22621296 Sat, 27 Jun 2009 17:41:27 EDT Looking for another ISP http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22621248 anon : I'm looking for an ISP that has cheap internet, with unlimited bandwidth usage and hopefully does NOT use Bell's lines. I can't seem to find any at a good price, anyone know of any?
