ISP Offers 200 Mbps Residential Service In Vancouver > Novus is, flat out, Awesome!

said by pfak:

Novus offered to let me test their new 200Mbps SOHO service a a week or so ago, unfortunately I don't have 200Mbps NIC's in my firewall, so I had to pass up on the offer.

That being said, they are upgrading all their other tiers as well. The staff are Novus are amazing, esp. their junior network admin.

Got to say, if you can get Novus, you should get it!

To answer some questions:

- Service is symmetrical for all their SOHO tiers.
- There is a cap, but it's counted separate. I have the 60Mbps package (soon to be 100Mbps) and it offers 540GB cap. The cap is counted separate, so you get 540GB transfer quota download, and 540GB transfer quota uploaded.
- The overages are very reasonably priced compared to any other ISP in the province (and even cheaper than most colocation providers in Vancouver) at $0.50/GB.
- No cap on the amount of static IP addresses you can get, I have currently 11 static IP addresses with them.

Novus, flat out rocks. I've been with them since November of 2007 and have had a total of about 30 minutes of outages. Less than 15 seconds this year so far!

Wow, 200 Mbps SYMMETRIC and more than 540GB EACH WAY? That would be the ultimate small/medium business connection. Also, the IP policy is very nice.

Because someone has to pay the bills. Not everything is all you can eat, and I'd rather have a defined ceiling than have to worry about getting cut off at some invisible ceiling.
