Best cable internet option for my budget?

I'm making switch from Videotron, need cable because don't want to pay for dry loop.. Please let me know if I missed anything and what is the best option.

Ok I've narrowed it down to these:

gemstelecom; 8unlimited $39.99 + $49.99installation +(maybe)$60modem

ebox; 15/250gb $44.95 + $99modem + $49.95installation

for phone
gemstelecom; $20 canada unlimited plan
ebox; $24.95 global voip (includes unlimited canada)

Total for both first month:
$170+tx gemstelecom - $60+tx/mnth thereafter
$220+tx ebox - $70+tx/mnth thereafter

Am I missing something? Your thoughts?

For phone you can get much cheaper options than this.

For cable internet there is also acanac and distributel. But the gemstelecom special is a good deal (you also get free install and free modem on 1 year). I thought it was expired however.

What are the cheaper options for phone please.

Also gemstelecom deal expired, I signed up for it so still on the list to get it. Don't want to deal with a contract.

with gemstelecom, the modem is free, all you have to pay is installation.

if you are fine with 8mbs, then ebox also has a 8mbps with 250gb at 37$. Then you only need a docsis2.0 modem, at 75$.

for phone, there is voip.ms and freephoneline that are really cheap. Depends on your calling patterns.

Acanac now offers 8/1 unlimited for 39.95 using Videotron's network.

Wrong, decranez

With 1 year contract with gemstelecom, they give you everything free for startup.
Free install, free modem, free router.
It used to be 39.99$/mo for 12months on 8down/1up/unlimited, but now went upto 49.99/mo for 12months. Freebies are still the same.

he already said he did not want a contract, that's why I specified he would then have to pay for installation.

buying the docsis 3.0 at 99 bucks is a better investment..its needed for speeds higher than 8mb.
