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. |

Gems-telecom; 8 Unlimited $49.99 + $49.99 installation ( Free with 1 Year Contract ) + (Free) Modem + Wireless Router |

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. |
