Re: Start Communications - new TPIA Rogers/Cogeco Their tool breaks... often.  It also won't do a lookup for someone who already has DSL.
When it works it works well, though. |

Re: Start Communications - 25M & 50M DSL Available Well, earlier posts talked about the new DSL qualification tool; I suppose it wouldn't hurt to mention the new DSL plans here in Mega-Thread...
25/10 and 50/10 DSL plans now available on the Start website...
»start.ca/services/highspeed
More info (and promo special) in the Start junior forum also...
»Higher speed DSL packages (and promo)
Aargh... new-page delay, again! I wish DSLR would FIX this bug! |

Bell will do a lookup for somebdoy who has GAS or FTTN-GAS service, it just won't do lookups for Bell customers. In that case, however, you can do the lookup through the Bell customer service portal.
EDIT: Start's lookup doesn't work for me, I also get the Bell host error.

| I got some sort of "Bell Redirect" error on Start's new lookup; I just retried a couple times and it then worked, with the exact same input params! |

Re: Start Communications - 25M & 50M DSL Available If only this came at the beginning of the month. I finally decided to cancel Bell. I signed up with Velcom to replace my DSL service. The reviews for Velcom are not that good, but the price is right, and since I already have cable internet from Start, the DSL is just for the peace of mind of having two alternative connections available to avoid outages. I would have loved to have gone with Start for the DSL, but at the time there was no competitive package available. |

Re: Start Communications - new TPIA Rogers/Cogeco Well..Cogeco just added 100 more gigs to the Ultimate 30 plan. Now Starts plan is 30/200 and Cogeco's is 30/275 ..guess they got tired of people leaving. Sorry...going to stay with Cogeco now. |

But realistically, who will stay up or set their computer so it downloads from 2am to 8am... Just saying |

Why do people have to shit all over something that is given to them. If Ebox did this, I would most certainly do the majority of my downloading in that time period. |

This is a good example of how you can get a lot of bang for your buck. I have a 300GB cap. In practice, the upstream and off-peak bandwidth isn't costing my ISP anything anyhow.

Ah yes Firefox. The browser that acted so ****** up for weeks recently that I had to remove it from my computer. Pretty bad when IE is running better than Firefox and omg I actually also installed Google Chrome when I don't want to be using Google products. It is going to be hard to use that addon you suggested JCohen when I can't get that Firefox browser to behave. |

Based on the amount of free usage every night, quite a few. |

I've had issues with Firefox in the past that I ended up just creating a new Firefox profile and everything was working again, this might be an option for you even if you only use Firefox just for DownThemAll. |

Start is not counting upstream against a users cap. |

Ok already lost with DownThemAll. I went to download a file and saw nothing about setting up a time to download it. If I need to type out all sorts of commands and bs I can't do it. Heck I never even was taught html so bye bye Firefox and bye bye DownThemAll.
Glad I didn't switch yet from my grandfathered 300 GB per month cuz I am not finding a simple solution to download at certain times.
Eh I guess I could set my alarm clock to wake me at 2 am and 8 am n deal with downloads that way if I switch. LOLOLOL |
