Nucleus looks like an interesting alternative, especially if you are in Alberta. The good thing about TekSavvy is you have the ear of the CEO, Marc, here on DSLR. I think it speaks volumes that he is being so transparent right now about the copyright trolls.
I signed up with Netflix and realized that DSL is not going to be competitive at the speeds I want, especially with dry loop.
Distributel offers cable. Technically, Nucleus would be the fastest third-party broadband at 50Mb, through DSL if your address supported 25Mb with Telus. All the TPIA providers max out at 25Mb.
