When will the ruling be completed and when will the new pricing be available? I desperately want to get out of Bell and go with Teksavvy cable. |

Alright dude... spill... CRTC CBB ruling expected in the near future, which, it is expected, will substantially lower CBB fees, enabling much better prices and higher speeds from ISPs.

Colba is only the best deal if you forget the fact that they're Colba. And they charge some extra usurious fee for annex M.

Is your phone service TSI's VoIP TekTalk, or it it a regular Bell Landline ?
Gotta factor in the cost of a landline if you have one and want to keep it, such as if you go Cable.
Also, consider the MODEM extortion fee from Bell thru the Indies for VDSL (aka 25Mbps or faster DSL service) - That's $8 to $10 extra per month if you were thinking of having that speed - you DID mention 30 Mbps Cable in your OP.
And yes, IME, Cable installs have less problems on the average, especially if you are inexperienced with modems & routers, as there is no account login for the user to need to program into the router for Cable service, but there IS for DSL.
AND, as someone else said, the DDL (Dreaded DRY LOOP) fee/ripoff/rental, if you need one of those in your plan - except with eBox on some plans. |

It depends where you are. Colba ADSL2+, if you are close to CO's is the best deal when you get 15mb+. Check the coverage map here: »colba.net/map2plus.php?lang=fr
Lowest cost is Teksavvy cable basic 5/1mbps with 300gb for 24.95$/month.
Then go on with Acanac (Distributel) 10.5/1.5 mbps cable unlimited for 39.95$ if paid yearly.
Last is Acanac cable 30/3mbps unlimited for 56.95$/month if paid yearly.
If you need more bandwith, CIK Telecom offers 60/4mbps cable unlimited for 99.99$/month.
If you are in an area where Bell offers FTTH service, might wanna check their Fibe 50/50 symmetrical service now that you can have it with unlimited bandwith. |

You don't have to have the modem shipped if you are in Montreal/Longueuil you can just pick it up in the office and save yourself the $15, so it makes it almost as cheap as Distributel....(cost you about $4 more initially, but you save $12/month) |

Somme changes coming for Videotron TPIA in Quebec? Yes, the CRTC is supposed to be publishing the finalized capacity rates for wholesale cable and DSL shortly and once those are out ISPs will hopefully be able to offer cheaper and/or better plans. |

Videotron will never offer unlimited plans, not in a million years. |

Distributel has the lowest "bill shock" but it's significantly higher than ebox and TSI if you only use 200-300GB/mo.
Acanac: $49.95 Activation + $99.95 Cable Modem + $683.40 ($56.95 * 12 months) = $833.30+tax First bill
TSI: $65 Activation + $10 Shipping + $99 Cable modem + $59.95/mo = $233.95+tx First bill
Ebox: $49.95 Activation + $15 Shipping + $59.95/mo ($49.95/mo + $10/mo rental modem) = $124.90+tx First bill
Distributel: $39 Activation + $71.90/mo ($66.95/mo + $4.95/mo rental modem) = $110.90+tx First bill |

oh, oh. Do my bat senses detect some aggressive pricing coming out soon, depending on what the CRTC rules on in the coming month? |

Agreed loss in my case is negligible i am with ebox in ontario and everything goes to Quebec, but ping loss is minor imo. The reason i say go with ebox DSL is because well no dryloop so easy voip save on phone ebox even offers voip so get net/phone from them and save.

I was with Teksavvy for DSL and then Ebox for cable and I never had an issue with either. You will get a slightly better ping with Ebox as everything with Teksavvy is routed through Toronto but the gain is negligible. Go with whatever rate suits you better |
