Canadian Broadband → Netscape High Speed: Good?

Netscape has released their ADSL service »join.netscape.ca and I wonder if it's worth getting it...

if is aol bandwitch i think is good !

Looks nice i wonder if they have any package with star choice users because i just got my star choice installed today and i heard u get promos with Netscape

It's decent enough. Speeds are fine. I use it as my secondary connection (Rogers Extreme is my primary one).

My VoIP stuff also runs through the Netscape DSL. Haven't experienced any issues yet.

is the high-speed service suppose to be available on the west coast? I typed in my number and it showed up as available, but how is that possible? here in the west, telus only offers 1.5 and 2.5 lines. if this service is truly available, what are the bandwidth limits?

Thanks

jcd0162, how's the speed, pings and traceroutes?

I wonder what that means?

lol, it sounds like they are targetting people not aware of broadband connections yet? I mean, back in the days where we were charged by time connected?

It's just funny.

If netscape use aol network ...
