Question Any good internet suppliers

Hey guys,


I used to have Rogers and they are good and then I went to Bell Symp. and that super sucks **** and will never go back again.

I have heard of some other DSL etc... Anyone know anything or just post what you have and if you like it or not.

I am stuck with the company computer right now, cause the one at home has no internet connection.



Thanks

all DSL companies use the same network to get into your house and bell controls most of those wires still .... so it's more of a reselling service ...

go back to rogers for high speed. sympatico has put an a cap of 5 GB per month on it and after that you pay extra

For home use, I believe Rogers is good enough. But if you are on budget, you can always try AOL...

I use Rogers at home and haven't had any big problems. I tried switching to DSL at home, but my house is too far away from the Bell CO, which made surfing really slow. We use Bell DSL at the shop, and it's really fast. It's actually more stable than my Rogers.

44.95 for the first 3 months on Bell 3.0mb DSL and it works well.

**.99 thereafter.

on my buddy's computer downloading files from kazaa, had two movies goin at 180k/sec plus a few songs at 90k/s.

right now I use AEI DSL--I am cancelling. AEI is ****.

If you are gonna use no name, use Echo or Look.

Stick to rogers hi speed or Bell 3meg HIGH speed.

You can get dial up for free man, just use those no name internet providers that are free, or pick up those AOL cds and when the 3 months or w/e runs out, get another one

I got Bell Sympatico 10mbps, a month I pay $29.99

It's pretty good for what I need to do on Internet.
