Out here in the sticks (halifax) we have Alliant DSL and Eastlink cable. Eastlink is solid, never bitches about large downloads, and I routinely get over 200k/s to the west coast from here, most time more than that. 99.9% uptime.
Surprisingly every time I call up tech support for whatever reason (hey, it's halifax... we get helluva snows out here, another 40-50cm predicted for sunday even) I invariably get someone on the phone with a genuine CLUE, not some $6.50/hr flunkie reading from a list. That's worth the price of admission right there.
We get it as part of a deal... digi cable box w. tivo, 2 phone lines w. LD calling plan, cable modem for I believe $120 (my wife pays all the bills, but that sounds about right). Beats the pants off the rogers cable stuff I had when I was still living in Maple Ridge in BC.
