sympatico is hands down -
seriously? do they still have caps on how much bandwidth you can use in a given month? i know when i looked into them years ago they had all kinds of restrictions. something that doens't mind me using a good chunk of upload for torrents and such would be nice too.Originally posted by Pipecrewyou don't know you're wearing a leash if you sit by the peg all day..Comment

If you can get Videotron extreme ... it's like 4x faster then sympatico ultra high speed edition ... not in the same boat . No idea for idea for ontario thought.Originally posted by rayadp05Comment

I don't think they do anymore ... or it have been risen a lot . But their overal support sucks cocks . 95 % of the people that work in support can't even speak proprely any of both official languages.Originally posted by BlackCrayonOriginally posted by rayadp05Comment

is rogers cable any good? i've heard of ppl getting shut down for using too much bandwidth with them in the past. i might go with sympatico because i really have no idea whats available there. the ppl i know there aren't very computer savvy. videotron sounds good but i have my doubts that its available in ontario, tho i will look into it.you don't know you're wearing a leash if you sit by the peg all day..Comment

well i found out that i can only get their basic high speed package where i am moving. shitty. 256k max download, booo. so im considering cable, rogers is one. if its up and down thats no good tho, i need something that is on all the time. is cable bad for going up and down? also need one that doesn't mind me using a lot of uploads (for torrents and uploading movies).you don't know you're wearing a leash if you sit by the peg all day..Comment

Check out http://www.canadianisp.com/
I'm in Ottawa and using Rogers. I get 600kbps down and 100kbps up.
Between the hours of 2-4AM, I've had minor downtimes for less than a few minutes off and on.
There's been no single problems with their 60GB bandwidth cap to date. I've exceeded their bandwidth cap by 2-3 times the given volume and no single complaints or warnings.Comment

I am in Montreal and have stinkpatico. I hate it. If i could go with cable I would. Way faster too. I know a couple of people with Stinkpatico in Ottawa and across Ontario and its the same crap. I would vote against it.. if there was a vote.TengaCash

I have both Rogers Extreme and Sympatico Ultra installed here at home and they are both pretty close (80k/sec upload and 400k /sec download). I am moving to Gatineau next week and I ordered the Videotron Extreme.

If your outside of the downtown area and need highspeed check out http://www.storm.ca they offer highspeed wireless but you need line of sight to the nearest tower.Comment

storm looks cool, i was checking them out before. has anyone heard anything about travel-net? they say they are one of the oldest isps in ottawa. i just need something that will give me dsl and unlimited bandwidth. 60 gigs with rogers should be enough but i don't really know how much i use now. i just know i download a lot of shit.you don't know you're wearing a leash if you sit by the peg all day..Comment
