              There are tons of resellers

              http://www.canadianisp.com/cgi-bin/ispsearch.cgi?sp=ON

              But I have to stick by Primus because they fuck up the least. They are also the only ones that can avoid caps for the long term because they are a real company.

                  is the business package worth the extra 20 bux a month?

                    Thats OK... Primus is handing out reconfigured Gnet modems that will disconnect you from the router if you open more then 10 in/out connections, so if you want to use kazaa heavily you will need to find an alcatel modem.

                    I got screwed into using Bell when I moved because the primus assclown rep said they don't service my area (but they do).

                    Bell's caps are fucking ridiculous at $7.95 per 100MB over your 1gb up/10gb down limit. Used to be 5GB but I heard they lost about 50,000 subcribers over the summer due to the new cap so they upped it.

                      nope.. biz package is capped at 5GB last i checked.. residential service is uncapped.


                      I switched my long distance and local business line to them too. Bell keeps calling and trying to get me to switch back. That organization is evil to the fucking core.

                          Not sure. The DSL is seperate from the phone service, but Bell may say you have to have local service just to screw you out of money.

                          I was planning on doing the same thing but I hate my cell phone.

                            the phone company here in nova scotia says you have to get a land line to have dsl. some government regulation or something. i don't know if they're bullshitting or what. cuts down on my minutes, but i'd rather pay an extra 10 bux a month on my cell phone than 25sh on a land line.

                              It may be a bullshit CRTC regulation, would not suprise me in the least.
