Canadian ISP's
 

Now the Sympatico is putting the 5gb bandwidth transfer per month, and Rogers is going to put a limit in September, what are you guys switching to?

Also, when buying a DSL modem, any particular one to look out for?

Thanks

shit, you guys have electricity?!

Aside from the occasional brown and black outs...the igloos are holding up

ahh i see our .ca friends have harnessed what could be called "ice power"

I use Sympatico for free! My credit card expired seven months ago and all that happens since then is i get an email every 3 days d saying that they will try to bill my creditcard again :) LOL :thumbsup

I'm going to be contacting these guys soon as I move back to T.O. at the end of the month and I'm in the market for more speed then rogers will provide.

Use Sympatico High Speed "PLUS" or Business Plan... 3x faster no bandwitdh ratio

What's the source? Last time I called they told me of no such thing.

Isn't there a 10 GB limit?

Price?

This is just what I heard..

Looks like its $69.95, first two months are 44.95. Thinking of making the change myself.

edit : and yeah, there's a 10gig linit :(

These fuckers are going to make a killing on the overage charges

"Sympatico offer. ++Additional bandwidth is charged at the rate of $7.95/GB"

Been putting your ifriends L/P to work again I see [Labret]
:Graucho

That's why you gota switch.

You sound kinda proud of yourself ... Hmmm

any suggestions?

Maybe we can get a good deal if we get 10 or so webmaster to switch to the same ISP.

Each site you visit is going to count towards a bandwidth quota?
Is this change coming to all of Canada & the US or just a few companies?
I would assume something that drastic would hit the news, but I've yet to hear about it until now.

It's already been added to Sympatico (Canada) if you haven't heard about it, it's probably because it hasn't happend in your area yet (or will not happen). There are still places that allow unlimited bandwidth, but some are capping it at 5gb, 10gb etc.

And I believe it's each site, download, upload, etc. I know Sympatico and Rogers are doing it in Canada.

How much bandwidth would playing a few hours of counter-strike burn?

No clue, where are you located? Better to just switch to unlimited and not worry about it, especially if you have different people using the Internet, which is most often the case.

What about Videotron ???
They have a 40GB limit now - did somebody hear anything???
