Jer Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 I received a message yesterday from Bell Technical Solutions letting me know that hi-speed is finally available through the phone line. I can now join the 21st century. By the end of the week, I should have my start-up package, self-explanatory from there she tells me. I signed up for the 2 Mb/s package at $29.95/month (no contract). Are these speeds realistic? Right now, I'm lucky to get a connection at 44 kb/s so any improvement will be significant I imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douG Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 I get about 1.7 MB/s with Sympatico. Cable is faster at times, but I have no complaints. You will be tickled pink with a connection that's 50 times faster than your dial up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beans Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 About time Bell finally came through...I got tired of waiting (5 years) and went with my cable company a year or so ago... Enjoy the faster speed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jer Posted February 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Cable has never been an option here. Nexicom wireless teased me a couple years back, but my signal wasn't strong enough. My neighbour across the road, up the hill a bit, apparently just got set up with them. This call from Bell really came outta nowhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nancur373 Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 I am with acanac right now. If DSL is available you can get them. Not sure of the MB speed but it's fast. You have to pay for a year upfront. 18.95 plus tax per month for unlimited download. Curt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Governator Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 I got Rogers which is a 7MB line. I get speeds of over 800K/s when downloading from the big servers like microsoft. I also just got a letter from Rogers saying their prices are increasing and my package will be $46.99/month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Urban Fisherman Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 XPlornet Sattelite "high speed" here baby...I get a whopping 600 to 800 kb/s connection, and when I download or upload to much (usually once or twice a day) they crank me down to 28k for an hour to "make it fair for other users".... and for all of this excellent service, I only pay $100.00 a month! :wallbash: Can't get Bell High Speed, or Cable. The Rogers "speed stick" only get's a connection 8 KM down the road, but not at my house. I'm living in an internet dead zone...good thing I need it for work on a daily basis! Had I known it would be this bad I wouldn't have purchased the house. Anyways, congrats, I'm very jealous. cheers, UF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
