This is Acanac territory - I don't expect Distributel is an option. And vice versa in other territories. But it's all the same backbone. As I understand it, it's whomever has the link from Roger's to their backbone - in this case it's Acanac at Roger's Grand Crest Kitchener location - AFAIK.<br>
<br>
Acanac has forums at <a href="https://community.acanac.com/acanac/index.php" target="_blank">https://community.acanac.com/<u></u>acanac/index.php</a>. I suspect the others have their equivalents. No doubt each will have lots of complaints about each of the others. (Usually in the end blaming Rogers - whom, AFAICT, well deserves the blame. Physical connectivity issues, less so administrative ones.)<br>
<br>
They also advertise a 30-day money back guarantee, excluding the activation fee and any modem purchase. (Last I checked, any purchased modem from any of them should be usable on any of the others.) At one point the Thomson was cheaper at Canada Computers. Currently, their Huawei MT130U at $75 is cheaper through them. (Last I looked.)<br>
<br>
Khalid: Be fair (to Acanac). Their front page, <a href="http://ww.acanac.ca/cable.html" target="_blank">http://ww.acanac.ca/cable.html</a><u></u>, shows various rate plans, but to get the best it's an annual fee. I can't find the fine print ('*' reference) to see what the fee is after the first year, but last I looked it's that fee annually - the '*' was a fine print reference to being held hostage to CRTC/Rogers, and any wholesaler fee change would of course have to be passed on. Added during a recent CRTC go around or 3 or 5. I expect the same is true of any provider.<br>
<br>
Looks like the best rate is $43.95/month ($527.40 annual), first year for 35/3, peak 14/1. (They show other goodies too.) Rather cheaper than your other choices.<br>
<br>
Month to month it shows $49.95, 3 months $47.95, 6 $45.95, and as above, 12 $43.95<div class="im"><br>

Researching what is available on the market after I get rid of the land<br>
line, shows the following options:<br>
<br>
1. Distributel, no contract<br>
35/3 mbps unlimited $59.95<br>
<br>
2. Start.ca, no contract<br>
35/3 unlimited $59.95<br>
They offer an upload boast to 35/10 with unlimited for $69.95<br>
They also waive the $50 installation fee if you have active cable now<br>
<br>
3. Teksavvy<br>
35/3 300GB $49.95<br>
35/3 unlimited $79.95<br>
<br>
Acanac<br>
A friend uses them, their service is OK, but require upfront payment for<br>
the whole year, $750. For cable, they bundle VoIP with it for free.<br>
<br>
So, the first two options seem the lowest cost with unlimited cap. Teksavvy<br>
is more well known though.<br>
<br>
Yes, I called Rogers but they don't want to give away an unlimited option<br>
until I am ready to cancel for real, then perhaps they will do it. So this<br>
has to be done later.<br>
<br>
Any other ISPs?<br>
Any experience with the above (good/bad)?<br>
