Just curious, how much did you pay for that service? Here: Cox Communications Price: (40$, 50$? USD) Down: Usually around 100kb/s max, 75 average Upload: Usually around 30kb/s max, 20 average Stability: very low, but that's because our house has bad wiring -- Melvin's (when he lived here) was on almost all the time |

(all prices in $CAN/month) Looking at videotron.com, here's what they have: Dialup ($14.95 with cable subscript, $19.95 without) Basic Cable ($30.95): 300kbps, 1GB download, 1GB upload High-Speed ($47.90): 5.1Mbps, 20GB download, 5GB upload Extreme High-Speed ($74.90): 6.5Mbps, unlimited bandwidth And now Sympatico for comparison: Dialup ($22.95 for unlimited) Intermediate ($29.95): 256kbps High Speed ($44.95): 3Mbps, unlimited bandwidth High Speed Ultra ($50.00): 4Mbps, unlimited bandwidth I have Videotron High-Speed here at home, and Extreme High-Speed at my grandparents' (shared in a network) ... Basic Cable seems nowhere as good, even for the lower price Sympatico has gotten faster since I had it (the best I got from them was 1Mbps), but Videotron's High Speed service still seems the best for speed/price unless you use a ton of bandwidth ... although 20GB sure is a lot better than 1GB |

I have an Execulink subscription. I have high speed, rates are the same as those that Acmlm listed. The upload rate for me is 1Mbps with no cap, by the way. | |||

Net was down again for a large part of the weekend... The problem, Taryn, is that I would call Sympatico but if it ends up being a problem on my end, I'm screwed since their maintenance workers are currently on STRIKE, so... |

I'm thinking, since both times the net went down was right around the time the weather wasn't that great... the line probably got wet. | |||

wireless is too slow right now to be a good way to connect people--as for weather contributing to the lines, that sounds like the likely culprit...makes me wonder why phone lines fare better though? | |||

Rained on Tuesday. So yeah. My theory seems to be holding up. If it stays totally sunny all weekend and the connection stays up, I'll know EXACTLY why. Then it's a line issue... |
