never heard of it. But if it is Bell I will pass. They literally stole over $300 from my bank account and refuse to refund me.


(They billed me 10x for one month of service of home phone line and I had them on direct deposit so the bill was withdrawn directly from my bank account. Even when I saw the bill and told them they said they didn't know anything about it and would not offer refunds.)

heres a canada broadband forum:

Canadian Broadband forum - dslreports.com broadband community

I see:

Odynet Inc - 100gb limit a month
Electronic Box - 30gb limit on cable, unlimited on dsl
Tamco Technologies of Canada Ltd. - no cap
ZiD Internet div ZYMOS,inc. - no cap, looks like good specials.
MegaStream Internet - no caps

i should mention these are for Peterborough, Ontario (which is closest i guess), since your city isnt in my list.

while im looking, whats dry dsl, and how is it different from regular dsl? does it mean you dont have phone service thru them?

[Takedown3]

can't get any kind of dsl out here i'm in a village of 500 people in an area sounded by lakes and bedrock

my options are some sort of wireless or satellite or of course dial up

You got it. Dry doesn't have telephone service with it.

thanks for the effort tho

I have Rogers portable internet in Caledon. Pretty much the same as Bell. Best choice for internet I have out here, and switching from satellite, it was amazing. Only issue is 30 gb/month bandwidth. Really sad that 2mbps is the fastest internet here

My family gets to live off 20gb up, and 20gb down (they're not shared) a month on 3mbit wireless, really hard not to go over, at least my ISP only charges $1 per gb overage.
(and it's running us around $60 a month with hardware included. RipNet is the only ISP capable of offering us highspeed where we live, so there's no options)

Friend of mine near Toronto is running Cogeco's business line which is running him $100'ish a month which nets him 100gb on a 16mbit (iirc) cable connection.

ISPs really do suck out here, about as bad as cell phones up here compared to the States. ;/
