That price sounds too good to be true.

Anyone have any personal experiences?

Now if you have a problem connecting on the internet, how are you gonna email them for support??

$9.95 per call for phone support seems quite steep to me especially when you will probably have to hang up the phone check to see if what they tell you works and then call them again if it doesn't work.

AT&T Worldnet in the US has a couple price plans (cheaper than the regular, 'premium' plans) that include only free online support. Tech support calls cost $17USD per issue, though they do not charge for the same issue within 48 hours, and generally refund if the problem is on their end. So if you think $10 sucks.. hopefully they have similar policies. That being said, you're still saving money if you only need tech once or twice a year. You do get what you pay for.

I'd rather go for Shaw's lite speed. if i went unlimited on a phone line, i would need to pay like $21 for the extra phone line.. + this 9.95 is more than $30. Lite speed is only $25.

[siriuskao]

Isn't 3web about $9 per month too? good connections........

[gosamburu]

this is OT, but i was looking up roger's help site for something and noticed that they upped lite to $30 for new customers.... still $25 for existing customers before feb 1.

[Taiphun]

If it sounds too good to be true.....

[blainehamilton]

Saw an ad for these guys in the computer paper.

Not bad as they seem to have a pretty good base of numbers set up.

I would call the number a few times during peak hours. I you start getting busy signals, stay away.


If not, give it a shot, just don't sign a contact for service in advance.

No telling how long they will be around.

[Kerlo]

I have 3Web and it's 10.65/mo including taxes and the help you get through e-mail is really good. But if you want to have live tech support it'll cost extra. they have a plan that costs 14.95/mo that includes live tech.

It's good if you don't use the internet much because they have an Agent that searches for internet abusers and disconnects them . . .

they serve all of canada but it's based out of calgary . . .

Unlimited is good if you can log on and stay logged on. I would ask around for how stable their service is before I sign up. Typical ISP has 1 modem per 20 accounts. As a discount ISP they might be 1:40 or worst. Bottom line is you probably get what you paid for.

[itsmypostoffice]

there was a time when my only internet access was free "banner ad" subsidied companies. bluelight, 3web...the list goes on and on. funny thing, i remember receiving better connections when it was free than after they switched to the pay model. you get what you paid for so -- $10[thrift] VS. $24[lite] VS. $35[dsl]: at least there's variety and choice --

[inet]

You can always find a way to disable the ads, but that's cheating.

[Quick_lude]

This company is owned by Look Communications. I should know. :wink:

[Action Jackson]

Always read the Terms of Service [TOS].

I remember looking around for an ISP and some of the "unllimited" ones [I think Maya is one] states that during peak hours, the user is capped at 1 or 2 hours max, then disconnected. They are free to reconnect again.

What BS.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>really?

Been disabling the ads and been able to stay on with Juno for endless amounts of time with Juno. (now netzero)


My record is 86 hours when I went to the lake for long weekend. Downloaded 4GB of warez from Kazaa. AT 56K!

Heh heh.

[advantage21]

Boardband is still the cheapest bang for the buck in Canada. Get it if you can, because it will eventually becomes like the US, where you'll pay literally twice as much for half the speed, and strictly enforced bandwidth limits. Enjoy it while you can.

I've had 3Web dial-up for over a year with no complaints.
Great value service for GTA

[tasamy]

I went into a bad experience with 3web. I signed for the 3web services with modem rental plan. I encouraged eight of my friends to join and they referred me. 3web sent me a non provioning modem that can not be connected to Shaw Network. I went into troubles for three months lost many hours for waiting for Shaw technical support service who said they can not help and waiting on the phone for at least 1/2-1 hour each call to 3web. After three months, they said they can not do anything and I should return back the modem to them. I lost more than $500 from my work time and did not get anything even my registration ($40) fees for three months of internet. I sent them two emails and they did not respond. I phoned them waiting for 45 min at least and at the end they will ask you to leave your phone number and no reply.




Isn't 3web about $9 per month too? good connections........

[Daijoubu]

wtf, you bumped an 2 years old thread!
I was like how on earth 9.95 can be a good deal :lol:

Those who are using dialup may want to look up http://295.ca

[callous]

J.C. I cant believe I've just spent 5 mins looking at a 2 year old thread.

Quit bumping up an ancient thread pls.

[nickia]

who would use dial up these days :lol:
