CIA/3Web Cable internet opinion?
With all the cafufle over Bell throttling everyone and Rogers being up to their usual dickery, I heard allot of talk of people thinking of switching to 3Web cable internet, as they're the only third party cable internet provider available in most places.
I purchased a house in a new neighbourhood and found out I may not have bell phone line access. After inquiries, I found out that this is now allowed since they deregulated phone service 3 years ago. So I'm essentially stuck with a monopoly for my tv (the condo won't allow satelite dishes), internet and phone (Rogers is the only option). I've contacted the councilor of my new ward and expressed my dissapointment that I will not have bell phone lines layed to my house, she seems to be helpful and looking into it, but I don't know what will come of it.
I use my cellphone for most of my calling so I don't care that much about phone service and I was going to conceed to the cable TV and buy the minimum package that gets me HD, as OTA is sparse in Ottawa.
I just refuse to use Rogers for my internet, I hate their business practices in this avenue and everything they stand for, I likewise wouldn't go with bell, but at least you have more options for 3rd party with bell phone lines.
I think I'm stuck with CIA/3Web cable, and as much as I've heard their service is horrible, I think they may be better than Rogers.
I just wanted to hear peoples opinions on CIA/3Web Cable internet? If you signed up with 3Web cable internet, how big of a hastle was it to sign up? Did you already have Rogers cable internet? How big of a haslte is it when you have problems? Are there many problems?
Any answers would be appreciated.
