What about TekaSaavy in Mississauga?how is the speed?
I'm with Rogers Right now, I Have Extreme Plus ,I pay $70 monthly and i checked the speed many times in the last a few months and it was always good, but actually its slow or its no difference than the express i had before. And the cap is 125 gig ,still so limited to me.
So i want to go with another Service provider? BUT WHO???????????????

Did not know that. That looks awesome then. Sorta scary having to switch away from something that MAY be better. I'm still a tad undecisive.

That does look awesome for the time it was taken, that's just the 32.95 deal?

I've tried to qualify an address in Guelph N1H that currently has a Rogers' cable modem, but the site only offers DSL. Does anyone have 3web in Guelph N1H? Perhaps 3web pulled the plug on this postal code because of congestion.

True, some locations were locked due to congestion.

I'm looking to get rid of my Bell land line as well as Rogers internet(stupid caps). What is the difference between the internet portion of the 3web
cable(37.95 15/1) and the distributel cable internet?(ultimate bundle 57.40 bundle/which includes Phone). Is there any speed difference as I know that 3 web uses distributel? I am in Ottawa South (K4P)

Yep, I signed up in Guelph 2 months ago and now my postal code only shows DSL on their site

Odd since Guelph seems to be ok so far.. haven't had any speed issues

It all depends on what you are downloading, and how you are downloading it.
54GB in 13hours isn't that bad (I think) 4GB/h ;)

I want to change to this in Windsor as well, yet I share the same concerns as you. Been thinking about it for a month! I would do it but I do not want to pay the installation fee, then cancel due to poor performance.

Well my HTTP is even worse than yours, don't see a reason your NNTP would be worse than mine ;)

After 1.5 months of good 15Mbit/s download speeds - I've hit the same 1.5Mbit/s limit with horrible delays/congestion since Dec.31st.

My Rogers connection is going good and strong @ 10M/768k up without congestion.

The deal in Windsor is $32.95 + 4.95 modem rental. Cogeco supposedly did not allow 3web any different options. 3web sent me exactly same RCA modem that I had with Cogeco. Also no digital phone available, at least at my county address

So, are they not taking anymore sign ups for Mississauga (L5V)? Because when i try to sign up it only gives me the option for DSL.

Also, are the speeds still going up and down here? Thanks.
