DSL service wanted L5L 5R9

This forum will be answered by companies offering the service?
Currently have DSL with start.ca but wants to move as the speed is way slower than the 10mbps advertised, even during off peak hours.
Got my own DSL modem.
I see companies generally advertise 300-500GB cap, thats OK for me.

The problem with DSL is that your actual speeds depend on your distance from the central office or remote concentrator. If you're too far away then your speed will be compromised. Switching ISPs won't help because they all rely on Bhell's infrastructure.

You might want to call TekSavvy to discuss your situation. They offer both DSL and cable Internet service. It's possible they can offer you better service on cable. Alternatively it's possible there's a newish DSL remote near you and that by upgrading to VDSL service you'll get faster speeds and more reliable service. It's worth the call.
