... house, I'm wondering how this affects my options. To those with non-Bell fibre internet, and those who migrated from Bell Fibe to another fibre ISP: What is the installation process (e.g., do they need to run another fibre line)? And what is the hardware situation like (e.g., Bell Home Hub for ...

... it, or if they can fix it but won't. I can see from their community forums that this is basically a Markham-wide issue now. I've been with this ISP for probably around 15 years without issue, so my trust in the ISP has gone from 100 to -1000 within months this year. I've been going through the ...

Hi all, I'm currently with Start.ca but looking to possibly switch to Altima for a $20/mth saving with the same plan (300/30 cable plan). I understand both companies are now owned by Telus, so I'm not sure why the exact same plan is $20/mth cheaper with Altima. Only thing I'm not sure of is if I sho...

My household has been with CarryTel (Cable 150 for $55/month) for quite a few years after a recommendation from a relative, and for a while we had reliably high speeds for what I can tell are one of the lowest prices I can find even today. Still, between the fact that the speeds, while still usually...
