quick question,,, is Bell any good as an ISP? what about people using IKS ? via bell line ? anyone here on ecoustics have Bell as an isp? thanks ....for.....any help.
nalin may be you are right. plymouth i heard they are good but i hate the cap. i need unlimited access. i don't understand how people with IKs (receiver) could ever be happy with isp who offer limited GB ratio. by the way is sympatico still with Bell?
outer limit ...thanks for the info. i read about bell nexia. lot of people uses 3 - 5 pc's in home . diffrent use . online university -movies- torrent exchange-etc. etc. and for family like that 50gb 75gb is nothing . this is the reason i want to make sure i get unlimited access. i kind of like 12Fibe but cap/ putting me off.
Acanac is retailer of Bell Sympatico at $19 per month (prepay 1 year) inc taxes. 4.2 mbps speed is typical in an area where Bel was giving maximum 3 mbps. There is no monthly limit on downloads. All service calls are handled by Bell. Modem is extra - buy from them for about $60 or use your own from other sources.
nalin... since i haven't heard from anyone here who is actually using acanac so i am little curious. ( are you using it ?) they don't have 19$ plan but they have $24.95 /12 month Residential High Speed Internet.5mbps next plan is Business High Speed Internet which is 29.95/12month. 6mbps the thing is let's say you pay upfront 12month and after few days they put you back on below 2mbps or less . because i have dealt with # of isp and only one thing i could say is SCUM.
plymouth really ? 5pc and never above 100gb cap? wowo !! you are not hooked up to your neighbour are you ??? haaaahaaa ( kidding) un sourire
Acanac has been around for at least 6 years or more. They have physical location in Mississauga. They also have web hosting, and are active in USA. They are straightford retailers to Bell. So if Bell cuts the speed then they have no option but to cut. They get service from Bell, i.e. you call Acanac for service and Bell appears at your door next day. They had a $18.95 service - a promo which now has gone to $24.95/month, 1 year advance payment. "Please be aware that not all areas support 5Mps speeds. The closer you are to the CO the faster you will go. If you're not happy with your speed you're more than welcome to take advantage of our 30 day money back guarantee." Their main weakness over Bell is that at weekends, you are forced to send an email for any service - How are you going to send an email if your service is down? Over a period of 4 years my friend has had 5 service calls and 1 at weekend, all attended to in the same way as Ma Bell's service.
