Bell is the Biggest POS I've ever heard.

1.  They screw up my payments all the time.  I had to call them on 5 separate occasions to correct my bill.

2.  Modem Rental.  Biggest POS Idea.  I told the rep, you either let me buy out the modem and charge me the reduced rate, or I cancel my account.  Now they just give me a credit (to which they screw up once in a while).

3.  Bell Expressvu, outages happen all the time.  It rarely works.  I keep telling my dad, "What's better, watching a black TV, constantly fixing a s***ty dish to get crap reception, or telling Bell to F*** off and getting cable.

When I get my new place, its probably gonna be Cogeco cable internet and VOIP.  I'll get my TV fixes from Shareaza, The Pirate Bay and Youtube.

GOD BLESS YOUTUBE! B)

If u want DSL... There are some good alternatives to Bellus. Rogers (the former Sprint/Callnet) has DSL but its limited availability. I'd probaly recommend for you to go with Ontario DSL, 3mbits for under $30 bux taxes incl. they even offer dry loop. they never gave me a problem, even when I told then I was cancelling with them on good terms cus I'm switching to the Rogers Employee internet rates.

uses the same dslam as bell, but not the nexxia backbone... so your pings and other factors are different, i never had any downtime in the 2 years i was with them, the only problem was I was still using the sh*tty bell provided dsl modem, once i switched it to a speed stream and ran over the bell modem with my car, had no more problems
