Yet another ''help me for new ISP''

[Lamb]

Hey guys,

I'm looking to break/destroy/annihilate my parent's contract with Videotron (I'm ready to pay 120$ to kill the deal) to change our ISP and here's those I've been eyeing;

High-Speed DSL;
High Speed Internet Access - Residential Service - Distributel

Découvrez le Fournisseur ADSL et Internet par Cable | Radioactif (yes the website is in french, but since we have a kind-of big french community, I'm sure someone can help me with those )

High-Speed Cable;
https://www.cia.com/?wicket:interface=:25:1:::

Here's what I'd like
- 5mbits/sec to 10mbits/sec speed
- Unlimited down/up (or limit higher than 100gb, so I can download all my legit games without having to pay twice due to busting the limit...)
- NO CONTRACT
- No Hell throttling (not that I yar' alot, but I'm guessing it slows the service, so that means preference for cable, unless the DSL ISP have Teksavvy-like options)
- Looking to pay between 25 to 50$ / month

If you know any more that would be available in Repentigny,Qc, say so

Check if Velcom or Teksavvy are available in your area.

Looking at Velcom website, it says they are serving Ontario & Quebec, and since they don't ask for our postal I'm guessing it should cover my area since it's close to Montreal.

EDIT :


Up to 5.0 Mbps Download Speed
Up to 800 Upload Speed
200GB TRAFFIC
40 Email Accounts
Dynamic IP Address
Free Web Hosting 100 MB Personal Web Space
29.95$

Looks good! Just need to add a static IP (2$) for my PC since I'm gaming alot and I'm golden

Teksavvy servs Quebec area too..check them out as well. I'm with Velcom and they're good. Teksavvy although has better support service (but I don't need them heh)

How much I dream videotron will be available here.... I'm stock with only bell as option. I pay for 7 mb and I get only 3mb.. of course the distance....

edit : $ 39.95 for phone and internet. I pay over $ 120 with Bell... will give a call tomorrow for sure. I can even have 2 at that price, since I have 2 line and a dual wan router. the $ 120 of bell is only for 1 line, the other on is on an other bill

Well, my aunt's live @ St-Paul near Joliette, which is closer to Montreal than Chertsey/Rawdon are, and she has crappy internet, must be a pain down there, at least you get nice outdoor movies

Well Velcom tells me the service isn't available in my area so I'd have to look for a cable ISP, tho I can't find one...

EDIT; Dry loop ADSL with Teksavvy would come to 39.05$/month, not too bad, I'll look into it with my parent's this weekend.

After 10 years with rogers, I switched to Teksavvy. Their tech support is top notch.
