Hi, I was wondering if everyone in Canada (prefarably in Ontario) could post the ISP they are using. Please include the price and the connection speed (the upstream and the downstream) thanks!

The last time I lived in Ontario I was with Rogers Cable. I was paying roughly $45/month for 1.5 Mbps download and 192 kbps upload.

if you're running a business from home, Bell Sympatico ULTRA DSL is the only way to go. It's like a T1 connection.


from bandwidthplace.com

Your raw speed was 2114402.73 bits per second which is the same as:

Communications

2.1 megabits per second


Storage

258.1 kilobytes per second


1MB file download

4 seconds


Rating

Compared to all connection types worldwide, yours is fantastic



**************************************

I think it's almost $80.00 a month, but it has been 100% reliable, consistant and amazingly fast. About 10x+ faster than my Rogers Cable connection ever used to be at it's peak.

Does it include unlimted data transfer and unlimited connection time?

Unlimited data transfer is almost non-existant anymore. I believe on Rogers offers that (for now anyway).

Even if they offer it they will cap your speed at a certain level.
Reality is no different for ISPs. There is no such thing as unlimited bandwidth, period.

I am really tempted to try Cogent Canada. $1000 CAD a mth for a 100mbps connection.

Would that be the ISP class 100mbps that they sell or the residential?

The one that you can use but not reselling the bandwidth.
