Need advice from Canadian f-listers
In exactly one month I shall be standing in immigration at the airport
hoping that the embassy was correct that I have all my paperwork (the three
times I called and checked). In other words, it is exactly one month until
my emigration. Yay!
To that end, I need some advice. Specifically advice on my choice of cable
supplier.
It seems like the most cost efficient thing is to have cable, telephone and
Internet (DSL/Cable) bundled from one supplier. However, I know from
experience that not all companies are equal (BT has strangled my torrents
for over two years - thank you). So does anyone have any particular
companies they'd recommend? Advise strongly against? I've heard a lot of bad
things about Rogers over the years, for example: is that justified? And Bell
seems to be getting pounded for strangling some types of Internet traffic,
which I definitely don't want! Has anyone had geniune Bell problems?
I'm going to be in Nova Scotia and I know that I can also get Shaw and
possibly Alliant there - any opinions good or bad? Any others that I should
investigate to see whether they work in my area?
So many things to think about! And obviously my cable - therefore my
Internet - supplier is the most important :-)
