We have dialup and DSL. I have been using a trimmed version of DSL for about 3 years. Runs at about 10 -25 kBPS (measured, not claimed) and can download 5GB/month at a fixed rate of $50 - your money. As I like music, this used to have some advantages.
We have faster schemes, but they are expensive, and how much porn can you watch?
I went to DSL so I could keep my phone line open while connected. The scheme I am on is about to be canned - I thought it too good to be true and the ISP has woken up to it. Will go for slightly faster and 3GB cap because that's what is the new offer. I find the speed claims irrelevant if you are after text information.

Cheers

Steve

Seriously though, how are net connections there? Are you limited to dial-up?

Up here Cable/DSL is pretty inexpensive (about twice the cost of 56.6 at CAN$20/mo) and gives 1.5 (and in some areas 3.0 mbps, Bell seems to keep upgrading it without our permission) download speeds. For me at least, all this bandwidth is overkill except when it comes time to download the inevitable multi-megabyte Windows Update.
