For anyone interested in seeing how Canadian internet stacks up to the rest of the world, this is a highly informative site. It doesn't look good when its only us and Australia that are the only countries that don't offer any sort of unlimited internet.... in 2009.

Stanley Pain posted:My MP is Peter Kent, totes the company line pretty hard core. I've sent him a bunch of my concerns and the responses I get back are pretty much what you'd expect for someone toting the company line. I know it may be a futile effort, but I'm still planning to write a letter to him this week, and a good friend of mine is going to try calling him on the phone. In the odd chance he actually reads what I write about this, I hope my two main arguments of the ruling being anti-competitive, and how this will further set Canada back in terms of quality internet being available will appeal to him. Don't be discouraged, apathy is perhaps what got us all into this situation in the first place.

kuddles posted:And as a surprise to nobody, the National Post editorial team is taking the stance that this will effect nobody, that we're all a bunch of whiners, and that Bell is only charging what it needs to in order to survive, as determined through their heavy research of asking a Bell spokesperson about it. Also saw coverage of this issue on Global for the first time tonight, its becoming too big for even a news outlet owned by Shaw to ignore.

univbee posted:You mean like in Japan with its population five times Canada's where 160 megabit internet for $60 is the norm? No, although in fairness I'm not sure what constitutes normal use over there (freeish* digital over-the-air TV is available everywhere, no one games on PC, virtually all Japanese PC games are retail packages only, their rental stores are basically heaven so you really don't need to download a movie illegally, and even if you could good luck finding Japanese subtitles for it); I think in Japan they just innovated everything else so the internet was less of a priority.

Nomenklatura posted:VERY disappointed with Paikin in that interview. He routinely gave Bibic a chance to respond to Burger without providing the same opportunities in turn, he gave too much time to James Cowen, who was absolute dead weight, and he jumped all over Burger's comments about bandwidth costs while letting Bibic's absolute horseshit over the Quebec/Ontario thing slide. It really feels like Paikin was in Bell's camp there, which is rather surprising considering how sharp a guy he is.

Shouldn't that be considered anti-competitive behaviour, purposely giving poor service and large fees to customers on an ISP that has every right to use Bell's infrastructure? Not that the CRTC or Bell particularly care about that type of fairness...

If anything, the Conservative crime legislation which is almost certainly going to include internet surveillance is more worrying than UBB. They've tried it before, and before the election Harper said he'd try to pass this in the first 100 days of parliament if he got a majority.

Donating to technical schools and major universities, some of that money is going to basically come back to them since some of their graduates would go work for the big three. Interesting blend between a charitable donation and a small investment.

Has anyone transferred from another ISP to start.ca? How smooth was the transition, and how has start's service been? I'm looking to finally ditch a craptastic and antiquated plan from Rogers.

I'm looking at signing up with Coextro for a 150 Mbps cable plan since they seem to offer the best bang for the buck in my area, is there any reason to avoid them? Also, is it worth it to purchase my own modem instead of using whatever they provide?
