canadian internet is a load of crap

Post Reply New Topic

anyone think that canadian internet sucks....
choices are bell 5/800 in london, ontario
and rogers 6/0.256mbit 25/2 mbits, 35/3mbits, 45/4mbits, 150/10mbits
btw teksavvy offers the same speeds as rogers and bell and cogeco

start offers 10mbit upload as an addon.
so 25/10 is 25/2 mbits as a upgrade... really downgraded rogers ultimate

this country sucks when it comes to telecommunications
caps, throttling, speed, unlimited internet for 10/30 dollars more (bell,rogers)

my area doesn't have vdsl
vdsl with bell is (5/1, 15/10, 25/10, 50/10) <- mbits of speed

and the ftth is nowhere 175/175 <- bell and 250/250 <- rogers...

plus they don't upgrade older neighborhoods in cities...

screw telecom companies
the same with hydro companies

isp choices for big telecom (bell, rogers, cogeco, shaw, videotron, telus)
bell and telus are phone companies
and rogers, cogeco, videotron and shaw are cable companies

sucks to have slow internet access (adsl) or throttled or shared cable internet

if your country doesn't rank higher than 10th place for upload and download speeds then something is wrong... i'll say go after the ceo's and the shareholder's of these companies.... canadian one's, american one's and australian one's... any other country with slow and outdated infrastructure do the same... remember who has the money...

i'll would mess up their mansions if i knew where they were.

Beats U.S. ISP pricing, basically anything here could be considered a ripoff as a result of our horrendous privacy violations. Everything here is actually nearly as slow in practice.

in the same boat with u guys in america... the crtc is like the fcc... does nothing.... at least you have fios with verizon


no fios with bell/rogers.... the cities are a joke no upgrades and the country is worse.... at least i have cable in a small town.

i would enjoy seeing the hq of rogers burning down.... they are on the nyse... so canadian.. not likely... part of the fortune 2000 companies... global elite run...

Yes, but Verizon does nothing but cherry-pick their markets.

i know that but the mimimum upload is 35 mbits... canada has nothing like that... price might be high... best bet is google fiber hope it expands and crushes all sh***y isp's

In rural America, the choices are often $200/month for 1M satellite or $70/month for 56K dialup.

Satellite comes with significant transfer limits. If you exceed your transfer limit, they throttle you down to 9.6K for the remainder of the month.

I consider myself fortunate that I can get 300K (unlimited transfer) DSL for only $80/month.
