Interesting... Did you switch to Teksavvy cable? I ask because Teksavvy DSL uses the same exact connection as Bell so your problems would not go away. Billing is another issue. ;)

my net kept going off and on, would cut out each time someone buzzed our apartment and would take sometimes more than ten minutes to come back on
That is due to a poorly designed building telecom unit. I had a similar problem at one time. It cost over $100 to have a separate line hooked up to bypass the building telecom. It should be possible to design apartment telecoms that do not interfere but many predate DSL. OTOH, it should not take 10 minutes to resync. That could be another issue.

Fortunately, I was lucky to have an unlimited account with bell, even though the charges went from $64.35 to $70 and then again to $73.39 less than 6 months. I realize Bell is unhappy about people like myself who played by the rules they initially set up and now enjoy unlimited access...:(

I have never ever received notification from Bell about anytime it's decided to up it's rates...guess I'm not important enough to them, lucky I check my bills in advance, that's the only way I discovered it going up this month

I was quite happy that with my average usage being approximately 160GB/month, however when Bell has upped it's rates, I decided to up my usage, Since they charged me more, I've decided to use more.

As it went up to $70 - my usage went up to 500GB to 1TB

If my calculations are right under the new pay schemes for FIBE and such I would be paying 5x or more than my current bill for my usage.

I guess under the circumstances I'm getting my monies worth.:cool:
