EastLink came to Kirkland Lake a few months back and it's blazing fast internet. I went with just the EastLink Internet 20 package, comes to like $65 a month and I get 2.1-2.3mb down and 90kb up, almost 3x faster than Northern Telephones top tier for cheaper. You can get even higher but then they cap you.

Sorry for the late reply. You're correct, I mixed my small and big b's. I do get 21Mb-23Mb'ish down.

I'm not a fan of how ISPs and even speed test reports in bits and not bytes since most software (such as web browsers or P2P apps) report with the big b. At least it's not as misleading as hard drive manufacturers always reporting in SI but that's a different topic all together.

About 2 months ago I gave them a call to see their status regarding caps. The guy offered to upgrade me to 40 megs uncapped if I got it in a bundle. So I decided to give in and now I'm paying $91.88/mo for the 40 megs uncapped w/ a phone line I will never use. Apparently they started doing this a few months ago. They also changed their webpage recently, it seems they got rid of using the terms 20/40/80/100 and started calling it High Speed Edge, Evolution, Eclipse. It's almost imposible to find anything on their site now and you have to use Google to find all the different plans.
