I have been with them for almost three years, and no complaints. They also increased the DL and UPL speed on me just after I signed up, no extra cost. I am also using their supplied at no-extra-cost Norton Internet Security Suite, as well.

I've been using it for almost a year.
Pros: You can take the modem with you; pluck it into any electrical outlet pretty much anywhere in the GTA and you can access the internet.
Cons: A bit slower than high speed internet. You have to connect your computer to the modem with a ethernet cable. Placement of the modem is crucial and finding the right spot can be tricky. Not as reliable as the vanilla high speed internet. I've experenced once or twice a month outages lasting a few minutes to several hours. Fortunately, I can use my neighbour's wireless network as backup.

In summary, if you can put up with the cons, or have a wireless network available as backup, and you want the flexibility of taking wireless internet with you wherever you go, then this baby is for you.

I have had it for two years. It's ok, nothing special. goes down every couple of months for a few hrs. Not that fast. As mentioned in an earlier post placement of antenna is important.
