I was a cable modem user until I recently went to university in September. I signed up for Bell Canada's ADSL service, and have regretted it since. #1. Bell Sympatico lost my order TWICE #2. It took 4 weeks to get my modem #3. The service requires a patch... or else you can't get online #4. The waits on the phone for service ARE LONG! 40+ mins. #5. Upload speeds are SLOW Now that I finally have ADSL service... it's reliability is non-exsistent. My connection locks up every 5 - 10 minutes for 30 seconds or so. Furthermore, I always though ADSL was a PERMANENT connection... but Sympatico has a stupid access manager. A little bit of advice for everyone wanting to get ADSL... Sure get it... If you want to get screwed over like me ; ) P.S. Until I used ADSL I thought Cable was bad... but now I realize how much better it is. P.S.S. Nothing beats POTS Modems!
