Sorry it hasn't worked out for you Lucas. I signed up about two weeks ago
and requested an activation date of October 15th. My modem and other
accessories were faithfully delivered on the 15th. I had some setup issues
self installing (the ethernet card) which I quickly fixed it after getting
some incorrect info from Bell's tech (by installing the drivers answering
"no" to the prompts to replace older files with newer versions). The Access
Manager was a small pain...it's only initiated when you connect. After
connection, you can leave on 24/7 or disconnect as you wish. There is a
Sympatico HSE specific NG you may want to check out called
"Sympatico.Highspeed" on the Sympatico news server.

Good Luck


Regards

Darryl
