Hi,

My account at Totalnet is about to end and was thinking of getting a
fast connection but keep hearing bad things about Bell and videotron
access. What I hate about videotron cable is the download limit per
month of 6gigs! Does Sympatico have this limit? Is the speed
difference great? Any info or comment on Asdl or Cable would be
apreciated.
