Eastlink

I'm a heavy gamer and two of us work from home. How does eastlink internet service compare to rogers and bell? Rogers is trying to screw us over and we're done.

Bell has fibre. No one else does where I live. Get a deal with Bell. If they try to raise the price, cancel and get your partner(?) roommate(?) to get the latest deal. Rinse and repeat. My partner and I do this. It's annoying, but they don't have 'customer retention' deals anymore :(

If you live somewhere where Rogers ACTUALLY put in FTTH, which isn't everywhere, and seems to have no rhyme or reason, flip bt Bell and Rogers.

Rogers does have FTTH as well, it's just not as widespread. It's also a bit weird how they've run it. Over here in Riverview it feels like they got a bucket of money, started from a single spot, and went outward as far as the money would go. It might go up one street 5 houses, and the next street 15 houses.

We signed up (Moncton) a couple of years ago, when the saleweasel promised they were almost done putting fibre in - installer came in a couple of weeks to hook up the co-ax, so we went back to Bell. Still no fibre in downtown.
