i keep hearing good things about distributel. i might switch to them.
i have a piece of crap cimputer, so i dont know if it plays a role on how fast this goes. but not impressed with videotron (for what i pay)

(i dont know why the server says longueuil when im montreal)

Thats the server you connect to. Your down is low, but that is pretty good upload, which is very important.

Turns out I might have to go with Rogers or Bell after all - I was going to use my rabbit ears for TV (I was getting 15 channels, 14 of them in HD), but at the new place - ground-floor apartment on Richmond between Bayshore and Pinecrest) I receive precisely zero channels. So if I want any teevee at all, I'm gonna have to pay for it, and I might as well bundle it with my internet. Not pleased about that at all.

Can you set up an out door antenna?

I use a 4-Bay Channel Master antenna in my backyard and have had great success getting channels, when Rabbit ears have not worked.
