I have had it with my ISP.

[KoopaScooper]

Congratulations, Bell, you're the worst ISP in Canada, possibly the world!

My family is promised 5-6 Mb/s download, and .66 Mb/s upload, with a 60GB bandwidth limit. We are not getting what we pay for AT ALL (bandwidth wise.) One of your technicians told me that you'd have this bullstuff fixed by mid September, but there has been scarcely ANY improvement at all with my latency, or download speed. What I do not understand is that my parents are overpaying ($56.90 /month, before taxes) for ABSOLUTE stuff. There are nothing but bad reviews on DSL reports that aren't Bell employees in disguise. Please help me convince my parents that this ISP is horrible and we should switch.















tl;dr I'm tired of Bell's DSL service and my parents are being completely unreasonable that we're overpaying for a horrible service.

Save me please.

Tell them that they are overpaying for their ISP and that those speeds are stuff for what they're paying.

Already tried.
They looked at prices for the same speed elsewhere.
Continued to be with Bell.

Lucky bastard :(

Did you just install a new phone to your house?

No. My family has used the same phones for years, and we only started experiencing this from September 2009 and forward.

Another recent Speedtest:

Telus provides much better service, if you can get them.

[Kalphiter]

$40 per month for 30MBPSd/5u

I'm not computer smart. What is considered an average Upload speed, Download speed, and Ping.

There are only 3 services in my area, and they are, as following:
Bell (current), Cogeco, and TekSavvy (running off of Bell atm, also cheapest.)
I'm screwed unless we switch to Cogeco.

$40 per month for 30MBPSd/5u

What ISP is this?

I'm not computer smart. What is considered an average Upload speed, Download speed, and Ping.

For the price my parents are paying, 14Mb/s Download, 2Mb/s Upload (price from Cogeco) and at least 50 ping.

isps always lie about / twist your rated upload and download speed, you will pretty much never reach it.
