Hello Tiny!

 T> various tech's (as like you my address was wrong - in my case missing
 T> apartment number) they told me my FLOOR wasn't supported.

 T> So floors 1-8 and 10-12 are supported, just not floor 9.  The same floor
 T> I had cable internet on for 8 years.  The same floor my neighbour across
 T> the hall from me has ignite on.

THAT is totally weird!  Maybe there was a physical routing  
issue? They are not supposed to cross or passthru an existing  
property whether it is another apartment or another building.

 T> Switched to Bhell fibe.... it works.  $30 more a month.  Even though I pay
 T> for a fast connection downloads are much slower then they were on Fido.

I'm not interested in paying more. The whole "deal" for fibre  
was that I would get 25Mbps unlimited UL and DL for what I am  
now paying for 5Mbps unlimited DL and 1Mbps UL unlimited with  
DSL, which is approx $42/mo and paid in advance for the whole  
year!  June 16 is the end of the current DSL contract, so I am  
compelled to make some kind of decision before they auto-charge  
my credit card for the DSL price.

I think I will just switch to mobile. I don't need streaming,  
and I can get up to 35Mbps for less than what fibre would cost  
me if I subscribe to luckymobile.ca.   No wires, and I can feed  
my network with a ZTE or Netgear, both 4G-capable routers.
