https://les.net/products/product_voipdsl.php : $175 setup, $65/mo for 30GB of transfer, up to 7mbit down, 0.6mbit up. A lot more expensive then MTS if you're talking just transfer, but a better deal than them if you want a bit of internet with mostly VoIP.
Shaw doesn't go in many industrial areas due to the low density (AFAIK). So you're paying more because you're in a low-density area, which happens in most markets. The competition is smaller scale, more specialized and more expensive.

So les.net can't do DSL cheaper than MTS?
I want to be clear, we don't want monga d/l or u/l speeds, just something better than pathetic. Even 1.5M up and 5M down would be fine (with 2M up better, etc). Anything more than the useless 500k up they have now.
My customer pays $45/mo now for MTS's only option short of their $100/mo next-best plan. The $100/mo would be fine, but I find that pricey compared to what Shaw gives for $80/mo.
Why do we have to pay double to get a non-pathetic (but still not great) u/l speed? Sigh.
As for Hartmut's point: fine and dandy except when it comes to industrial space (which this is). Nearly every industrial park in town is outside of Shaw's cabling. :-( _______________________________________________ Roundtable mailing list Roundtable@muug.mb.ca http://www.muug.mb.ca/mailman/listinfo/roundtable
