Toronto Canada. Rogers was the cable company and their High speed service
was WAVE. I got 768 K down and 128 up for about $30 a month in mid 1997. I
received some free cable teevee services because I was one of the first to
sig up for digitial cable and highspeed internet at same time in Toronto. I
also had a cell phone with the company and my total bills was about $110 to
$120

Service went to 1.5 mb in 1999 when WAVE became part of @home. Remember
them??? Excite(a)home??? the bill went to $40 a month

service went to 3 mb in 2003. 256 up

Service went to 5 mb in 2007. 384 up

Nowadays I live an hour west of Toronto in a small town and they have a
different cableco here. Cogeco. I get 16 mb/sec for a whopping $68 a
month with a 125 gb cap. $1 a gb over cap to a max of $50. Service is very
reliable and very very fast. including HD cable, 2nd digital cable box,
internet and cable phone my bill is $170 a month. pricey but very reliable
and very very very fast.
