I also have a Rogers portable (not a rocket stick but a WiMax service) for when I am out and about. The Rogers portable is 2mbit down and 256 kbit up. Pretty painful considering that I actually get the advertised 15 Mbit down 1mbit up at home with Shaw.
I have not actually used a DSL service that I was happy with since Cadvision was bought by Telus. You never get anywhere close to the 7mbit advertised speeds. >> >> Cellular service: lived on our cell phones for years now.

I have been using Rogers (same frequency as AT&T so you can get your phone unlocked and then use a Rogers SIM) for 10 years. I am not happy with any data plans. I have a few clients on Bell and they seem to suck the least. I have high hopes for Wind but I will not be holding my breath.
