I have had pretty good experience with this part of telus in the past. > > I don't know about Nucleus web hosting.

I do not personally use any ISP hosted services (DNS, Web,Mail, etc...) as this allows me to switch relatively pain free from one ISP to another. Of course the wife is tied to Shaw so they get me in the end :) The real problem I have is that there is no competition. Neither Telus nor Nucleus (or Tech Savvy for that matter) can come close to the performance of the cable modem that I have. I would like to at least try another ISP (heck, I would like to have two or more pipes servicing my house) but none of the DSL or wireless providers here can touch the 15 mbit *real world* performance. 15 mbit is not even the top end of what Shaw can provide. We need to find a way for other ISPs to provide that kind of bandwidth. _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
