A few days ago I introduced myself and mentioned I will be moving to TO in September. I just signed a lease for an apartment on Euclid & College. All utilities are included... except internet. Honestly, I didn't expect it would be, but this leaves me in a bit of a dead zone: I am from Michigan, and so I have no idea who to buy internet access from in Toronto, and how much I should expect to pay here. I have already heard horror stories about cell phone plans in Canada, so I'm prepared for the worst. (It looks like the girlfriend and I will share a Fido contract for wireless.)
So...
Torontonians who use an internet forum to discuss things, what service provider do you use for access? Better yet, what should I use?
Coming from Wisconsin (last summer), I can assure you that you will pay more. Much more. I have Bell Sympatico here. I had the same level of service in Wisconsin (via SBC) for
less than half the price. And the customer service actually worked there.
Just get really accustomed to paying way more for way less and you'll be fine.
