Sympatico is all about how close you are to the box in your area.I have a SNR of 23 and a Attenuation of 20, which basically means I get the best of what they offer. If you lived further away, then your connection might not have been good.There are really only 2 players here in Toronto, and that is Bell Sympatico and Rogers.Both go at full speed where I live, both are the same price, except there is a 60 GB download cap for both.It's true that they had a lower cap a long time ago but they would let over usage go without any problems, but now they actually enforce it, people have been receiving mails with over usage bills, since Rogers and Bell finally got their bandwidth tracking software working 🙁For long time subscribers though, they give deals like unlimited usage, and they don't charge anything extra, kinda like a thanks for being loyal. They also offer it to random houses to get people to switch 😛But yea, I clear anywhere between 150 GB to 250 GB in any given month, I haven't been downloading as much lately since I am working now, was a lot nicer when I was still in school and had more spare time 😛
