I'd say it's the same, yeah. I am paying something like 43 dollars a month including tax. I dont really care about the personal webspace or the emails, cuz i dont use them. shaw is a little better att he download speed...4 Mb. other than that i'd say it's the same with my telus adsl.
I never download above the 1Mb speed. not sure why but just rarely download at that speed.
so i am ok with it. if I switch now i'd have to buy the cable modem again. it's another investment
I think you have to buy the modem or you have to pay a monthly fee to rent the modem.
