<DIV>Just my two cents.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I found that same experience with wiznet - actually DSL.ca went bankrupt
and Wiznet bought up the assets. This was told to me directly by an employee of
wiznet. Their service is degrading and has since the takeover. (disconnections,
poor customer service). </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>That’s why I am switching to <A
href="http://www.1staccess.ca">http://www.1staccess.ca</A> $ 26.99 for
1.5M service + $4 for static ip. And they allow you to run servers. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Cheers, Luke Hickson</DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV><BR>> Because of the prolonged problem with their mail relay
we are planing to<BR>> switch over to a different service provider. I just
came across the<BR>> Wiznet, some thing that I have never heard of. Does
any one have any<BR>> experience with them? Which high speed provider is
the best in Toronto?<BR><BR>...hmmm... I like Arbies better than
McDonalds.<BR><BR>ISP's are also largely a matter of taste/preferences. What's
important to<BR>you? Want webmail, news, etc., and all the other extras that
sympatico<BR>provides? Or do you just need a reliable always-on link to the
'net? Do<BR>you want unlimited bandwidth transfers within the same peer (great
for<BR>daily backups). Do you want to run servers? Is it a commercial or
res<BR>account?<BR><BR>Wiznet was a great provider when they were dsl.ca and
were just good<BR>techies with lousy business practices. Since they
bought/were<BR>bought/joined/merged with wiznet it's been downhill all the
way<BR>technologically speaking. The service is now intermittant and it's
only<BR>been in the last couple of weeks that one could actually get to speak
to a<BR>live body instead of leaving endless unanswered messages.<BR><BR>As a
result, I wouldn't recommend them to anyone at this point, but they<BR>may be
improving things. Only time will tell.<BR><BR>I'm thinking real hard about
going over to Ralph's service. Here's my<BR>thinking: If he's got the nuts to
be on this list he's probably pretty<BR>much confident in the level of service
his company provides.<BR><BR>-- <BR>Keith Mastin<BR>BeechTree Information
