about Wiznet

Just my two cents.

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). 

That's why I am switching to http://www.1staccess.ca  $ 26.99 for 1.5M service + $4 for static ip. And they allow you to run servers. 

Cheers, Luke Hickson

  ...hmmm... I like Arbies better than McDonalds.

  ISP's are also largely a matter of taste/preferences. What's important to
  you? Want webmail, news, etc., and all the other extras that sympatico
  provides? Or do you just need a reliable always-on link to the 'net? Do
  you want unlimited bandwidth transfers within the same peer (great for
  daily backups). Do you want to run servers? Is it a commercial or res
  account?

  Wiznet was a great provider when they were dsl.ca and were just good
  techies with lousy business practices. Since they bought/were
  bought/joined/merged with wiznet it's been downhill all the way
  technologically speaking. The service is now intermittant and it's only
  been in the last couple of weeks that one could actually get to speak to a
  live body instead of leaving endless unanswered messages.

  As a result, I wouldn't recommend them to anyone at this point, but they
  may be improving things. Only time will tell.

  I'm thinking real hard about going over to Ralph's service. Here's my
  thinking: If he's got the nuts to be on this list he's probably pretty
  much confident in the level of service his company provides.
