Linux-friendly (non-Bell) GTA DSL providers

[asdf]

Hello,

I wanted to find out if any of the following GTA high-speed DSL providers are known
to be Linux/BSD friendly (i.e. Linux/BSD routers work well even though they may not
be officially supported):

   Acanac     http://acanac.ca/
   3Web       http://www.get3web.com/
   Inter.Net  http://www.ca.inter.net/

and also wanted to get recommendations from TLUG members on which (non-Bell) DSL
provider to choose. Is anyone on this list using one of the above ISPs? What's your
experience been like?

I am currently using Rogers cable internet but recently have been experiencing very
bad download and upload speeds and am ready to try DSL! I am looking to avoid Bell
and instead want to try one of the smaller ISPs/providers who seem to be offering
speeds similar to Bell but at cheaper rates.

Never having used DSL before, I also want to find out how well the PPPoE client in
Linux (and for those of you have experience with it, in OpenBSD and in FreeBSD)
works . One of the reasons I've stuck with Rogers cable internet for so long is that
the AccessManager (PPPoE) software was never required and setting up a Linux/BSD
router/firewall was simple and easy.

Thanks!
Regards,


Salman Ahmed
