As with all ISPs YMMV. I had the exact same yet opposite experience
between Bell and Rogers and found Bell to be the least bad. The Bell
fibe network I have now is far superior to anything on cable from
Rogers that I have personal contact with.

In my personal experience, the Bell fibe network is so blazing fast
that when I had recently got it, I hit my cap by downloading XCode
several times thinking that it had not downloaded. That was when I had
fibe 6, and later bumped it to fibe 12 and I am honestly very happy
with Bell, though I must admit I have never had to call support, which
I guess says a lot about the Bell network as well.
