I use Teksavvy to get a 25Mbps VDSL2 link (which is what Bell Fibe uses
in most areas that are not brand new, which would imply fiber to the home,
where as I get fiber to the node down the street).  The cap is 400GB on
my plan which I think I have exceeded once or twice in 5 or so years.

I have read enough horror stories about Sympatico to not want to have
anything to do with their billing department or support.

So unless you want Bell's TV service, I would stick with teksavvy even
if you do want the higher VDSL2 speed Fibe provides.  Teksavvy also
has the option of static IPs and offer IPv6 as well, neither of which
Bell offers.
