Connected with wireless unidirectional connection from Febuary 1999 to December 2001. worked quite good. 31.2kbps upload max and 8mbps download max
Connected with bi-directional connection from January 2002 to November 2006. Worked very badly, not stable, but fast. 204kbps upload max and 8mbps download max.
Connected with wireless docsis modem from November 2006 to april 2008. I began with their 1500kbps / 400kbps and was doing 1437kbps in download and 437kbps in upload. after I used their 3000kbps / 640kbps service, I was doing 2994kbps and 664kbps The connection is rock stable. They use Terayon TJ-715x docsis 2.0 modem with a small microwave antenna on a 30 feets tower.
Their docsis service goes full speed anytime of the day, night/week. when I test to testvitesse.videotron.ca I always obtain the same speed, anytime.
Connection is ideal for someone not having access to dsl or cable modem. You must be a look tv subscriber to use this service (I'm an exception because I don't have look-tv) They don't offer newsgroup service anymore. They offer webmail service (free), I found this very useful. They have static IP and my service have 5 static IP
I'm leaving look for a cheaper alternative with DSL, now that this is available to me.
I recommend the service to anyone that have not access to wired high speed internet connection available. They have good technical service too.

There were no other options for high speed in my area. what really stuck me was having to get there tv service just so i could get the wireless high speed. i have the 3mb/640kb and i usually attain those speeds. the unlimited bandwidth is very nice. The tech who installed was very friendly and had me set up very quickly but since there offices close fairly early i couldn't use the high speed until the monday (install was on friday)

m4w3c6 | wireless and DSL I set a relative up with their wireless and it worked very well. Later on, however, we moved her to DSL and its fantastic! If you can get the DSL, go that way. | |

I've been with them for 2-1/2 years now.
Service is reliable and steady DSL at the 5Mbit/800Kbit tier though I'm actually getting 4Mbit/800Kbit service due to distance limitations.
Outages have been non-existant or at least unnoticeable over the past year or so.
Service is uncapped.
Bundled with TV service so actual price invoiced for DSL is $37 per month plus whatever applicable taxes.
cons : no usenet.

i've been with look since the beginning of third party dsl, always fast no matter what time of day, i get the full 5 mbit as advertised. I rarely get disconnected and even hold the same IP for weeks on end. Email has been very stable over the years.

LOOK.ca acquired customer base from THT.net anfter they went bankrupt.
The transition was horrible, but the service is working OK now.

3000/640 Service/DynamicIP/PPPoE
No Complaints. First 4 months $25. Service was activated as promised. All questions regarding using own modem were addressed before ordering. No downtime. Had 1 problem with email (my fault) that was resolved with Tech Support. Best value for money I could find.
