Before I moved over the weekend, I had 2 connections, DSL and cable..

The DSL was via Bell Sympatico, it was 4mbps dn/768kbps up..

The second was a cable line via Cogeco, and it was 16mbps dn/and 2mbps up.

I had the 4mbps DSL for Xbox Live, and the 16mbps cable on my home network with all of my computers on it.

However, the area that I live in now doesn't have the cable availability, which sucks, because 16mbps fliiiiiiies... Now everything is on the single 4mbps connection :(

I paid $39.99/month for each service.
