Anybody from Ontario?

Hello
I'm moving to Toronto from England in September and I'm wondering if there is anybody on the forum who could help me with trying to decide which television, telephone and internet package to get?
I'm not sure if I should buy them all as a package, or get them individually. I think we'll be in an apartment in the city, so I assume the internet and TV shall come through the cable system.
Also, can anyone recommend a good cell network?
Thanks in advance

Ollie

We have Bell Canada here but there are many more in Toronto. Large markets mean more choices for the most part.
We have our house, shop phone, internet, fax line, and satelite TV through Bell as a single package. Since high speed isn't available in my area through Bell so we still use dial up for that. My ISP is a seperate company.

Not having high speed internet in any area of southern ontario really suprises me. Even out here in the boondocks of Nova Scotia we have it.

I'm really not all that rural here but I live in a very small directory. I can get wireless but it's not part of my regular package. I would have to buy it seperately and likely have to change my email address and get a new server. I'm inclined to think about it but for the most part I only use my computer to send emails and keep in touch with customers. I don't and won't go near ebay so high speed isn't worth it to me, yet. If I was trying to down load more pictures, I'd need it.

I will get it in time but I'm hoping Bell will provide it at a reduced rate. It's all around me even in smaller places but my exchange has always been slow to get things done.

Weird -- DSL is essentially an add-on package to the phone lines, irrespective of exchange type. At least in the US, there are (were?) areas on 1st-generation electronic (non-digital, switching via mechanical relay) phone systems that had high-speed Internet.

Yeah, you'd think so. I'm sure there are several ways that I can get it but not through my regular phone lines.
