Does anyone know anything about this?
Shaw has a deal where I would get basic cable(better than Manito....err...PeasentVision)and this "High Speed Lite" internet for the same price as I am paying for DSL..Good deal?
They tell me its 5x faster than dialup but not as fast as regular high-speed...
Can someone give me some more info?Is it ok to use?
Thanks for any input..

High Speed Lite is only margnally better than 56k dialup. Where as standard DSL is 3meg far better than anything the cable company can offer. Now you live in Telus territory and I'm in Bell territory, we were moved to 3meg as standard sevice awhile ago hopefully you where too.
As fas as a good deal if you can stand the slow up and down speeds its an ok deal.

And for High Speed Lite is just 128 Kbps not very fast, is just 2 X dial-up, they saw 5 time faster then dial-up 28.8k, not 56k. If you don't have a second phone line, if you just surf the web and not doing very much, it's very good. When you taste the high speed you will never go back.

DSL lite is POOP. Only use is if you can't get cable internet, or if you're on some wonky budget. DSL lite is like ISDN (or, two 56k modems at the same time), DSL lite doesn't tie up the phone lines though.
