I have had similar problems. Web Pages freeze all the time when loading and my wife's laptop has similar issues and both our connections periodically drop all the time. Then I found out at work from some geek guys that Aliant capped their service without telling anyone. Before I use to have "high speed" then everything slowed down. I called and they told me that I would have to pay extra to get higher speeds (You mean the speeds I use to have for the same price?) I am really ticked and thinking of switching over to Eastlink and then I heard that aliant maybe buying east link, is this true. One would think that the competition bureau would stop such a deal?
