I've not seen the issues that some people are talking about (ie: Aliant customer service rep...go figure :-P).

I've had EastLink TV, High Speed (recently given a FREE upgrade from 10 Mbps to 15 Mbps) and Telephone for over 3 years. Through probably 15 power outages (hurray for good ol' reliable NS Power) I've never lost phone usage. And i pay a lot less than the same services from Bell/Aliant.
