Anybody in Canada have an Amiga connected to high-speed internet (DSL)?

Hi;

I have an Amiga 1200 (68030, 64MB ram) and a 3com etherlink ethernet card.  I can connect fine with it using Miami and PPPoE, but not through my router (D-Link DI604).  My ISP (www.hurontel.on.ca) does not officially support Amiga, any PPPoE connection will work and their homepage comes up fine in AWeb.

I would never use Sympatico/Bell for my ADSL service.  If I could switch to a different CLEC for phone service as well I would too.

Capping a user's bandwidth is unethical because if a customer has a virus (on a windows box) they could easily blow through most of their transfer limit in a very short amount of time.

How are other people here finding ADSL service with their amiga?  Anyone using an ADSL service that supports DHCP?  Anyone here getting broadband in Canada from a CLEC?

Can anybody recommend a non-Bell service? (that somebody has connected to Amiga)

Rogers, Shaw or whatever cable company you have in your area that offers hi- speed internet.  As DSL requires you to be close to the exchange, I assume you're in a major urban are, so cable should be available to you.  If not and you have to use the phone lines, Primus or Telus may be able to help.

If you live in an area in Canada who is not serviced by bell for phone service you may be able to get DSL anywhere in their service area.  There are new technologies that allow DSL to be provided over very long cable loops, some even bring ethernet directly into the home.
