My monthly usage since April 2012 has always been over 15GB so I guess my monthly fee has increased by $20 with NO upgrade to my service. Low Speed for Higher Fees?? Not a good deal!!

There was a big decrease in the quality of speed with my internet connection when Eastlink began to have cell phone usage. I believe they are using the equipment which provides rural broadband service and which was mainly government funded, for the cell phone usage. . We are paying the price for "high speed" but not receiving the quality of "high speed" we used to get. Now to add insult to injury, we have a cap added to the usage.

This has made my internet so slow I can't watch even short videos anymore. Using Skype is out of the question.

Make the big providers run fibre to all rural customers. If they fail to do this they should be forced to do so or not be able to provide provide services in the larger profitable centres !!!

We are being scrutinized for where we live. This company is picking us because they know we have no other choice. We pay the bill with crappy service to begin with. We should be able to do what we want. With children in school the Internet is needed bur they are telling us it's not intended for that either. Tell that to the school board. We sit here every night with no tv, noway to communicate with family members away and my daughter can't do school work. Real fair. Without customers you'd be nothing!! #onecrankycustomer #verycrankyteenager

Eastlink is misleading customers and 15 GB is not near enough data 50 GB should be the minimum if they insist on keeping the cap. I have to unplug me modem half way through the month because my data has run out and I only use it for web browsing . it is blatantly obvious that this is a money grab ,eastlink has no respect for customers.

It is slow enough as it is with most downloads dropped due to weak signal to the host server. Throttling after 15 Gigs? 1 Video driver is almost 500Mb. Not to mention Steam for retail games. Netflix which is slow already and windows updates. Come on Eastlink You were the good guys once.
