I've had dial-up, DSL, and cable. I've been a Telus, Rogers (who sold their internet business downtown to Shaw) and Shaw customer. I don't think Novus ever made it beyond Yaletown and the downtown backbone. After a move down Beach Ave in 2001 I was forced to switch to Shaw. It was the worse, and still is, customer service experience of my life for any service I have ever subscribed to. Next day service from Novus? Try next week for Shaw, and next month if you needed a new connection. We finally called up a friendly tech, gave him a case of beer, and we have had free high speed internet ever since. Screw'em for TV; I built my own HD antenna, and when you're 20 stories up, the HD free to air world is your oyster. I’ve lived in Westend Vancouver for 25 years. I’ve had dial-up, DSL, and cable.
