   A few years back my parents got the 'lite' internet service from Bell   
   Sympatico; at the time it cost under $30.  While visiting them recently a   
   billing-related discussion came up and I asked to see their phone bill... I   
   was astounded to see that they were being charged over $40 per month for a   
   'lite' service that allowed only 2 GB/month data transfer!  That's more than   
   TekSavvy's 6 Mbps service with 300 GB monthly.  I have suggested that my   
   parents let their friends know that their @sympatico.ca address will be   
   changing soon, and I plan to move them to TekSavvy.  Perhaps we'll switch   
   their phone service to TekSavvy, too, but I can't see an answer when I put   
   their number or city in TekSavvy's web page...
