Acording to the Netaxs services page ...
"No servers, ONE computer only"
Well, I already have 2 computers - my workstation and my firewall. So I
guess I don't qualify.
Also,
"$15/month Netaxs charge, $40/month Bell charge for 640k down, 90k up.
$40/month Netaxs charge, $60/month Bell charge for 1.6M down, 90k up. "
Why do they charge more, just for a faster connection? I can maybe
understand Bell charging more for higher bandwidth, but why the ISP?
Also, it looks like a 1 year commitment. I dislike being locked in like
that; suppose the service sucks out loud (doubt they will, I know what
Netaxs service is like), and I want out after a month or two? Am I stuck
with 10 months of commitment to something I don't want?
