Need advice from Canadian f-listers

In exactly one month I shall be standing in immigration at the airport
hoping that the embassy was correct that I have all my paperwork (the three
times I called and checked). In other words, it is exactly one month until
my emigration. Yay!

To that end, I need some advice. Specifically advice on my choice of cable
supplier.

It seems like the most cost efficient thing is to have cable, telephone and
Internet (DSL/Cable) bundled from one supplier. However, I know from
experience that not all companies are equal (BT has strangled my torrents
for over two years - thank you). So does anyone have any particular
companies they'd recommend? Advise strongly against? I've heard a lot of bad
things about Rogers over the years, for example: is that justified? And Bell
seems to be getting pounded for strangling some types of Internet traffic,
which I definitely don't want! Has anyone had geniune Bell problems?

I'm going to be in Nova Scotia and I know that I can also get Shaw and
possibly Alliant there - any opinions good or bad? Any others that I should
investigate to see whether they work in my area?

So many things to think about! And obviously my cable - therefore my
Internet - supplier is the most important :-)

New toy!

I have the best new toy ever. Well, until I get my next new toy :-)

I have a Canon Powershot A470 which is dinky and gorgeous and takes beautiful photos, so perfect for recording my moving adventures, my Snowdon adventures and lots of other adventures, too.

I's absolutely fabulous.

Also a 2GB SD card, because at £7 I couldn't resist. When I think about how much 127MB cost a few years ago...

I am such a dorky geek.
