Before someone goes saying I need a tech to visit, they wired my phone line completely brand new when they installed and the only jack connected in my house is to the DSL. I wonder if they will ever upgrade/fix the lines in my neighbourhood, or if Nanaimo is just stuck being ghetto until optik no longer exists due to the widespread availability of premium internet content. I'm watching 1 SD channel on my xbox as we speak with nothing recording or downloading and every 10 seconds it loses the signal. It comes back right away after I flip the channel up and down. Sometimes I have to do this once, sometimes 5 times or more before the signal finally sticks, does this happen to anyone else?

I had something similar happen to me with Shaw here in Calgary. The cable in my neighbourhood was so bad that we could not get anywhere close to the internet speeds we were paying for, and it was impossible to get Shaw cable in HD. That forced a switch to Telus, which has been much better.
