Internet Service

Currently my family is paying for a package with Bell Sympatico for our internet, phone lines and satellite TV.

My main concern right now is the internet. I want a good and strong connection with fast download speeds for torrenting, as well as a stable connection for gaming.

Currently they're with a high speed plan with unlimited bandwidth. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like I'm getting that high of speed, even with port forwarding.

I'm a Canadian living in Ontario, but I'm not sure if my area has fiber optic availability, so keep that in mind when going over my options.

Things I'm looking for:

• Best Modem I can use (Wireless capabilities are a must)
• Best ISP and plan (Looking for a connection suited to gaming and large downloads, usually Torrents. Connection must be stable and fast. Currently I'm not very aware on what constitutes a fast connection, but I think minimum 1Mbs.)
• Best equipment and software to optimize my connection
• Port Forwarding information
• Multiple options regarding affordability.
