I am a new Coextro subscriber (last mile is via Rogers Cable). The speed/$ is very competitive, the speeds are consistent and unlike a competitor I recently left, the line quality is high (i.e. Coextro's network has no latency jitter for competitive gamers). I also like that they have their own fiber network - good to support the guys that are building out infrastructure. Doing a traceroute to google.ca showed only 9 hops compared to the 15 hops (some of which were the infamous Cogent) with my previous ISP.

Since I switched from a RCable TPIA to Coextro, the process was a little rough. Basically, there's a downtime of potentially 2-3 days of no internet to make the switch if you bring your own modem. Luckily I had a spare modem so I didn't experience any downtime but really Coextro should provide a temporary modem so there is no loss of internet (even if it has a $100 refundable deposit or such).
