Tired of Bell, Rogers, Cogeco's (and a few others) BS!
- Thread starter The 1
- Start date
I looked into Teksavvy but my research led me to believe that there can be a lot of transition problems and that they have issues with download speeds.
If you have DSL / ADSL with Bell, you can start using the Techsavvy logins immediately. In fact, some secondary DSL providers even provide backup logins for the event that Bell screws up.
Usually, just call Bell and they will cancel your service in 30 days. Tell Teksavvy the exact date, and they will arrange for Teksavvy's service to start the next day. If the modem is at a remote sight, set the login for Teksavvy before Bell does the cut-off, and the transition is seamless.

I've heard that for the DSL, but I'm with the cable and I cannot say anything negative about them.
i love teksavy, 300gb for few dollars less than what i was paying rogers without the modem rental
They probably also signed you up for a new 36 month contract!!!
You might still have a few days to get out of it. Otherwise, hope you like Bell.
From what I read, some Teksavvy services went up, others (higher speeds) went down.
Sorry guys, I was away for a while and missed these comments.
Go with TekSavvy. That's all I can say. I don't work for them. Trust me.
Internet will become everything, if not already. And, it's time for Canadians to do something with these assholes and NOW.
Tomorrow will be late .... VERY VERY late.
FWIW, that little $$ increase from TekSavvy is not their fault. But it's a little price to pay to help our country, our friends & families and our children to be free and able to use the Internet the way it is meant.
Let Bell & Rogers + their fat lazy shareholders learn a good lesson they never forget.
Just check your bills. Right now. And see how much they've been stealing from you.
Primus same shit.

I have teksavvy, and love them never had a problem. And customer service is always there and friendly. To bad there prices are going up in Feb. 2012. Depending on there new charges I might night switch, yes I am on a tight budget.
We Are Going To See A Lot More Original TV On The Web In 2012 ...
Does it apply to Canadians too??? I mean, those of us with 10, 25, 35 ... GB / month?!!
We are less than ten days into 2012, but here is a prediction that is easy to make: We are going to see a lot of original Web TV shows announced this year with big stars.
It’s already happening. Tom Hanks is making a cartoon TV series for Yahoo. Steven Van Zandt is starring in a Web-original drama on Netflix. House of Cards, starring Kevin Spacey, will also appear on Netflix, along with other original shows (it is also resurrectingArrested Development for the Web audience). Yahoo is partnering with ABC News for Web video, and licensing original comedy as well.
And that’s just Yahoo and Netflix. YouTube is spending $100 millionon original programming. And Hulu has dabbled with original programming.
Making TV shows for the web is nothing new. What is new is the level of commitment in terms of dollars and star power being thrown at Web video. Netflix viewers spend 10 hours a month watching streaming video, quadruple the time spent on YouTube or Hulu. Part of that is because Netflix shows feature-length movies, but part of it also is the quality of those movies and the familiarity of the actors who star in them.
Getting Tom Hanks to debut his animated series Electric City on Yahoo is a bold (and, no doubt, expensive) statement that Web video is entering a new phase. Web TV shows no longer have to be second-class citizens. Yahoo, Netflix, YouTube, and maybe even Hulu will increasingly compete for the best shows with cable channels. Could the next Mad Men be a Web TV series?
If the Web wants to chip away at the 130 hours a month people spend watching traditional TV, it will have to go beyond the experimental phase and start producing as many high-quality TV shows as cable and broadcast TV. Okay, maybe not that many. It depends what is your definition of “high-quality,” but in any given season there are only a couple dozen TV shows that count.
Netflix and Yahoo don’t need a full roster of 24/7 programming to compete with TV, but they do need more than one or two shows each. These high-profile shows are anchor properties, like HBO’sBoardwalk Empire or Game of Thrones. They only need a few hits to get people into the habit of watching on the Web, and then they can feed them all their other video.
It’s a risky strategy that depends on hits. But TV has always been a hits-driven business. Online will be no different, except that word of mouth (good or bad) travels instantly through social networks. We’ll know whether these shows can become hits much faster than if they were on regular TV.
