I used to be with rogers for my internet service. When I first switched to the their cable modem service from dialup it was absolutely blazing fast. Over the years they've been cutting back on their service through download caps and throttling, and higher fees. It came to the point where I felt like I was back on dialup. I thought about switching to bell, but they started throttling their service as well. They even throttled service to their wholesalers. Total BS!!! I was paying $50/month + $1.50/gig over my 95 gig cap to a max of $50.

Teksavvy recently introduced cable internet service. I made the switch after reading a couple good reviews and talking to their tech support to clear up some questions I had. It feels good to have unthrottled, unlimited internet usage again. I pay $50/month for unlimited, though they have a couple of other packages for people that use less bandwidth.

Teksavvy is working around that, they are starting to roll out there own DSLAM's. Once your on one of the Co-located DSLAM your no longer at the mercy for Bell with there caps and traffic shaping.

For DSL they offer rent to own,,, basically same rental rate as Bell or Rogers but you own it after a few months. You can also buy DSL modems from most computer shops, generally less then $50

For Cable you have to buy one from Teksavvy for $75 or find someone selling an old Rogers mondem.
 
I hate Rogers with all my power/prayer/mind, whatever I can find. So I hear ya man.

I switched to 3web many years ago (Roger's reseller.) I own the modem $60.

I pay $32.49 (Tax included,) unlimited for 5m. It does get slow once a year as they keep adding more people.

But then they add more servers and it goes back up, so I don't mind.

Now don't know how HST will effect this.
 
They don't look very cheap to me. I'm on Bell, getting 12 M download speeds with a limit of 50 gig/month and paying less than what Teksavvy has posted for a 5 meg service.
 
I can't comment on their dsl prices because I haven't been with bell, but I won't even consider it with the traffic shaping. I much prefer the cable internet service because its unthrottled, which was the selling point for me. And compared to rogers its significantly cheaper.

The unlimited or the 200gb cap version? 200Gb is $31.95/mo, pretty cheap. If so, good job!
 
Is bittorrent also unthrottled? There is a trick one can do via TekSavvy's DSL service using multi-point linking. It hides some info on your packets to your bittorrent traffic doesn't get throttled. I don't think you can do this via cable.

My Bell contract will END finally in June 15th. I'm moving to Teksavvy. Bell provided me with the worst service, worst customer service ever. They even ripped me off, a whole month without service "to fix their lines" went without compensation for stupid reasons. I had huge fights with them.

Yes Rogers used to throttle as well (when I was with them before Bell), but I never had any problems at all.

Teksavvy, here I come.
 
I use Xplornet up here near Collingwood because I have no choice living in the country. And btw, I have to pay $125 per month for that, so don't feel bad paying $50 lol. During the hours of 7am until 2am I am limited to upload/download of 450mb. From 2am until 7am I am unlimited, so I set all of my downloads to happen at that time. I'm just wondering if Rogers has a time period such as that which is outside of your 'fair usage policy'?

Another question that I have, is it possible to schedule your windows updates? I want to schedule the actual 'download' time not install time.
 
Rogers throttles traffic, and as teksavvy is only reselling Roger's service that means it's throttled as well.

However I believe Rogers only throttles when there is actual congestion, whereas Bell throttles certain hours of the day. That seems fairer to me--throttling when there's an actual problem.

On the other hand Bell and Rogers both suck donkey balls and any dollar that can go to an upstart like Teksavvy is a dollar that might help build out a third network with less stupid policies, so by all means I would support teksavvy.
 
i have to agree teksavvy is hands down amazing and i mean it. been with them for over a year now and robbers and smell are both garbage companies.

now that teksavvy offers cable speeds of 10 mbps + and 200gig cap for $36.95 is amazing. i am switching soon to their cable.

200gb is more than enough for an average family/person.

Like I said... I just switched from rogers to teksavvy... and while rogers does throttle their service, it seems they sell unthrottled bandwidth to teksavvy as my speeds are significantly faster.
 
with rogers, i have to have at least basic cable to get their cable internet. do i need any cable tv to get teksavvy cable internet???
