I just talked to Teksavvy about service in Alberta... I can get 2 DSL dry lines bonded through MLPPP so theoretically ill be getting 12/2 but realistically im thinking 10/1.4. Its gonna cost me about $115 a month and they are giving me unlimited download. I am lucky that we don't have to use Bell's backbone, but we are stuck with Telus. Well have to see how they act with the unlimited package Teksavvy is offering. I'm with Shaw now and my roommate and I are heavy internet users, so we normally go through Shaw's 100gb cap on the extream package in a week thanks to Steam ( I HATE YOU STEAM SALES ) and software/mmo/game patches and youtube.

I looked into Novus, they are only in BC from what I could tell. Looks like Shaw also wrecked my telco panel when they installed their equipment.

Why is it when i read about Bell's download insurance, the first thing that popped into my head was some mobster roughing up a shopkeeper for accident insurance.

less than three posted:You missed the extra mandatory fees and included 'new client only' discounts. Don't forget this wonderful thing: Want it tomorrow? Order before 3 p.m. and get hooked up as early as tomorrow. A single $74.95 fee applies no matter how many services we install. Talk to us now to schedule an appointment.

less than three posted:For any of you who switched to Telus (or remember their PR guy saying on TV that they wouldn't be charging overages.) I love that. A month ago "We wont charge for Overages!" they get a ton of signups, most probably in three year contracts, and since it wasn't in writing 'Lol, just kidding' They got to use the CBC for free advertising as well..

I was reading that in Nova Scotia they are putting in fiber that can pull 170 mbit or something like that.. whats the point of a service that can blow through your monthly cap in under an hour

Nitr0 posted:Teksavvy is available anywhere Telus is. If 25 telus is available then 25 teksavvy is available. They're just a reseller. Thats not what I was told by telus when I tried to switch to Teksavvy last year. Last year all Telus would give them is 6/1 and personally I never saw anything above 3.

Squibbles posted:And same with Cable. Shaw will do up to 100 or probably even 250mbps in my area but they won't let Teksavvy do more than 25 anywhere on cable as far as I know. Also I think teksavvy is still using those older docsis 2.0 modems rather than the docsis 3 ones that shaw uses. At some points during the fiasco of my attempted Teksavvy setup, I swear the Telus techs were intentionally messing up the job. It took 9 or 10 service calls to get the line working. When it finally started to work, the speed was so slow and inconstant. I only ended up wasting three months and several hundred dollars of service fees to Teksavvy. I don't blame them in the end, but their hands are tied based on what Telus does.

thexerox123 posted:I've wondered why this is... Rogers here offers up to 100, but Teksavvy only offers up to 25 on Rogers' lines. Why is this? I also thought that they were supposed to have access to access of equal quality? My guess is that they only grant teksavvy access to the analog side of the network.

Unless these specific routers are manually logging each MAC address that uses its bandwidth and set to only accept cetain MAC addresses so that one could use that in their defence. You don't even need to build a powerful receiver. a Pringles Cantenna will to get wifi signal at a decent range, though it is more directional blackswordca fucked around with this message at 18:01 on Dec 14, 2012 |
