Ugh, NCIX news loving kills me, but isn't surprising at all. They were my main tech provider for ages, and all of my builds have had parts from them. How long did they own DirectCanada for? My build process was always "find poo poo on NCIX because it has a usable website, search model numbers on directCanada and buy at a $150 discount", and I was very sad when I got the same garbage service from both of them during my last build.

Bloody Hedgehog posted:I swear Shaw is doing poo poo with torrents now. Despite their constant swearing up and down that they're not throttling or shaping traffic, torrents have gone to poo poo lately. Now I think they're just blocking/throttling when it detects certain trackers. I can torrent anything legit, linux distros, etc, just fine, almost as fast as my connection will allow. As soon as it's something a little more "fun", speeds are poo poo. Tested this on dozens of torrents at this point. Boring, everyday poo poo = fast as gently caress. Fun stuff = slow as poo poo. Have you tried downloading a legit thing from a sketchy tracker? They're not exactly known for their proliferation of seeders.

Anyone have experience with Frontline? My condo board is considering putting them in and especially with the deal they're offering so that they can get a foothold, I'm super interested in switching off Bell.

Fibrestream is great and super horny to get into any condos they can. Can also confirm that condo boards are incredibly resistant to having fiber installed for ??reasons?? especially when you approach them as a renter

Risky Bisquick posted:The big banks don't have capacity for full WFH either I've heard that at least for one big bank, there are 'tiers' of employee requirements. T0 gets access whenever they want for bank resources. T1 employees get access from 6am to 8 (9?)am and 4-5pm. Hope you only need that much time to answer your emails, I guess?

750/750 seems like the best value tbh (lol if you ever pay full shot) I know my consumption definitely expanded to meet my ability when I had gigabit - streaming was nicer, torrents were seeded to gently caress, 4gb poorly cached docker images didn't take three million years to bring down, etc

Oh wicked looks like TSI literally updated their availability for me today - last I checked my address only had access to the 300mbps package. Glad you called that out, I thought I was gonna be forced to give rogers money to get those sweet jiggabits

It's better because, while some of your money is always going to go to a terrible ISP (unless you're on new fiber), at least with Teksavvy a non-zero amount of it is going towards lobbying for better internet

Yeah absolutely can't confirm, I've had fibe in two different buildings and it was not only the most stable connection I've had, but the most consistent at achieving the contract speeds

I'm honestly so mad about my current internet situation - there is bell fibe across the street but I'm in a condo townhouse meaning it has to be run to a tech room first and while there's a plan in place to do a further fiber rollout in my area, COVID has set it back significantly. Thus, I have to use Rogers-via-Teksavvy which, while "gigabit", is still 500mbps on a good day and laggy/jittery as all hell. Like, I obviously am not gonna get use out of the full 1024mbps but better and cheaper internet is literally less than 20m from my front door

I am trying to get bell to run fiber to my condo (townhouses) and I swear to god it's like pulling teeth trying to convey what I need to the sales people. In like 5 calls I've found one person who understood and gave me the information I needed, but then told me I need to have a representative of the condo corp call. The property manager called, and bounced off the person they got in contact with, who again failed to understand the context. it's right across the road there is conduit on our side JUST GIVE ME THE drat INTERNET
