I went over to TekSavvy's unlimited cable package back in September, and have had no problems. Not that I ever had any with Rogers over the years. I am curious to see whether this unlimited offering will be disappearing, over at DSLReports their main guy has said they "have something in the works." Eh, we'll see.Pivo posted:Hm... I have 20mbit ADSL2+ in Kitchener, ON with EyeSurf. No caps. I wonder why TekSavvy doesn't offer that.

Only in Canada is loving over your own customers considered a legitimate business strategy to avoid competition/slowing churn rates.

Whimsy posted:I'm upset that Teksavvy hasn't said a peep to their customers about this yet. They're the ones who have to charge, right? At this point, they should be concerned that their customers are going to be rightly pissed at a sudden apparent increase to their bill. I'm on TS cable, and at least on DSLReports they've been pretty up front saying they're still figuring out what to do.

kuddles posted:On that note, the Rogers quota "reminder" is completely useless. I usually only get the warning that I reached 75% of my monthly limit after I already surpassed 100%. It's a day behind usage, IIRC. Same thing as the online check in your account info.

Don't really want to turn this into TV chat, but Corus is another stellar example of what happens when our companies get too large and start loving things up. The demise of the original programming on WTN and YTV to name just two. "What, we got into debt to buy your channel? Guess we have to lay everyone off and cut making original programming, because that costs too much!"

TekSavvy said that a bunch of the Toronto POIs finally are getting their upgrades. I haven't checked DSLReports since the weekend, but ever since last Thursday my prime time isn't nearly as bad as it had been since they bumped me from Scarlett to Dupont. :fingerscrossed:

MasterBuilder posted:I'm helpin my sister research new ISP since her discount with Rogers is up. Right now she has Express (15mbps down .5mbps up 60gb cap) the speed is generally fine but the cap is getting destroyed by Netflix. I suggested Teksavvy but she lives in the Annex in Toronto which would mean she would be on the Dupont POI which is absolute poo poo according to DSLreports. Distributel looks like a good alternative but I can't find any reviews on their service for her general area. Does anyone have an idea on the quality? I'm on Dupont, having started on Scarlett when I first switched last year. There was some initial slowdowns a year ago when people switched in droves from Rogers, and Dupont was simply swamped with customers. Speeds came back, and all was good for a long time. However, there's a stop sell in the Dupont area (and a few others) for the time being while they sort things out.

Put in the upgrade request to Teksavvy to get my cable switched up to 45/4 last week, got an email this afternoon saying the order has been processed. Works as advertised:

infernal machines posted:Teksavvy had amazing support and resolution times for years. That all went out the window about two years ago, for whatever reason. While their communication through the DSL Reports forum is excellent, it's not great that you have to go there and kick up a fuss to get an issue looked in to. Their phone support is useless and issues in the direct forum are often brushed off until a public thread appears with numerous people complaining about the same issue. IIRC, one of the biggest shifts happened when they hired a new support director. Instead of focusing on first time resolution, he probably stuck with average hold time. Obviously the former results in happier customers, so we can't possibly do that!

slush posted:Well, TekSavvy announced a price increase on their plans. $2 or $3 depending on who your vendor is. So, the 25/2 (300gb) plan in the GTA is going to $42/mo. The hilarious part is that they warned that there might be further price increases coming! Interestingly enough, Rogers sent our a direct mail offering 30/3 (300gb) for $45/mo with a price-lock for 3 years. Man, remind me to never read DSL Reports, talk about a bunch of loving whiny babies.

Recently upgraded my Teksavvy cable from the (now no longer available) 45/4 to 60/10. Took a couple of days from order to implementation, went fine. Haven't tried ZTC yet.

I was talking with my aunt over Christmas break, and it looks like she dropped Cogeco and is now with Wightman Telecom for internet and TV out in Fergus. Looks like they're rolling out FTTH this year, which is p. sweet.

When people switched to encrypted torrents to evade packet inspection, Rogers took a hammer to their network and deprioritized all encrypted traffic. Every time I had to remote into work on our VPN it was like pulling teeth. They really are a bunch of idiots.

It certainly reflects what John Ralston Saul was getting at by saying that Canada's corporate execs are the laziest on earth. "We don't get a guaranteed monopoly when we spend our money building something? Eh, then we won't bother, and block anyone else who tries."
