| Teksavvy and Monthly Usage
just want to let people know that they have bumped up their monthly usage from 200Gb to 300Gb...some are 500GB and some are unlimited... http://teksavvy.com/en/res-internet.asp..you might have to change the province to BC...
wanna stick it to the CRTC? I think they do...
feeling generous?...use me as a referrer so i can get a $1 off my monthly bill! PM...if we do this right everyone can get a $1 off their monthly bill (or more) if we have some sort of plan...

Can you give us some reviews of teksavvy vs shaw? I am assuming tek is piggybacking off of shaw so tek's speed and ping should be identical?

^ from what I gather, since they run off of Shaw's system, you can get them anywhere you can get Shaw?

i was with acanac before and had a year of great service but ... cause the second year price went way up so i chose to move on to another company -> teksavvy
i live in toronto tho ~ and they leech off rogers here but so far i've been very satisfied with their service

Even if TekSavvy does raise their rates a little, they are still much cheaper than Shaw.
Shaw Extreme: 15 down/1 up, 100GB cap - $57
TekSavvy Pro: 15 down/1 up, 300GB cap - $37

so any teksavvy users former shaw users?
for teksavvy cable, pretty much identical reliability?
for some reason i heard people saying stuff like steaming is poor and upload throughputs are weaker

not yet...they were suppose to put it in last friday...instead when i double checked, they misplaced my mac address and SN for my modem which i forwarded them their own email showing the mac id and SN...so i'm still playing the waiting game...
i'm certain that it will just be better for me to go from the dry dsl to this...i mean my boxee box is just going to respond better

Keep us updated please.
My promo price with shaw is coming to a close.
I've been on $10 for extreme highspeed, and I'd hate to have to go back to regular.

discontinued our service to shaw the week before, feb 10th.. we asked them how would the transition work and how long it will take, TS said it would only take 3 days the most.. there is no need for a technician to come over and the transition would be seemless.... so had no internet for a good week
i called up teksavvy after 4 days and they said Shaw actually shut off the "line" thats connecting our house to their infustructure.. .. i think its a ploy by Shaw to turn off people into switching to these small ISP.. i tried to call Shaw and they just keep telling me to wait because they have to "reset" their connections
