    Gibor, it comes to who do you trust, Andrew, your cousin or me?

    Do your own DD and good luck.

    My Rogers,s termination was easy, maybe mine was small ticket - just cable internet. But it annoys me that I no longer can check my daily internet usage until termination day early Oct. Anyone got similar experience?

    Called Rogers on weekend....and even rep couldn't tell me what was my usage! The only way i figured it out, when I went live on chat ... btw, if your termination in the middle of the months -> you still has monthly quote (it's not prorated)

    I'm using start.ca for high-speed cable internet service (better than eyeSurf, teksavvy and Distributel - all those being tested/used before). And voip.ms for all my voip-based phone needs (which is the technical geeks' paradise).

    Everything works as expected and they are services I can rely on.

    For sat reception: Genpix Skywalker-2 plus SichoPVR plus a home-theater DYI pc with a decent video card.
    And a ping-pong table in my garage, bought used. I can afford keeping it in the garage simply because I don't own a car. Going by bicycle to work when warm and by bus otherwise.

    I switched to Teksavvy Cable from Rogers for internet.
    As soon as I got my teksavvy modem, I installed it, got the service running and returned the rogers modem to their store.

    I'm happy, the service is about the same speed, and the higher quota, at a lower price. The modem rental isn't a really big deal and paid for itself in a few months.
    I also got netflix, which would have been hugely expensive with Rogers service.

    There was one hiccup with the service being poor, which they blamed rogers, but otherwise it's been fast.

    Another big benefit is I think their tech support is better. They don't freak out when I call and say I'm on linux, they just have me connect to the modems admin panel, and check the signal information numbers to determine if it is me, or the connection.

    Excuse my ignorance but, is this quota like a cap on how much one can download a month or is it internet usage as in time spent online? Would someone be kind enough to clue me in.

    @betty. It is a monthly cap. Usually each internet plan has a monthly cap eg X GB usage per month. Any excess is usually chargeable depending on the provider.
