Alternative Internet Service Providers and Television

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.

I've been overall happy with Teksavvy. When we recently moved to a new residence, moving Teksavvy DSL was not smooth at all. On the day they were supposed to move, they called and said they couldn't do it because Bell hadn't moved the home phone yet. So, we had to wait one more week for the service to be moved. I suppose this could happen at any service provider but this was my first negative experience at Teksavvy.

I've got Rogers (still), talked them into $35 taxes in for 80 GB and up to 18 Mbps of download speed. Not too bad. I've heard very good things about Teksavvy and the prices are great.

I was talking to a friend who lives in the US NY/NJ. He says pretty much everything down there is unlimited, and high speed. Any talk of unlimited happening here?

Unlimited is available from Third Party ISPs like TekSavvy and Acanac.

Apparently some US ISPs are starting to introduce data caps. Hopefully Google's Fibre service puts the fear of god in ISPs and makes them shape up. Google doesn't want to do a full, nation-wide roll-out, but why shouldn't it? Or do it as a spin-off venture?
