i never understood the reason for people going to tekksavvy. all you're really doing is paying a third party for bell or rogers service. that's the whole reason they're cheaper; because they don't employ technicians to fix physical problems so basically if a rat chews through a line or any of a dozen other problems arise tekksavvy is powerless to fix it and the REAL providers won't get off their asses for the likes of a third party subscriber.
i'm with bell myself, i'm not gonna get all technical but my speeds are fast enough that i literally never actually pause to think my internet is slow. if shit is slow, it's always the server not my connection. 60 bucks might be a bit of a pill to swallow for the 100gb cap but it's peanuts for the peace of mind that comes with fast service that's been over 99% consistent for me.
but hey, if you'd rather save a few bucks and tear out a few more loose hairs with headaches, go ahead and call up tekksavvy i'm sure they need the business.

I've been with Teksavvy since 2007, never had a major down time, they do the maintenance after midnight till 6 in the morning, never had any problems unresolved. Their call center is base in Ontario, and their staff actually KNOW their shit, and not just reading from the manual script to you like Bell customer service does, and Bell outsource their call center to India.
Teksavvy didn't ranked 33 in 2009 Canada's FASTEST-growing companies for nothing. They pay Bell $25 dollar per dsl line, and still making a nice profit, by offering affordable service. What is there not to love about Teksavvy? They care about the customers.
Small company like Teksavvy and all those other 3rd party reseller are fighting hard about net neutrality, yes the freedom for our internet, the big 3 have been restricting on what you can do and what you can't do with our internet. Yes remember back in the days where everything is unlimited? and now you're throttle during peek hour for Bittorrenting and capped on your bandwidth usage? You're actually paying more for less service? You don't mind letting them just take your hard working money like that?
