I honestly despise the 60GB/month cap in place by the two companies, and I'm trying to find a GOOD ISP that is unlimited (or like techsavy has 300GB a month)
Unfortunately, our condo doesn't have Tech Savy and my girlfriend doesn't like paying for the dry loop fee for slower internet with Acinac. So I am in peril.
Please someone help me |

I'm with Acanac and love it. I did research on non Bell/Rogers ISPs before and they were first, Tek Savvy second, and 3web third. Here's a link to their site but I just noticed they now have a bandwidth cap, so probably wouldn't go with them...
Here's a recent thread with good advice. |

Teksavvy. I regularly hit 1mb dl speeds. 300gb cap is enough for me. Im paying 37$ a month. Its only 42$ for unlimited.
Teksavvy = rogers lines/routers/servers btw |

The vast majority of any cable service in the GTA that you'll see will be via Rogers lines. Same goes for DSL service and Bell lines as far as I know. |

I cancelled with Bell from my parents restaurants last week. They asked why I was cancelling, and I asked if they wanted to hear the blunt reason or the real reason?
I told them I wasn't willing to support a company that promotes a monopoly/duopoly along with Rogers and charges the highest prices for the poorest service in the 30 most developed nations in the world. I went on a little and the dude didnt have much to say.
I got another call yesterday from them and was asked if it was true if I had cancelled with them, and was asked why again.
I then said I was responsible for holding a protest/rally with Jack Layton in february in Toronto against Bell's monopolistic ways of implementing UBB with a ridiculous 25gb cap on every ISP. I've got some integrity in me and will not support bell any more for screwing the canadian consumer. Its unfortunate that Bell sees canadians as simple dollar signs and the only person who gave enough of a damn about the issue to take it to parliament was Jack Layton and now hes dead.
God damn, felt so ing liberating giving them a piece of my mind. I hope both those call centre drones quit their job. I'd feel like a scumbag working for Bell or Rogers. Hell, I felt like an last year having worked in marketing doing rogers promotional material when they were a client. I dont ever want to promote any of their bull again.
That said, I'm signing up with Teksavvy in a month at the restaurant. I'm still waiting to ditch Bell at home but am waiting on the final results of the UBB hearings. I have a 300gb cap with Bell at home (grandfathered plan) and do not want to lose it if I switch to teksavvy if Bell wins their UBB case. It doesnt matter at the restaurant since the cap was set to 25gb anyway, I actually gained 275gb/month at least for the time being, but hopefully permanently.
Not sure if anyone mentioned, but Yak isnt bad either, theyve got some plans where they charge under $30/month for 2mbit connection. |

| Unless you are with Cogeco, or in one of the Telus towers, your internet goes through Bell or Rogers, regardless of who you pay. |

Seems like we get a thread like this every couple of months.
Anyways, internet is the same as most services......shop around, do your homework, and all will be well. I have a grandfathered tekksavvy plan, no cap and I download anywhere from 500kb/s - 1.2mb/s depending on the host. For $40/mth you can't go wrong. |

| I used to have Acanac through DSL and hated paying for the dry-loop. I recently switched to Acanac Cable internet, and not only is it way faster, but there is no dry-loop fee, so it ends up being cheaper via Cable. The Cable is supposed to be 10mbps, but i've been getting over 20mbps consistently. Plus it comes with a free home phone, and the rate does not go up after the first year like it does for their DSL. |
