I just got set up with Teksavvy's premium DSL service. Took 5 days from the time I ordered it to being available.
I am paying $29.95 for 5M/800k service with a 200gig cap. I am currently maxing out my bandwidth at 5M on downloads through the web and usenet. Bittorrent is capped at 30kB/s, but that is no fault of TekSavvy.
At first my modem was not connecting to the internet, but a quick call to tech support had me up and running in 5 minutes. There was a VCI setting in my 2wire gateway that needed to be changed.
Overall, I am quite happy with Tekavvy. They offer a fair price and a great service
They remind me of the old ISPs I used to be used back in the mid 90's. Helpfull and friendly.
On a side note, my old ISPs charged me $29.95 a month for unlimited 14.4k dial up access and I had to pay Bell about $29.95 a month for a dedicated phone line to use the unlimited dialup. Imagine paying $60 a month for 14.4k.... those were the days..... then the 33.6k modem changed my world around 
** Super Important - Make sure your lines are good!!!! **
My house is aprox. 40 years old and had no prior work done to it ever. I ended up rewiring the home with new CAT5 to ensure that the old wire would not cause any problems.
When my modem was first connected, the line stats were showing me that I was getting 3M/800k. I ended up doing something as simple as changing the RJ11 cord from the back of the modem to the wall jack and the speeds then jumped up to 5M/800k.
When in doubt, check your wiring first.
