...to TekSavvy. These sorts of stories and the companies behind them need to be highlighted more often!
Business is tough...and the free marketeers would have you believe that stockholders and customers have competing interests. Obviously that's not true because if you screw one too many customers and go out of business, your stock isn't worth all that much.
Good companies that play by the rules, treat everyone fairly and make a fair profit, not that's the kinda' capitalism I could get behind! |

Re: Qustion : How exactly is a small operator that's reselling ?
Usually people only take time out of their busy days filled with watching Oprah or surfing MySpace if they're unhappy. Bad feedback always outnumbers the good kind, because if you're happy, you don't think of reporting that to anyone. So 144 positive reviews say a lot if they outnumber the negative ones. |

It's always the small businesses are more invested in customers than the big faceless corporation. Small businesses will do more for customers because they know customers are what creates their bottom line.
Big corporations always seem to lose that concept.

You can't expect all 20,000 Teksavvy customers to have said their piece on DSLR.
On the flip side, go check out the reviews for Bell Sympatico and you'll see a world of difference, just from the tone of the reviews. |

| Teksavvy is an awesome ISP. I've been using them for about 6 months and find them better than any others that I've used. The ability to employ people who can actually help you with your technical problems is important and the fact that the owner can be reached in this forum or by IM or e-mail is phenomenal. Keep up the good work guys. |

Re: Qustion : How exactly is a small operator that's reselling ?
How much did R0CKY pay bbr for this cover story?
Just kidding of course. 
Being a longtime site member and a Bell employee, I've watched Canadian ISP's come and go from these forums (Ralph Doncaster, anyone?). But even I have to give Kudos to ROCKY and his team. They have consistently contributed positively around here, and if there was an issue, he's been honest about it. Many ISP owners on here have tried to blame Bell Canada for their problems when they crop up. But, not TekSavvy. They at least tell the truth and don't resort to the blame game when it suits them.
Good job Rocky!

Low price, great up times, honesty and know how.
Those words about sums it up.
BTW, they do NOT resell Bell as the article implies. They only lease infrastructure from Bell. The rest is theirs; servers, routers, gateways...
Kudos!

| Hopefully, not deja vu all over again...
This has been the second time I've been lucky to get in reasonably early (able to have my initials as my 'name') with a good ISP.
First time (years ago) was with IDirect (dial-up) and it was a wonderful ride until the owner sold out to Look Communications who was able to turn it into sludge within a year.
That's always the problem - someone with both heart and brains creates something of value which someone else will then offer enough money to purchase and ruin.
But until then, we're going to enjoy.... |

Correction, they aren't actually a reseller. They have their own equipment and bandwidth. |

At first i gave them a poor review and one of the techs found me on this site and personally called me to resolve my issue without me even having to ask.
Now that i have spent 3 months on the rogers network i can't wait to get my teksavvy connection back
keep up the good work
