You also get 6Megs with us :). I've sent you an email with your sync rate results. All of our new customers are syncing in with the full 6016/800 profile.
Huh? Hehehe... I don't think so.

It's syncing whatever Bell has as a default.... sometimes, 3Meg, sometimes 5Meg and sometimes 6Meg by mistake.

Yeah?! Good to know! Now people are truly receiving the 5 meg speed.

Teksavvy is normally 5 meg... just like the rest of the DSL ISPs. Bell is the one deciding what profile limit should the ISP have and for residential, it's 5 meg.

And the lucky ones who have a profile more than 5 meg are, well, lucky ;), Bell made a mistake and changed their profile.

So Bell is the one controlling the profiles.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19157722 Thu, 27 Sep 2007 23:38:47 EDT Re: Gatineau Internet Service Providers http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19157563 KINgGh0sT : dang, I should of went with Teksavvy, No offense to Velcom theyve been alright, just noticed in my original post that TEk has 6mbits]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19157563 Thu, 27 Sep 2007 23:04:21 EDT Re: Gatineau Internet Service Providers http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19146392 VelcomMatt : Hello KINgGh0sT,

Would you be able to private message me your Velcom login ID so I can pull up your account profile in our system ASAP and see which Band Rate you fall under.

Please note that for all DSL circuits in Ontario & Quebec the lines are provisioned by Bell and if you're far from the CO or equipment this will play a role in what Band Rate you are.

Kind Regards,

Matthew]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19146392 Wed, 26 Sep 2007 10:31:40 EDT Re: Gatineau Internet Service Providers http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19144967 anon : Velcom said they will get back to me, I have an open ticket, as I just got access today, I tried to ask what my Band Rate is, and why I am getting 3mbit access, when I should get 5mbits.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19144967 Wed, 26 Sep 2007 00:41:14 EDT Re: Gatineau Internet Service Providers http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19109133 R0CKY : I'm think we should find out what band rate we're talking about here....

My point was that you can get a TekSavvy connection and used Acanac for the physical connection to save money on Acanac's flatrate bandrate and discounted monthly price.

It's exactly the same as actually having TekSavvy, except you'd have to go through Acanac to deal with Bell issues.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19107319 Wed, 19 Sep 2007 17:14:37 EDT Re: Gatineau Internet Service Providers http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19106751 gi1010 :
said by Guspaz See Profile :

It may also be worth noting that since Acanac is very cheap for the first year of service, if you're in a high band rate, Acanac plus a TekSavvy login would be far cheaper than TekSavvy itself (as in, $30 + $25 = $55 as compared to $19 + $8 + $10 = $37), and you'd have the benefits of TekSavvy's more reliable service. The downside would be you'd still have to deal with Acanac for line issues. If you assume it's only worth doing this with at least a $5 difference in price, then it'd make sense if you're band E, F, or G. If you're in bands A, B, C, or D, then I'd say it's not worth it.
For Acanac calculation, what is the $10 fee you included in the calculation.

As far as I know, it should be $19 + $8 = $27 for DryDSL and you have to deposit $50 for the DSL modem... you can always get back/don't pay this money when you return the modem or you have your own modem.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19106751 Wed, 19 Sep 2007 15:49:44 EDT Re: Gatineau Internet Service Providers http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19106336 Guspaz : It may also be worth noting that since Acanac is very cheap for the first year of service, if you're in a high band rate, Acanac plus a TekSavvy login would be far cheaper than TekSavvy itself (as in, $30 + $25 = $55 as compared to $19 + $8 + $10 = $37), and you'd have the benefits of TekSavvy's more reliable service.

»www.teksavvy.com/busdrydsl.htm

If it is too expensive like Band G - $25.10/month, then better find ISPs which give you cheap DryDSL rate. For example,

Bell Sympatico... $0 for DryLoop
Acanac... always $8 no matter which band you have]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19105030 Wed, 19 Sep 2007 11:52:50 EDT Re: Gatineau Internet Service Providers http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19104939 Guspaz : It isn't an overestimate.

Providing DSL is good in your area, you shouldn't have any issues. 3Web/CIA should service Gatineau through cable as well, but beware the bad tech support.

Just wondering what all the internet providers are in Gatineau, I'm looking for cheap. I heard rumours of 3web, but alas when I check their website it doesnt allow for it.

So that leaves?

Videotron 10Mbps/900Kbps at $64.90/month
TekSavvy 6Mbps/800Kbps at $29.95/month

Volcom 5Mbps/800Kbps at $29.95/month
Do they actually offer service in Gatineau? Could not see from their website.

Is there anyone else I'm missing?

Looks like teksavvy is the best choice from the list.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19101139 Tue, 18 Sep 2007 20:35:29 EDT
