Question to Mr Rocky:

Since you are bringing the whole TSI family, can we get any garantees that you will not gang up on some pesky undesirable loud mouthed DSLR participants ?

Or are you bringing in protection in case the DSLR participants gang up on you ?

:-) :-) :-)
I'll do my best to keep some of the techs away from you JF! :p

If the return schedule isn't good for you, you could always catch Voyageur/Greyhound back to montreal, they have hourly schedule. You could catch the TSI bus in the morning and come back in Greyhound/Voyageur.

Question to Mr Rocky:

If you do end up arranging transportation, inquire about possibility of one way tickets. I might may my onw way into Ottawa and then catch a bus back if available (otherwise, I would be in Greyhound/Voyageur). If weather is not good, then I would get bus both ways.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20468543 Mon, 12 May 2008 07:39:22 EDT Re: May 27 - be there OR BE THROTTLED http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20468539 jfmezei : Question to Mr Rocky:

LOL... have fun in Hawaii.... That's a great reason to not be there.... Any other reason, however, isn't a good one! ;)

If we're shutting down our office in order to show our support (putting our time, money and staff), it should serve as a notice to everyone else just how important this topic is.

I'll poke DSL_Ricer tomorrow and see if he is able. I also think Vinch wanted to go, and offered to drive, although that was for the old date.

We'll be posting a Travel link of sorts later today on the travel arrangements....

EDIT: Ah, I see that it *ends* at 1:30PM. I have class at 6:30PM, so that should be plenty of time to get back to Montreal...

So, I can actually tentatively attend if it does indeed end at 1:30PM and transport isn't a problem.

Transportation for participants: I'm trying to organise a few key pick-up points for $20/person for the day.

TSI Staff: As it stands, we are entertaining closing the office on May 27th and having as many of us as possible show up in Ottawa to show our support. It means our leaving at around 2AM but we plan on doing it.

And more people would know about this if perhaps ISPs were to send an email to all their customers about it. While Teksavvy's executives have been on the forefront of this issue, what about other ISPs that have remained suspiciously quiet ?

[speculation]
Rocky and other TSI employees are very busy taking bus driving courses, and they intend to drive buses from the chatham barn to Ottawa, picking up all customers on the way there.

Note that this is 40% off the full fare. It corresponds to the comfort super saver fares you can book right now. (whether those fares are available at last minute is another question, which is why it is so important for the organisers to state NOW whether they are contemplatic travel options or not. If not, we can at least book now and benefit from the more affordable fares.

Check the via rail bookings. If you book & pay for the tickets at least 5 days in advance, there is a significant (~40%) savings off full fare. Check with VIA for details. Use their 800 #.

Buying the ticket last minute is full fare.

Hate to think how many gallons of coke for a ticket. :D]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20467951 Mon, 12 May 2008 00:44:54 EDT Re: May 27 - be there OR BE THROTTLED http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20467827 jfmezei : >Check out this from Icoke of course you'd have to drink/claim >ur pins fast in order to get this before the deal is gone. >40% off is not a bad way to start.

It's now Saturday @ ~ 1:30EST and STILL the site says tentative. I must say, things have been poorly organized thus far. I hope "they" start to get going soon, as the 27th is just over 2 weeks from now.
Sadly, the hype for this has been slowly dissipating, mostly due to the large time interval/delay, and because of the constant changing of dates. People who cleared their schedules for the original dates are not certain if it is worth the effort to do so again, when once again the date might change.

Seriously - why is this still tentative? Who are the decision brokers who seemingly cannot make up their minds? Such indecision is leading towards a lack of confidence...

And as mentioned a kazillion times, no transport co-ordination = low turn out.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20461886 Sat, 10 May 2008 14:58:34 EDT Still not updated http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20461533 Gokuu : It's now Saturday @ ~ 1:30EST and STILL the site says tentative.
