I do believe that Rocky said that they worked with Yak on that.
He did but he was uncharacteristically vague about the details. See here.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20810736 Fri, 18 Jul 2008 08:54:46 EDT Re: Yak, Teksavvy, Acanac, Primus??? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20810114 Guspaz : They're a TekSavvy wholesaler rather than a reseller. So they're buying bandwidth in bulk from TekSavvy and playing the numbers game, betting that the average consumption will be such that they can make a profit at $34.95 per month.

I could be wrong, though. I do believe that Rocky said that they worked with Yak on that.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20810114 Fri, 18 Jul 2008 02:42:39 EDT Re: Yak, Teksavvy, Acanac, Primus??? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20810111 d0rmamu :

Yak resells/wholesales TekSavvy
Didn't know that.

So of the four, you should probably look at TekSavvy and Acanac.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20800706 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 14:05:45 EDT Re: Yak, Teksavvy, Acanac, Primus??? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20800592 KC : Primus probably got the best package (voice/dsl/long distance), unlimited bandwidth, but their tech support really suck. If you KNOW you have stable DSL, then I would go with them, but dealing with tech support stills send shivers down my spine.....
I'm with them now, been for the pass 13 year (before dsl) voice and long distance are solid.
Did I say tech support sucks!

My TS service is 200G cap for $30. I was worried at first about that, but after a few months, I realized I had a long way to go before I even came close.

They also have an unlimited plan (no cap) for $40.

Nice part: no contracts, unlike a lot of others.

DSL is dependent on how far you are from the telco central offuce. Stoney Creek's CO is on Lake St. near King. If you're north of the QEW or above the escarpment, you may have difficulties. Punch in your phone # at:

»www.bell.ca/shopping/PrsShpInt_N···Type=NEW

to see if DSL is available.

I've been with Teksavvy since December, & been happy.

I am in the market for a new ISP. My current provider Cogeco, altho fast, has too many restriction and has now increased their rates making them just too expensive aswell. As for using Bell..........I rather send/read smoke signals to get my world wide information.

From what I have researched there are a few companies offering bundles including phone, long distance and ISP. Teksavvy seems to be very popular on this board, but does anyone have any information on some of the other providers out there.

Thank you in advance for any information.
