My roommate's mother just got off the phone and for some reason Teksavvy internet is not available to me. I live not even a kilometer from Algonquin COllege. |

| I do not currently have a phone number.
Edit: I do not know my future address but I just put in Algonquin College's and it says it does not know if it is available. I find it extremely unlikely that the area I'm going to be living in does not have Bell service. |

you might be forced to use the "on campus" provider if that's where you're living.
Call in to the teksavvy support and ask them, give them address details, etc. |

Well, I am not being served yet because I do not live there yet but my roommate was told that only 512 service was available there. |

Funny I just posed in the direct forums the other day to check on this area, I'm moving there in a few weeks. One of the TSI guys checked several lines in my building (as I don't know the exact address) and said 512 was probably the best I could get 
Even with two lines that would suck pretty bad, and I think the only other option in the area would be Rogers. Rogers who have hard caps and throttle worse than Bell from what I hear (tho it may vary).
If you find anything more out, post it here, I'd be glad to have some more options. |

So, is this just due to line quality or is it something else? |

No plans for expansions either. Have you tried any other provider's in the area? i.e. Rogers I guess? I tried them years ago. When I had them it went down at least once a month and I never got the advertised speed. I'm not sure if they're any better now but I know they've had to expand and upgrade because pretty much everyone uses Rogers around here. There is also 3web for cable but their service isn't too good support wise.
