Re: Need Help Picking ISP

said by ReDSpideR:

Sorry, maybe i was a tad unclear, i was in a hurry.

by 5mb down minimum i meant to say, in the isp's advertisement. at least a 5mb down.

also, out of that isp list in that post a few interest me:

mnsi, Videotron and Primus.

but I do have bell homephone lines.. so i guess that renders all those options above ruled out.

I guess cable is my only choice? one with a conciderate amount of a cap (or none if thats possible :P)

Is tecsavvy any good? or would that fall into the throttled isp because i use bell land lines?

Thanks for everyones response!


OK, you've opened the door.

Most of the indie DSL ISP's do NOT throttle. Bell does that to them automatically without written consent from the indies if the indie is using Bell for the 'last mile'. Throttling (so far) occurs from 1800 hrs through 0200 hrs, or thereabouts.

Been with Teksavvy for a year. No complaints. I'm on the premium package ($30, 200GB). They also have an unlimited package ($40) plus applicable tax(es).

They're more than willing to get you the max speed your phone line can give. My old ISP was damned if they would try to help me get a faster profile. Now 50% faster (they tried for more, but the lines can't do it).

Don't know who's your cable supplier, but most of them cap at 60GB total BW.

My only other alternative is Cogeco. 60GB cap, and $53/month for a 10000/640 max capability. Too costly for my use.

Good luck in your decision.
