Want to Switch to Tekksavvy but have some doubts with DSL...

Right now I keep on knocking back and forth the idea of switching from Rogers to DSL because of the intense throttling i've been getting. But the problem is that when i did have DSL like 4 years ago I could only reach speeds up to 512kbps even when i was paying for a 5mbps service. My area couldnt support high DSL speeds so i was forced to use Rogers. I looked up my phone number on the bell website and it said that I'm eligable for the 2mbps or 6mbps service. But that's what they told me 4 years ago so I can't really trust them.

Is there any way to figure out what speeds ill be getting from tekksavvy before switching over? I just don't want to switch over to tekksavvy and be paying for 5mbps and only getting 1 or 2 mbps. Plus i have VOIP which just makes matters worse. And then i would have to go back to Rogers and pay all these extra installation fees.

Ask the guys in the Direct forum for Teksavvy. They'll run some checks and tell you ballpark what you can expect.

If any of your neighbors have DSL it would be a good idea just to ask them what type of speeds they get.
