Re: ikTel Networks - Niagara ISP Hmm.. Sounds great.
Doesn't iKtel cap the data at 125/200GB though (14 and 16 mbps)?
But it's only $12 extra for unlimited ;P |
|
| yep, worth the $12 |

Wow you guys use a lot of internet I don't get close to the Tb's in a month, think 350 gigs is the most I have ever used and that is with 4 devices on netflix and 2 kids watching stuff constantly! I am loving my new internet, and Allan is a easy guy to deal with! |

I'm so ditching Cogeco and jumping on this! I'm moving to Murry St. here in the Falls so I hope I can get the install timed closed to my move in date!

Can anyone explain this--supposedly iktel does not give us American ip's but I went to a site that said that according to my IP address I was located in Washington DC! It also said I was getting internet from Cogent.
I tried getting American Netflix just for fun and I got way farther along the registration process than I ever did with Cogeco.
Can anyone verify this? |

Can anyone verify this? It could be just the particular netblock you were assigned. I wouldn't think much of it. |

routing is through cogent, and *soem geoip sites use various locations but very few sites (we want an american ip for) will see us as an american ip |

It can take a very long time to get Cogent netblocks reassigned to Canadian customers properly. I think we went about four months with on block before it was finally recognized as Canadian...

I'm planning on switching from TekSavvy DSL as soon as this becomes available in Welland.
Could anyone tell me if any incoming ports are blocked (e.g 80)? I run a small web server and would like to continue being able to access it outside of my LAN. |

| reply to FiagaraNalls
Looks like port 80 is blocked. |

While it may not help you, I've moved everything I run onto non-standard ports that only myself and those who I tell know about it. Even RDP and the like. Unless you run something public, port 80 being blocked might not be that big of a deal but ultimately you're the one who needs to decide on that. |

Interesting. There is a cable outage for parts of Niagara Falls and Niagara on the Lake, with both internet and Cable TV being out completely.
I thought it would just be a Cogeco thing and Iktel would still be up, but both my cable modems have only one light on them. Cable internet is not like DSL it seems. |
