Re: TekSavvy - glorified reseller, not ISP said by LondonOntGuy:I think it's quite obvious, if you're in a Robbers market, don't even think about going to Teksavvy or any other third party reseller for cable because you'll be in a world of hurt when it comes to internet access. If your job depends on a solid internet connection, you'll need back-up DSL, which makes the cable pointless and just a needless and expensive option.
Again I have to disagree, I'm on Distributel, since they bought 3web a few years back my connection has been ROCK SOLID. I don't think I've called them (except to bitch about a speed issue and it was my News provider). Have their been disconnections? A few, I tether my phone till it comes back up and all is good.
So again, is it Rogers or is is TSI? I'm travelling over the same lines, to the same POI as the TSI customers, yet I don't seem to experience the issues many others here do.

No, I didn't. Honest... I ran out of gas. I... I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake....... |

Why? I simply posted a fact, you may feel differently and you're entitled to that. I didn't slag TSI,I simply pointed out that a blanket statement that all TPIA providers suck is wrong.

kudos:14 | Sorry dude. It's not a "fact", install TekSavvy cable in parallel and then we can compare. Apples and Oranges.
Each node is different.
We have plenty of capacity on our side, yet, here we are.

Marc, if I'm on Distributel, and my neighbour is on Teksavvy,and he has a problem and I don't what that does say? Does that say that TPIA providers are the problem, or that Teksavvy is the problem?

If your neighbour is having problems on TekSavvy but you're not and you're both on the same node. Something is going on for sure. I'd love to hear about that. That's going on right now?

kudos:14 | get him to do a traceroute and you do the same, try to see if you have the same node.
can you ask him to PM us his info so we can look at what's going on?
it could be all sorts of things.. could be wiring, could be a router, could be PC issues. Maybe he's surfing places you're not and those places are slower.
There is nothing but speculation that can be said based on this info. Something is going on. What it is, is unknown.

That being said, this issue of two homes with totally different experiences despite presumably being on the same node has come up before, and it's interesting. No matter what the two services are, there should be no difference so long as they're on the same profile and there's no POI congestion or weird downstream issues. I'd love to hear what, if anything, comes out of the situation elwoodblues describes. |

100% agree. In fact, this should be true of Rogers customers also... we should have threads about that. Now that would be interesting.

I know I'm on McNicol, he could have been moved to Comstock,but how can I tell? Should show up in a tracert...though sometimes the naming can confuse. Either way though, the whole node would move so it wouldn't necessarily help identify the problem. Now if it got moved to Comstock but Distributel didn't have equipment there, THAT could cause some weirdness. |

Post a traceroute to say google.ca, we will see if you're on McNicol and we should also be able to see what Node you're on.
Mongoose, can you do it too for fun?
