Dones join:2008-02-14 Toronto, ON	reply to epsilon3 How can Teksavvy afford to offer the 150Mbps tier at a reasonable price when 100Mbps cost them $1251/month??? of course people wont be maxing the connection 24/7, but I wouldn't expect anything over 50Mbps during peak.

As you said, it's the peak usage that matters which is the average between the "heavy" and "light" user. The larger the customer base they have, the more stable the peak usage will be (unless everyone gets a speed bump). If there's only five 150Mbps users out of 100,000 users, they're hardly going to affect the peak usage. They won't have to upgrade the links significantly to accommodate the "heavy" users. That being said, if 25% of the user base wants to upgrade to the 150Mbps tier, then it's not affordable for TSI. That's why the pricing is very important. Low enough to be competitive and high enough to recuperate the operating cost (and to keep everyone from upgrading).

eeeaddict join:2010-02-14	For some reason I don't see them offering it, but on the other hand EVERYONE that I've heard who had an intrest for that package really only wanted the faster upload and wouldn't that make ZERO DIFFERENCE to TSI because of the asymmetrical upload speeds? oh and a 10GB file would take only 8 minutes to get so unless they download for the sake of doing it I don't see usage being too crazy

This is not the way I would think about it, but I guess it makes a certain amount of sense. Only if you assume usage caps and overage billing though. There is no chance there will ever be unlimited at that speed unless capacity costs come way way down. -- electronicsguru.ca

mikee join:2012-12-21 Gloucester, ON	I'm sure all cable users can agree we're lacking a lot of upload speed... It's 2012 canada needs to catch up to europe/japan/south korea etc. I don't know why we can't get 100mbps up & down for 50-60$ a month like those countries, super lame.

ObviousGuy @teksavvy.com	reply to mikee Really? You don't know why Canada lags behind those countries (and Europe is fairly broad - some countries (e.g. nordic) have great internet speeds, but others are atrocious)? Here's a hint: geography and population density (not to mention lack of competition).

Here's a hint: geography and population density (not to mention lack of competition). Population density in the cities is high enough.. I mean hell.. If they were worried about that, they could always just decide to string up condos & apartment buildings first.. Instead they're treating it like an experiment (as if FTTH isn't going to be wide-spread), and only installing FTTH in new neighbourhoods being constructed in the outskirts of Toronto. You'd think they'd even do FTTH in the richer areas of Toronto (Bridle Path, etc), but nada. -- Battle.net Tech Support MVP

I have never understood why the BIG BOYS can't do it if they can. Because the big boys have billions of dollars in existing infrastructure they don't want to tear up until they have to e.g. competition or equipment depreciation.

Here's a hint: geography and population density (not to mention lack of competition). That's a BS argument. Canada has many cities with varying population densities. You don't have to upgrade the entire country - it is quite vast, but you could pick a place and go from there. I love that Rogers was finally upgrading their infrastructure this year (although my download speed is still 1/2 of the promised speed due to area congestion AKA Rogers putting too many people on the same node to save some money). Even with all the upgrades and essentially charging them to the customers with the usual yearly price increases, they still manage to rip people off with their plans.

bdoyledimou join:2002-08-20 Markham, ON	reply to eeeaddict which ignore the fact that 90% of the Canadian populace lives within a 200 km band along the us border -- and also that some 2nd world countries in Europe (say Portugal) offer 45mbps cable and dsl to homes in the MOUNTAINS -- hard to get more remote than that
