[DSL] is 15M/1M DSL a typo?I know Teksavvy resells Bell DSL and I noticed they have a 15M/10M service? However on the Teksavvy sight they have only a 15M/1M service, is this a type or is Bell only offering a 1M upstream service to Teksavvy perhaps?
Thanks |

TSI is only offering 15/1 and 25/10. |

The price difference for Teksavvy (and therefore you, the customer) between 15/10 and 25/10 is negligible. |

True except the 25/10 has a mandatory rental of a new Sagemcom modem whereas the 15/1 still uses my speedtouch that I bought a while ago. The modem rental is $8 a month which I assume is part of the monthly $52/month? If so then it indeed is the better choice. I'll put my speedtouch up for sale on craigslist then. |

The $8 rental is on top of the price. So you have to add it on. It is a rather misleading thing, because it is required and there's no ifs or buts, you have to rent it. |

True. Its just that renting your own equipment is just a sick concept. |

TSI does NOT resell HBELL internet . They use HBELLS last mile to reach your home , otherwise they have their own equipment .... |

So you're saying that Teksavvy is no longer TPIA and that now they are an incumbent with their own proprietary transmission lines and equipment? This is truly great news indeed. No longer a middleman and finally stepping up to the plate. |

Dig ONCE and build CONDUITS and access buildings and share them all between TPIA's. Not cheap but if they work together... who knows. |

Not that this was related to me original question But that's ok I like the conversation. I believe it's only Google in Kansas City that hopes to lay their own last mile. All other resellers need the last mile by the incumbents with the infrastructure. |

No longer a middleman and finally stepping up to the plate. Even if it was affordable to set up a 3rd last-mile network, municipal governments wouldn't allow it. Teksavvy operates their own equipment between the incumbent last-mile and the tier 1 providers. It is not practically or legally possible to go any further with a physically cabled network at the moment, other than fibre investments too expensive for just about anyone but Rogers, Bell and Teuls (and Google, I suppose). |
