said by Talesavo:Funny that you should say that, since I had those problems when switching from Rogers to Tek. Sorry, Tek is behind the curve and there are better options out there, if I used your mindset, I'd still be on Rogers. If Tek has appealing offers, then I'll reconsider when those come up; I've already set the date for cancellation so unto a brave new world.
Exactly. No ISP is immune to potential issues when making a transfer, TSI included. My point is that as the connection I have with TSI is stable and the service they provide is good, switching for something that is a WANT, not a NEED seems foolish to me.
If I was getting crappy service and/or connection, and the problem was not getting resolved, leaving an ISP for a competitor makes perfect sense, TSI, Rogers, Bell whoever.... Using my mindset, you would only still be on Rogers if you were satisfied with the service you were getting from them...
That said, everyone is different. For some people, a faster upload and download are a NEED. For me, not so much. I'd love to have it, but don't require it to be satisfied with my ISP (NOTE: I'm on 28/1. If I was on some pitiful 5/800KB connection, I would not be satisfied, and a change would definitely be happening
).
So, in conclusion, for me:
Stable connection, decent speed, good service > unknown connection, higher speed, unknown service.PS: Good luck at Start. Be sure to report back on your experience so more of us can make an informed decision if the time comes for us to switch to someone else!
