Re: How to transfer with no down time (TSI to Start)? ok so Rogers doesn't do any 'moves' on the weekend. so don't bother doing a TPIA move on a Friday or Thursday (let alone a Saturday or Sunday). You would likely want to do it on a Monday so they can actually activate you in a decent time. Funny how Rogers was able to disconnect my other TPIA (TSI) on the weekend easily.
Start really should be warning people about this, what a waste of a weekend. |

Start really should be warning people about this, what a waste of a weekend. Wow, no kidding. That's the first slip-up we've seen for Start.ca thus far.
Bummer. |

| and of course after making that whiny post, i'm now getting an IP from Start. doesn't really change the fact that TPIAs aren't able to escalate anything to Rogers on the weekends tho.
Others should likely avoid a weekend/Friday activation since it can't be escalated and fixed with Rogers until Monday if you are going to use the same modem from your existing provider.

1 edit | My buddy who's switching this weekend saw his Teksavvy deactivated this morning (8-9am), and his Start.ca service only fired up a few minutes ago now (3pm). |

| I got a call earlier this evening, and it seems that I was misinformed and that I will in fact likely have some downtime during my transfer.
I really appreciate that Start called me to let me know that I should be prepared for 24-48 hours without Internet service. My past experience with the majors would have seen my install date come and go without a word to let me know.
Of course, I'd rather avoid the downtime altogether if at all possible, but at least I know in advance and have the opportunity to make or change plans if needed.
1/2 kudo for the heads up ... I won't take any points away for the mixup... Just hope the new service is worth the hassle.
