TekSavvy was never all unlimited, in fact they always had a limit, only until transit got cheaper and they got more customers they were able to offer unlimited on the cheaper cogent bandwidth. -- F**K THE NHL.

TSI Marc Premium,VIP join:2006-06-23 Chatham, ON kudos:14	reply to King Sull I've got a BB Z10 on the way.. Anxious for the Q10. Had a BB bold up until about 4 months ago.. When the iPhone 5 came out. Held off as long as I could.. My bold kept going on the fritz.. I'll be happy to come back home though. -- Marc - CEO/TekSavvy

But as I understand it, being on CBB essentially creates the possibilty to do proper pricing. So I wonder if it should all be unlimited, if costed properly.

TSI Marc Premium,VIP join:2006-06-23 Chatham, ON kudos:14	reply to HiVolt Hum. No... We've always had unlimited.. But then in 2007 Bell cancelled all their unlimited packages and forced many heavy users to us.. At that time we did that whole cogent routing thing for unlimited and did peer1 routing with a 200 gig cap. But, you know not everybody needs or wants unlimited.. So we will always have unlimited.. The same as we always have. That another reason we didn't launch Cogeco right away.. We didn't want to put something out there that wasn't unlimited. So today the idea is to give options to people.. I kind of like the three tiers of usage for any given speed. -- Marc - CEO/TekSavvy

slidebite join:2012-12-07 Lethbridge, AB 1 edit	reply to TSI Marc I agree. Even though my monthly usage is almost certainly under 100GB, I will happily pay the premium for peace of mind if nothing else. That and I loathe Telus. :d

TSI Marc Premium,VIP join:2006-06-23 Chatham, ON kudos:14	reply to bbiab It is less simple for sure though... I suppose if it became obvious that it was just complicated for no reason... We'd adjust accordingly... -- Marc - CEO/TekSavvy

TSI Marc Premium,VIP join:2006-06-23 Chatham, ON kudos:14	reply to slidebite At the end of the day, the idea is to offer options that you guys want and we adjust according to that. And not the other way around where we offer you what we want and try to force you into a compromise.. Of course the money of it needs to add up but that's figured out after we agree on what ppl are looking for... -- Marc - CEO/TekSavvy

At that time we did that whole cogent routing thing for unlimited and did peer1 routing with a 200 gig cap. Heh I remember those days. Though I think at the time it was 100GB for peer1 and unlimited for cogent. I remember r0cky endlessly answering users in here using the analogy of it's a different "onramp" to the internet. Fun to think that my TSI cap has gone from 100 to 200 to 300 over time, without me ever having to do anything. LOVE this company

Ah cool. my memory just wasnt clear... it was a while ago now hehe... I first remember when i joined TSI, was when you guys offered the $10 unlimited logins, early in 2007. I wanted to try out the network before i switched from Bhell... Glad I did when they started their caps & throttling shenanigans... MLPPP was a real bonus for those throttled years... -- F**K THE NHL. Go Blue Jays 2013!!!

TSI Marc Premium,VIP join:2006-06-23 Chatham, ON kudos:14	reply to PlatooN You know, it might well have been 100 and 200 came after. Trying to remember why. Oh, I remember.. It's when we started charging a different rate for unlimited... Initially it was all unlimited.. One price... Then you had two option.. Unlimited cogent or 100gig peer1, then it became 200gig and unlimited for $10 more. Ironic that the incumbents chose $10 now that I think of it. It's like full circle! -- Marc - CEO/TekSavvy

Johnster join:2011-05-24	reply to levesque739 I've read through this entire thread, and find it very interesting for one main reason; I'm about to cancel with Bell and I'm leaning towards signing up with TekSavvy, is there anything about this pending decision which would make it advisable for me to wait until it comes out to make my decision? I really dont need unlimited, and if prices drop I'm sure I can take advantage of it as TSI is month to month. The only think I can think of is if the decision is favourable to companies like TSI, then perhaps Bell will make me a sweeter offer to stay. Am I wrong? Cheers
