Re: Teksavvy Voltage motion - Looking for some advice said by resa1983:said by John Doe 187 :I agree with this. I believe the service provider should be doing something to protect their customer's interest along with their own. If they are unwilling to question such requests now how many more requests will be made to them in the future? It just seems this fight to set some precedence is worthwhile and something Teksavvy should be seeking to do.
After January 14 I will be cancelling my internet with Teksavvy and subscribing with someone else who has my best interest in mind if nothing happens. Let’s see what my service provider is willing to do for my interest right instead of the other way around.
Bell, Cogeco & Videotron didn't fight a court order from Voltage in Sept 2011 back when they could have easily argued privacy rights & evidence issues based on the 2004 decision. Other TPIA providers decided not to fight November 2012. Before this 'neutral' requirement in the act which indemnifies them from liability from their customers' downloading. It wasn't in place til end of Nov I think? They wouldn't have been held liable for their customer's downloading practices no matter what. As for now, they have to be 'neutral' whatever the hell that is, with no described standard for what 'neutral' is, and what ISPs can or can't do while remaining immune from liability. Other ISPs have larger windows in which they keep IP address info.. I'm just curious who you plan on going with.. (No, I'm not being sarcastic.. I'm curious as to who you think will do better than Teksavvy in protecting your privacy). Comparing in that context is a far cry. Just because the big 3 do or don't do something doesn't mean it's ok for TSI to do or not to do something.
Isn't TSI different? I'm not even arguing about privacy or IP issues, just your argument. Quit comparing TSI to them. Everyone should quit comparing Teksavvy to anyone. They're not comparable, period.
If one user chooses to leave, doesn't mean we all should debate what one or the other did and didn't do. This is about Teksavvy. It really doesn't matter who they go with, it's not them Voltage is after right now, and Teksavvy may be Voltages go to ISP for for some time to come. |

| I agree to this. I mean you cave the first time they will come for seconds, thirds, etc... Voltage and company are hungry to recoup revenue they would have never made in the first place and exploiting the court system to do so. It’s sad but the old dollar bill rules.
That alone is enough reason for me to leave TSI. Weather there is a better ISP out there is not relevant but I choose to believe something else must be better. I choose TSI because they fought for bandwidth and now there is another fight coming and they unwilling to go the extra mile so I like them can make a decision too. |

And what about my comparison of the TPIA providers who didn't fight back in Nov 2012?

Compare bell, rogers, telus all you like, they're in eachothers pockets... but TSI is a whole new ball game. They are absolutely different and moves they make every year will define them 10 years from now. |

I agree. I signed up with TSI because they claimed to be different and care about their customers. This lack of action in my opinion does not support their claims.
Maybe doing nothing won't hurt TSI and maybe it will but for myself I rather go with another ISP. Which ISP that will be is unknown and I don’t have the time to worry about now. But I do know is I am not staying with them after Jan 14th or when I get this matter dealt with. Maybe I won't be sheltered by the new ISP, maybe I will, I am not sure, but what I do know is if the trolls know you are willing to give up your customers… be prepared for them to come back again and again... I for one don't want to stick around for the second dinner! |
