Hi,
I am currently with Rogers and pay $35.99/mo for the hi-speed lite package with 15GB limit. I usually use up 6-7 GB/month and have my own modem. This package is slow at times especially when I watch TV shows online. I need to cut back on my expenses so I'd appreciate some suggestions re new provider. Thanks!
Switch to teksavvy and you'll get more for less.
Link to their website is: http://teksavvy.com/en/default.asp
I totally agree with blackstaffer, unlimited band width and I pay 45.14 a month including taxes !!!!:top:
Teksavvy all the way!!!!!!!!
Teksavvy sucks, horrible customer service. I use Rogers, can't beat their 100% reliability.
I have been a Teksavvy customer for 15 months. I use their internet and home phone services and have never had a problem with them even when I forget to pay my bill. My internet has never gone down for more then 5 minutes and they warn customers well in advance when they are doing network upgrades. They also support internet freedom and fair pricing for consumers and actively fight Bell and Rogers on internet usage caps at the CRTC.
Truthfully as long as you purchase your own modem and can hook it up Ive never had an issue with Teksavvy my daughter went to them for her apartment now as well I have gone to them for the phone as well no problems unlimited long distance as well in North America Tekksavvy has 24 hr support as well in case your not sure how to hook yourself up or you can buy a modem from them its up to you .....
CIK net provider is pretty good. I've been using it for 2 years.
Just a heads up to everyone, TekSavvy is going to be raising its prices by about 3$ because of the increased costs due to the CRTC ruling on UBB. Basically, they are backdoor UBB'ing them....at least for now.
Most of the resellers are increasing pricing :(
I agree! at least with Rogers, you get the service and reliability.... you pay for what you get.Quote:

It pays to actually research your options. So many people are being taken for their money and they think they are getting a deal.
My rogers+bell bill was $170 a month for phone, internet, cable before I had enough with their ridiculous price increases. That's not even including the times I went over the internet cap and had to pay $25 (was the cap at the time, now its $50!)
Now I subscribe to NO services from rogers/bell and pay $46/month for dsl with 300GB limit and $0/month for my VOIP phone which has free long distance in canada and a plethora of call features that would cost an arm and a leg on crappy Bell.
No one could ever convince me to return to those two horrible companies who are in obvious collusion.
I absolutely accede with blackstaffer, absolute bandage amplitude and I pay 45.14 a ages including taxes !!!!
Switch to teksavvy and you'll get more for less.
hi i need the a cheap connection with unlimited + 4MB speed
This is too good. If you read my earlier rant post you see how I mention Bell/Rogers continuously increase their prices every year...
Well this just in Rogers customers! Your bill will be going up for Internet, Home phone AND CABLE on March 1st 2012
Here are the internet increases:
Express will increase from $46.99 to $48.99
Extreme will increase from $59.99 to $61.99
Extreme Plus will increase from $69.99 to $71.99
You can view Home Phone and Cable increases here:
www.rogers.com/next
All phone services will be going up $2 and same for the cable packages, with some of the VIP movie packs going up $4 each!
I am so happy I got rid of all Rogers services over a year ago. This just makes me laugh. Like clockwork every friggin year March 1st...enjoy your price increase!
Also try www.distributel.ca
oh I didn't know that Rogers was increasing prices. I just signed a retention contract with them so I wonder if the prices are locked in.
Tek Saavy is also increasing their price. They blame Rogers and Bell for it...
Yes, it was mentioned in post #9 - my bill will be going up nearly $5 with taxes
nope. your prices will be going up too.Quote:

Thanks.
I've been with Teksavvy on their DSL package since February 2010, and yes I am quite happy. I've never had to call in and I am lucky to live close to a Bell CO (central office) so I get full speeds.Quote:

My Teksavvy plan is 6Mbit/300GB a month and I pay $31.95 + tax a month for it (going up to 34.99 in February thanks to the new CRTC UBB ruling). The cap is a lot better as I NEVER go over it, but still do 150GB or so. Which on Rogers would be an extra $50 every single month.
Still beats what I was paying Rogers. I believe I was paying $42.99 for Extreme (20% off for 1 year) and then usually another $25 for going over the cap (this was the max cap at the time, when they increased to $50 is when I had enough).
Go for primus. its the best for downloading!
This is really awesome, i am paying $60 every month to stupid Bell. I am gonna cancel my Bell connection right nowQuote:

So the price increase is not a huge deal for me at all for the level of service.
Hi all,
Thanks for the info & suggestions. Glad that others are thinking of switching providers too.
I won a Boxee box (worth about $190) from Teksavvy through their Twelve Days of Christmas Giveaways contest. I was impressed that I got an email from their Marketing & Communications Director on the same day that I submitted my entry saying that I won the prize. I'll definitely switch now as I'll use my computer more now to watch free shows and movies.
Wow that's awesome. I own one of those. I love it!Quote:
