Teksavvy+mlppp

[lcdguy]

well i have finally gotten my mlppp up and running with 2x5MB DSL lines using mlppp. And let's just say. IT'S FREAKING AMAZING.

Really i can't think of a better deal. It's super easy to setup and very reasonably priced. Also did i mention i can now download at up to 1.0 MB/s. yup. I am so gitty right now.

and to prove it. here is a screen shot of a "real world" download test.



Also here are some gratuitous speed test results.





teksavvy's speed test

Very nice. Wish I could afford another connection.

I'd love to get a second connection. Did you use a WRT54Gx with Tomato or did you set it up through Windows or a Linux/BSD router? Awesome speeds though, I'm extremely jealous.

That is awsome, it is well worth it for anyone who shares their connection with a bunch of people. Or for excessive use of P2P. Does it double your bandwith too? So instead of the 200gb cap, you get 400gb?

Wish i was close enough to the CO. I can barely keep a 2 meg connection stable on GAS! I Had to go with Rogers unfortunately, nice though!

1. i combined the premium accounts so my total limit is 400GB
2. I use a wrt54GL router with the tomato firmware from fixppp.org

Out of curiosity how much is one connection ?

Also, I cant seem to find anything from tecksavvy and any e-mail I got from them seemed to indicate that it was allright but, I have CablePhone from videotron and was wondering if I could still get a DSL conection from them. Radioactive.com are saying that they cant give me dsl if I have cablephone and was not sure if Techsavvy could.

[lcdguy]

well you if you could get a bell dsl chances are you can get teksavvy.

i pay 2 different prices since one is a wet loop and one is a dry.

on the wet i pay 29.99 for 5meg dsl on the dry i pay 29.99+9.50 band rate. so in the end it's around 69 bucks plus tax. i aso combined the bandwidth on the premium accounts so it toals 400GB.if you only want a single line get the unlimited for 39.99 for wet as it's a better deal.

Damn, you are making me jealous! I'm currently with Teksavvy and have a dry loop, so I wonder if I can have 2 connections on one dry loop. I should be able to in theory since I'm only using one set of twisted pairs. I'll have to look into that :) It wouldn't be worth it to pay extra for a second dry loop though but an extra 20 a month (I currently pay $10 more for unlimited which I can ditch if I end up with 400gigs download, hence the $20 difference) for double the speed would be excellent.

You would still need a second dry loop isntalled just on the other pair. with 1 wet and 1 dry i pay 69+tax for my internet.
