In search of a new ISP

[Lanboy]

I have Teksavvy on DSL for a little bit than a month, I pay for 5 mb/s and I reach only 2.5 mb/s , on my second line I have Sympatico, I pay for 7 mb/s and I reach 6 mb/s , the 2 lines are on the samehouse . I have the Bell one since 5 years, I install the Teksavvy because I need a fix IP, I was supposed to drop Bell after, unfortunately I will have to keep Bell and Teksavvy, as 2,5 is way too slow, You can’t hate more Bell than me, but in my place it’s the only option for performance.

Teksavvy +1 , have switched to them from Bell. I have been using Rogers before that. Both Bell and Rogers like to tell their customers what they can and cannot do with their internet connection and basically act as a parent. Teksavvy on the other hand actually lets its customers know about planned outages and sometimes even says what they are planning to do in those outages. I have used them for business and for personal use and cannot complain too much. I have had problem with teksavvy where my router was not configured properly but that was my mistake.

I can't say that I'd recommend teksavvy right now. Head over to dslreports and look at the swath of problems from poor installs, 2-3 hour wait times and outages. Roger's and Bell are to blame, but that means I would advise against teksavvy right now. They need to get these issues worked out.

I just waited over 4 days to get my Teksavvy connection fixed. Most of the Teksavvy customers were affected by the outage, while Teksavvy tried to get Rogers' attention.
