So if I want the speed of Rogers, but better upload  and usage caps, TekSavvy is the way to go? (Ontario)

His big idea was to start paying attention to call statistics and publicly list everyone's numbers so we could have friendly competition. Bell/Rogers/Telus/Shaw mole- to sabotage the business.

Now that I have a Visa debit card from my bank (been using a lovely Money Mart Visa because I'm poor), what can ya'll tell me, about how easy/hard it's been; switching from loving Rogers™, to TekSavvy?

A c E posted:Hopefully you have a backup plan for internet for the first week because Rogers will make sure the switch is botched and you will have downtime. They do this anytime I've made any changes to my service, between cutting lines or kicking my modem off the DCHP server. This is assuming you are going from Rogers Cable to TekSavvy Cable I have a Kindle and I haven't played the single player on any CoD game since MW2. I'll be able to occupy my time.

It took me ten days, but I'm on TekSavvy, and couldn't be happier. I can actually complete speedtests, and vids on the Arirang TV app for my Samsung no longer randomly stop playing. Also, 300gb limit vs. 120gb for only two-thirds the price.  gently caress you Rogers, you lazy, anti-competitive, corrupt, overpriced, piece of poo poo.

ZShakespeare posted:Netflix is having a lot of their better content removed because the rights holders are realizing what a cash cow netflix is and they want more money. Quality content is disappearing daily. Yeah, even the US version is slowly turning into direct-to-video garbage. Pulling the Slayers anime last year was the final straw for me. I'm down to Crunchyroll, the occasional CinemaNow rental, and the usual Canadian fallbacks for lack of streaming content.

Rogers has been horrifically unreliable for me, starting about two years ago. Then it got even worse last summer, and I was, "One more chance for this abusive, piece of poo poo husband of an ISP," I switched In January, and the stability and signal quality was immediately, significantly improved. Packet loss down, prices down, and speeds back up. I've been with them since '05. gently caress Rogers. gently caress their anti-consumer cartel with the other ISPs.

Oxyclean posted:Is this the right place to say "gently caress Rogers"? Because I went to check their packages to see if anything had changed, making me eligible for a better bandwidth cap or something, and they've changed all their packages to "Hybrid Fibre" - I can't really tell what's different from the packages they offered a few months to a year ago, besides the name, price increase and possibly a cap reduction? The system they use to measure data use is always 24-48 hours behind, too. I hope you don't like downloading on the ragged edge of the caps... gently caress Rogers. There is always a price increase, and it is always worse. Rogers delenda est.

TekSavvy is the most polished turd, unless you're the bourgeoisie and can get actual fibre. TekSavvy 30/5, 400gb cap - $54.99 Rogers 30/5, 270gb cap - $79.99 + Shomi - +$8.99 & counts against your cap Small Business plan 30/5, Unlimited cap, 3 year term - $64.99 Not even a contest, and I'd rather deal with TekSavvy's tech support than Rogers'. gently caress them and the cartel. Rogers delenda est.

Second, there's more than one way to legally obtain media, I don't know why I need to care that bell media isn't getting their cut so long as the content creators do. Third, even if I did know where to rent poo poo from I probably wouldn't, because the people actually making the show don't get anything from me.

My theory is that the city has the critical mass of - non-computer savvy - low data cap - ignorant about VPNs - poo poo-tier cable people to support it.
