Naes posted:Anyway my question is; If I were to sign up for Teksavvy cable internet, would I be able to use the Motorola Surfboard modem which I have? Is it "locked" to videotrons network? Can I reset it or something? Ideally I want to get Teksavvy internet without having to buy a modem if I can use the one I have.

I tested it out and I have Star Trek up and it switched to HD!! Not even the loving Canadian one did this, I watched Exit Through the Give Shop earlier today and it never switched up.

Constellation I posted:What e-mail? I guess if I choose in the sign-up form that I have Rogers and it asks for my disconnect date, that it's explicit that I'm doing a transfer of service isn't it? If not, I'll try to find a form to put that in I guess. quote:Yeah, this is what was confusing me. Seems like from what I've read online, a lot of people switched to TekSavvy the way you did. But I've also read that for some of them, a Rogers tech actually came and physically cut the line at their cable box during/after their disconnect date. i.e. If you connect the same day, then all TekSavvy has to do is order Rogers to merely transfer the service to them through the exact same connection line except using the info regarding the new modem. There is a potential for something to still go wrong in the paperwork but it's less likely and under most circumstances nobody needs to be sent to your cable box. Alternately, if you keep both lines running, the following issues could pop up: - The day of your connection to TekSavvy, a contractor is sent to your house with an order to connect you to cable service and finds you are already connected, is confused and thinks there was a mistake, so instead of giving you a seperate line he just leaves it as is and marks the job as completed on the form. - The day of your disconnection to Rogers, another contractor goes to your house with a brief form that probably just tells him that you need to be disconnected from cable with no other info. Seeing as having two seperate cable connections going through the same line to the same building is extremely unorthodox, disconnecting you from it completely seems like the rational thing for him to do. That's why I think the people on DSLReports that insist on overlapping them are probably creating the headache they think they are mitigating. As for disconnections after the fact, it's probably because they are doing work in the area, and again, all their report says is that you no longer subscribe to Rogers so they mistakenly think someone forgot to shut you off. That could happen either way. I also put a note on my cable box that says something along the lines of "TPIA SUBSCRIBER. DO NOT DISCONNECT. CALL XXXXX FOR MORE INFO" as some people have suggested. kuddles fucked around with this message at 20:51 on Nov 14, 2011 |

The Dark One posted:I guess it's time to pack up this thread. Rogers commisioned a study that found that Canada's internet service is actually great! Considering that Rogers doesn't even offer a plan less than $35.99 (which doesn't include all their additional service fees), I find that tidbit kind of funny. Is there some place in Canada offering a $5 broadband plan to help come up with that average?

Add another user of unblock-us who loves it. The only major hassle I had was that I needed to delete and then re-download the Netflix app on my PS3 because the Canadian and US versions of the app are different. Also, I can't rent movies off the PS3 Store anymore (it gives me a DNS error message) but I'm not even certain that it's related and now that I have access to Vudu I don't miss it anyways.

I noticed that the main website of unblock-us pretty much removes all information regarding what most people would plan to do with it, including within the testimonials. I wonder if they got in trouble somewhere or what was the reasoning for it.Sprawl posted:oh i was ready for the $200 pre billed and everything was fine.... Lone Rogue posted:Worst part is a horrid lack of good Canadian content (it's basically just Kids in the Hall. Where's Reboot, Hardcore Logo, Made in Canada, Smoggies, Are you Afraid of the Dark, etc.?), some weak choices on new releases and a dog poo poo selection of comedies/stand up specials. I do like how they add failed TV shows. That's cool. kuddles fucked around with this message at 18:41 on Apr 10, 2012 |

Vintersorg posted:I had some trouble with unblock-us where suddenly I wasn't able to access sites like Facebook or Google. After taking out their custom DNS and making it automatically come in (this is all at the router level) things would work. Anyone else experience this? I haven't turned it on for a while now because of that. I still pay since it's only $5 a month.

Just a friendly reminder that overage fees are a necessity because our bandwidth is being clogged up and it's not at all just an additional revenue stream that is essentially pure profit.

Weird. I also use unblock-us, but recently I've been sticking with the Canadian Netflix more often than the US. Community, Justified, and a whole crapload of newer releases that aren't on the US version as well as a lot of classics like Das Boot. That said, I'm sure this is partially a "grass is always greener" feeling and that the selection is paltry. Probably because our licensing up here is garbage. I know zip.ca and a few other competitors have completely dropped their plans on making a competing service. thexerox123 posted:It definitely doesn't have everything. I did a search in that first link for The X-Files, which I've been watching on Netflix in Canada, and it didn't come up. Same with Misfits.

I went with Start instead of TekSavvy when I moved a couple years back. Customer service is fantastic. I occasionally have bandwidth issues with streaming stuff like Netflix in the early evenings, but not sure if it's my actual connection that is causing it. Other than that, it works great! This is in a Rogers area, though.

After unblock-us stopped working for the second time, I went with ViperDNS. Takes a little longer for the streaming to bump all the way up for Netflix, but other than that, it has been working without issue so far. They're also one of the few sites still bragging on their website that accessing US content is exactly what their business is for, so that makes me a little more confident, but obviously at this point in time, I'm not taking a chance on an annual membership.

The appeal was pretty desperate in the first place. As if the Liberal government was going to eliminate a industry regulation that the Conservative government thought was necessary.

Is there one of those sticks/mini-boxes with a remote that works with Netflix, Crave and Amazon Prime TV? I feel like every time I research this I come up with 2 out of 3.

I ended up picking up the new 4K Fire Stick and it's working perfectly for what I need it for. Another option would have been the Apple TV I guess, but as someone who uses a Windows computer and an Android phone I guessed that there might be some annoyances down the line.
