Net gods not smiling Sean M Puckett 11/2 '14

Thought we'd have net at home yesterday, turns out the tech will come Monday morning instead. Two days without connectivity. We can do this.

And we're back. Some screwup at the neighbourhood level made it more painful than it had to be. But now we've got 25/10 which is much faster than we had for about the same price.

Yay! What provider did you switch to? We wound up having to switch to cable in order to get faster speeds in our area- no fibe, and the dsl just isn't that fast here.

Teksavvy DSL, moving from Execulink.

Last year Bell did a lot of upgrading, probably as part of the LRT utility work, and DSL in the area moved up to the next tier. Our new modem's diagnostics says our wire could handle 66Mbps down and 30Mbps up, but I'm not gonna pay for that. Our package is $40 for up to 300GB, and if we start to exceed that regularly we can move to unlimited for $55.

Execulink's fastest DSL offering maxes out at 15/10 for more money than our new Teksavvy plan, which makes no sense to me because they're all using Bell for delivery. I told the Execulink "customer retention specialist" that if they could offer comparable service and price I'd love to stay with them. But they couldn't. Oh well!

Nice. We were on Teksavvy DSL, but had to switch to Teksavvy cable to get the speed upgrade (and I needed faster upstream speed to effectively work from home, since I upload video for work fairly regularly). I've been really pleased with Teksavvy though, we've been using them for 9 years now!

Alas! Oh well, it's like losing power, kind of fun for a little while, I suppose. Hope everything goes smoothly tomorrow!
