Planning to use Teksavvy DSL
Since cable is not offered in my area I suppose I would downgrade from 10 mbps to 5 mbps in return for my bandwidth.
A few questions:
1) Should I just buy the modem from Teksavvy to save myself the headache from searching for my own modem or would it be best to get my own modem? Is the $75 one sufficient?
2) If I have a phone jack in the living room, would I be able to place the modem there once service is up and just plug and play my current router to get wireless running?
3) How do they calculate dry-loop rates?
4) I don't think the house was ever set up by Bell for anything (1 year old house), I think the lines are outside my house but they haven't been hooked up yet, will this be a problem? Will the Teksavvy technician run the lines for free assuming there is no installation fees?
5) Anything else I should know?
After being a cable user for 8 years, I've decided it would be best to know what I am getting into before making the jump... Otherwise I sign up with Rogers again...
