Stumped: Teksavvy Or Velcom
I really need your help to decide which ISP I should get, teksavvy or Velcom. I am looking at both there 5mbpit 800k Packages. I download a lot and game a lot. So, Which ISP is better? What are both there prices after the group discounts?

I use Teksavvy and they're great, don't think you can go wrong with both companies. Velcom's unlimited package is cheaper.

Teksavvy FTW but I haven't tried Velcom yet so I can say they're bad.

-If you'll do more than 200GB of traffic every month: Velcom
-If you'll do less than 200GB of traffic every month and would like lower latency (PEER1) for gaming: Teksavvy
They are both reliable ISPs, although Teksavvy is a bit easier to track down if issues arise (since both their techs and owners hang around on DSLReports)
You may be able to get a group discount on both...

Check your download history. Post 4&5 are correct.
Not a gamer, >200GB/m at times, therefore I am with Velcom.
Their tech support girl which I have had a couple of times (and I'm sure they have a few) has a European accent that is sometimes tricky but she is on the ball with her problem solving.
Server has gone down for a few hours of maintenance twice that I am aware of in the 4 years I've been with them.

Flip a coin to decide. I can speak from experience, both are great.

Teksavvy/PEER1 FTW!
But I haven't tried Velcom. I guess PEER1 isn't really important if your not a gamer.

There are a number of Internet Commercial Transit providers:
PEER1
Cogent
Tiscali
and others http://www.interstream.com/resources/index.html#Transit
PEER1 has lower latency...
