Sympatico High Speed Dry Loop for 7mb/1mb, 60GB cap = 26.95, modem inc, NO CONTRACT

[Buggy166]

those of you on teksavvy, are you buying the modems from them or are you getting them elsewhere for cheap?

bought it from them 1.5 yrs ago...its paying for itself really...and i bought the rogers one for cable which ive had for over 3-4 years prior. Now if i switch, i dont need to buy any new modems unless the speed is higher than 10mb/s

Teksavvy, DSL only.

There is no good deal for dry loop. prepare to tack $8-10 on top of 29.99. Try Acanac, good price, crappy customer service

I have been using Bell for many years, and yes, they regularly increase the charge without telling you. They persuaded me to switch from Rogers to Bill and match the price. But months after that, they start to increase very various reasons. Billing is horrible, they told me to offer 20% discount since June 2008, up till this month, I still haven't seen the discount, and I call every single month, the rep will just say it will show up on next bill............... The Bell TV rep will always try to give you "FREE" channels for trial. And I bet that is their trick on getting additional revenue if you forget to cancel or if they screw up your billing AGAIN from there.

Too bad that there is many choices for TV. I really want to just hook up all my TVs to PC and stream free online TV and movies !!!

Regarding the DSL modem when purchasing Teksavvy service, I got a modem that works just fine for a smoking price from CTY in Richmond Hill (they have a store downtown too)

I paid $28 but it's on sale this week for $23, their sales start/end Monday so GET ON IT if you think you'd be interested.

If there is a problem with Teksavvy's service, it's Bell's fault. Throttling is now done before Teksavvy gets the traffic (meaning ALL DSL is throttled, regardless of 'provider').

If prices go up at the end of May, it will be because of Bell implementing their Usage Based Billing (********).

Bell is doing everything they possibly can to make sure you can't get better service anywhere, and by doing so, they are stifling the competition and degrading internet in Canada.

Even IF Bell was cheaper with faster service and more cap space (not happening), I wouldn't EVER go with Bell. I will stay with companies like Teksavvy who are genuinely interested in providing the best service possible.

In short, anything even remotely related to Bell should be banned from the board, because with all of their Billing Errors, Pricing Errors, Bill Correction Fees, Cancellation Fees ($200), System Access Fees, etc. any deal comes out as ice cold and a simple act of consumer frustration. Even if you DO get a good contract, someone will review it and try and get you on a different contract that pays more in different ways.

I totally agree. Like I said, I had so much troubles with Sympatico it takes a page to write it down. Seriously, even if they pay me, I won't go back to them because they had to pay me a lot to handle all the hassle with them.
