[Comp] TekSavvy Express/Extreme Cable Internet Starter Kit $99.95/$129.95 @ CC

[chaos1105]

damn, just checked my postal code and the cable service is unavailable in my area due to "explosive growth".

Is it worth buying the KIT and waiting until the service is made available again in my area so that I can save on the activation?

You'll be permitted to sign up with a kit regardless.

The description doesn't say that the activation fee is covered anymore, perhaps they changed it with the new kits?

Check the overview tab it says:
"This $129.95 value includes: No activation fee, no contracts, up to 24 Mbps download, up to 1 Mbps upload, 300 Gb monthly usage. Service will be $42.95/month after the free month."

Not sure if it's still possible, but with the starter kits, as long as you had one, you would've been able to use it even if the website said service was unavailable. This obviously made no sense, but take it for what you will (and YMMV).

Cool thanks for the responses guys.
i want the 24Mbps service so im lookin at 129 + tax right?
Also any comment on the DCM modem? Good or should i upgrade to the motorola docsis3 one after getting the service activated?

I don't think the Teksavvy starting kit that CC sells comes with the Activation fee.. Correct me If I'm wrong!

I can confirm that the activation fee is waived with the starter kits. I asked specifically about it today when I activated it.

Totally up to you If you want to cough out the extra $$. My DCM modem that I bought from Teksavvy has been fine!

For the 24Mbps you should get the DCM475 (DOCSIS 3.0) as this what Teksavvy suggests to get to use with their service/line!
For the 3-12Mbps you should get the DCM425 (DOCSIS 2.0) as this Is what Teksavvy suggests to get to use with their service/line!

It lists that on their site.. Well not exactly what I just said but yeah.. Look here! http://teksavvy.com/en/res-internet.asp#cable

Thanks for confirming things!

OK. I'm definitely gonna get the dcm475 modem kit tomorrow from my local cc.

So I should be able to sign up for it even though the postal code check on the teksavvy website says otherwise?
And the 129 and tax includes the activation fee, ,modem and 1 month of extreme srvice right?

I currently have the teksavvy DSL service 6megs service and am paying about the same maybe a dollar or two less. So I guess I'll run these two simultaneously for a week or two and then see. Hopefully the cable service ain't that congested during peak hours.

Thanks for all the help guys

I mean what does It say when you punch In your postal code? Maybe whenever you call them the Teksavvy CSR will just do the same thing and see If service Is available In your area and base It off that If they can activate your service or not!? (By do the same thing I mean they will use the postal code checker) If anything you can maybe call right now If they're still open and see what they say before actually purchasing your order.. If you can activate now then that would be great but If not just buy the package anyways and keep It for another time when they do have availability In your area!

Yeah that seems right, Modem + Activation Fee + 1 Month service on the bundle you got.

Tried buying a kit online but it didn't work, there's no checkout button and the item doesn't show up in the shopping cart. Looks like a dummy folder on their website (canadacomputers.com/canadacomp).

In-store only It seems or the site Is buggy.. When I tried It said something weird like "This website is not for purchase, please access www.canadacomputers.com." LOL.

When I do my postal code check it tells me "we are currently not signing up people in your area due to explosive growth"
I guess I'll call in tomrrowo and find out what the rep on the phone says

Thanks for your help jimboski

Once again, with a kit from Canada Computers, you'll be able to signup regardless if there's a stop-sell in your area.
