Only one person using internet most of the time. Primary use is going to be IPTV / Netflix. No gaming requirements at all.
Will be mostly downloading with very little upload. Most likely will not be streaming 4K content (in the near future (at least 3 years away)).

Best rates I see so far are for Teksavvy and Primus. However I don't know the reliability or customer support of either of these companies. Teksavvy used to be good but heard they are going downhill fast. Anyone recommend one of these or another provider?

Teksavvy: $44.95
30down/5up
Unlimited cap, modem $160 (+$10 shipping), $50 Activation

Primus: $36.95 (min 1 year contract).
25down/2.5up
Unlimited cap, modem $140 (+10 shipping), $55 Activation

Thanks

You get what you pay for and cheaper isn't always better. However it depends on the need. If you don't care / won't notice the slowdowns then does it really matter if its much cheaper than shaw or telus?
