ubuntu-ca Digest, Vol 93, Issue 3

[Geekus Villagius]

Bell, for me usually starts with the letter h, but I'll take a look. I'm
also looking at a regional outfit called Platinum Communications, or just
going with Telus bundled to my landlord's account (not my first choice).

I'm looking for a decent ISP here in Calgary. The residential situation has
> changed, and I need to get my own service in my little abode. Shaw cable
> hasn't provided a usable service here since before I arrived, and the Telus
> DSL another had was closed last month.
>
> I do have a cable connection to the landlord's Shaw account, but they have
> no Internet. I have a separate phone apparatus but do not have a land line.
> After much wasted time, I just learned that TekSavvy is not an option in
> this area. I have a Wind account, but that is presently throttled. With
> four computers (running Mint, Ubuntu, Android) I can't rely on 3G with a 5
> gb limit.
>
> Any suggestions?

> Install is usually free, if it's available in the area.
> Packages are comparable in price to the other big guy, speeds are
> better(here at least, Rogers hasnt managed 50Mb yet),
> No cap, no throttling.
> I've been averaging 100GB/month since they installed last year; torrents,
> VPNs, etc...all the stuff they usually hate.
