I guess I am that “Super Moron”.

Based on my experience with Magma, another leased DSL provider, I wouldn’t expect TekSavvy to be any better, to be honest. It’s all up to whether Bell’s willing to support them or not and in my case, they weren’t.

For the record, I’ve had no problems with Rogers during this time. As long as you don’t have to deal with them, they work pretty well.

Teksavvy’s been perfect for years in 2 houses now. You can’t go wrong and that’s that. $30/month. Bought a modem for $30. You’d be some sort of super moron to stick with either Rogers or Sympatico. Man what a rip.
