So for the last year I’ve been using TekSavvy as my internet provider and I have not had any problems with its DSL service, other than it being relatively slow. Speed tests show I get about 2.5Mbps down and 500Kbps up which I think is slower than average (advertised 5Mbps down, 800Kbps up) but that’s what you get when you are far from the switching station.  Anyway in the summer TekSavvy rolled out its cable internet service and it’s something that I’ve been interested in for a while.

I briefly used Rogers cable internet after moving into my house (due to my Primus nightmare, those jerks yes I am still bitter about it) and it was pretty darn quick so I had high hopes for TekSavvy’s cable internet too (since they piggy back off Rogers).  The technician came to my house two days ago to hook things up and boy is it fast! At 8AM in the morning (yeah I know it’s early and not many people are online), speed tests say I get 22Mbps down and I just tested it at 9PM, which should be during peak times and I’m still getting a solid 19Mbps down!

😀  Yeah I know the server location is at its most ideal spot, whatever I still love it!  It’s definitely worth the added cost over the DSL service, hehe I love my torrent speeds.  Anyway yeah just wanted to share!
