Relocating to Toronto

[Michael Laccetti]

I currently have Rogers 'Extreme' cable, which is a 5mbit/800k package.
Runs $44.95/mo.  I have to admit, it's pretty damn spanky.  Haven't had any
problems, and I run a whole bunch of things behind it (web/e-mail/db/...).

New computer gear, Canada Computers (www.canadacomputers.com) is good, and
so is Sonnam (www.sonnam.com).  Not always the best staff, but they are
cheap, and carry most of the newest stuff, and even some arcane stuff (read:
server related).

Subject: [TLUG]: Relocating to Toronto

Hello everyone,

I've just taken a new job in Toronto, and will be moving there from Halifax
around the beginning of October. I will be attending TLUG meetings, and look
forward to meeting you all.

I'm looking for some information, before I move to Toronto. I would like to
know what my options are for ISPs, and which ones you folks recommend. In
particular, do you know if any of them block port 25? All of the ISPs here
in Halifax do, which is rather annoying if you're a geek who wants to run
their own mailserver at home. What about connection speeds? Customer
service?

Also, I'm looking for a decent place to buy new and used computer gear.
Preferably, some place with knowlegable staff, and good prices.

Any other geeky recommendations would be great too!

Thanks,

Tim
