Finally on teksavvy

[Lennart Sorensen]

I finally got around to switching to teksavvy from rogers cable.

I had been too lazy to bother.  I only got cablemodem because Bell didn't
offer ADSL when I bought the house 7 years ago, and then it went from
6Mbps to eventually 10Mbps, and ADSL was only 5 or 6Mbps.  Well VDSL2
changed that.  Free install (during some part of March), and I now have
25Mbps down, and 7Mbps up (speedtest.net confirms it is reliably doing
that), for about the same monthly price I was paying rogers for 10Mbps
down and 1Mbps up.

Quite how cat3 or worse phone line can do that, I am not sure.

I had considered moving to teksavvy cablemodem about a year ago, just
to get a cheaper service for the same speed and a higher transfer quota
per month, but now I am happy I waited.

Seeing this is certainly nice:

Makes apt-get updated nice and fast.  I have seen it as high as 3000 kB/s.
