They got scared of all the halloween decorations and went to hide under the porch.
Seriously, I don't see any mention of the $10 logins anywhere on the Teksavvy web site. I am perhaps blind. If there are still there, where are they ?
Note: it would be ironic that TS would have decided to remove them at the time time as Electronic Box added them ! |

ok.... How should I say this...
Ahhum.... We've pulled the login-only service until official ruling on if one of the larger telcos will allow logins from alternate ISPs, such that, if you are on with, lets say one of the larger telcos, that you can't add a login with, say another company, and circumvent any AUPs of one of these larger telcos.
...that cryptic/clear enough!?

| There are issues surrounding AUPs of late that are going to be affecting the marketplace, so, in order to avoid getting our noses bent, for the time-being, we figure we might as well play nice until we know what the game is. In either case, $30/month, without contract... It's not a bad deal regardless.

1 edit | said by Angelo_ :i thought the ctrc ruled on this alrdy, thus allowing third party to offer services... Without getting into specifics (not that it's not obvious enough) we've been having a bunch of meetings of late with various parties and with rising speeds comes a grouping of people that are becoming astronomically abusive...... To have someone go 1TB or more in a month is absurd, so certain bodies have started to react and put their foot down. Problem with that is it will affect certain people and connections.
So........ fair warning to those who are overdoing it on larger telcos. If you get blocked for excessive downloading, there's a damn good chance you're not going elsewhere. Both telcos and cablecos are starting to weed out the major downloaders by clamping down on the copper entirely.
As much as I/we enjoy saying unlimited, we have to face the facts.... There's a select group of download fiends that are going to spoil it for everyone, and the larger boys have taken it upon themselves to do something about it (See Verizon, Bell, Rogers, Telus, Cogeco, Videotron.... they're all firing clients). This is no longer a joke boys and girls.

Oh boy, this is certainly gonna get interesting, and not in a good way...
If Bell starts restricting logins to only the one ISP the user subscribes to, this is going to take away one of the biggest advantages of PPPoE DSL, and I'm not talking about the 500gb+ month hogs.
Takes away the troubleshooting advantages, multiple IP's on different computers or routers, gamers using one low latency connection for their online play, another low cost, higher latency connection for downloading, etc...

This is why we're sitting on the sidelines right now as this has been voiced and for what it's worth, it's understood, so they're trying to find a way to allow such activities that wouldn't cramp progress, but at the same time wouldn't allow the abusiveness.... Problem is, it's asking to have your cake and eat it too....

Wow, I can't see people doing 1TB+ a month doing it for personal use. I mean, assuming most of it isn't streaming stuff etc, you would need a lot of space, HD's are cheap but not that cheap.
Companies do have the right to protect themselves and their users, all I ask is for the companies to be straightforward about it's policies / reasons and have actual packages for people to go to. |
