Looks like my Telus discounts expired and I wasn’t paying attention. Every couple of years this happens and I have to play the call customer support and threaten to cancel game to get my bill down. I see that both Rogers and Telus have Black Friday deals, but after 2 years the price goes up again.
I found out about another company named Oxio.ca that has no contracts and cheaper prices than Telus. They operate on Rogers network, similar to what Tek Savvy was doing. I’ll follow up with another post once the service gets connected (should be Dec 6). I’ll put my referral code in in case anyone else is sick of Rogers / Telus and wants a month free (I get a month free too)

Now I get to call TELUS to cancel my services because there is no option to online. Plenty of options to add services though…
Edit: If anyone actually reads this, Oxio is solid. No problem to set up and support techs are great as well. You can’t call them, only text or email but they get back to you quickly. Contacted them the first few days, mainly for mistakes I made and have had solid, consistent internet ever since.
Oxio’s pricing sucks compared to Lightspeed. my 1Gbps plan with Lightspeed is $75 while the same one from Oxio is $90.
Only 25Mbps upload though. But yeah that is a much better deal. If I don’t like Oxio, I’ll reach out to you for a referral code.
My upload is 100Mbps, but for some reason they don’t make it clear if you are in a place that gets the faster speed or the 25 that they promise.
Light speed seems pretty great. If YOU have a referral code I’d be happy to use it.
What teksavvy WAS doing?
My mistake, saw posts about people migrating from Teksavvy and assumed they shut down. Looks like they switched to the will start charging you more after the first 12 months and hope that you don’t notice business model. Lightspeed looks like a good option too.
Yeah, I’m switching from teksavvy to lightspeed after looking into rates.
I was paying $76 after tax for 75 Mb down. But with lightspeed I can get 250Mb down for $72 after tax. Or 1000Mb for $90 after tax.
