I am curious if anybody on the list has experience with TekSavvy's business DSL service. I am looking at their 25/10 business service with a dry loop.
Any good/bad/ugly thoughts experiences?
I've been using Teksavvy business DSL at work since 2010 or 2011. No problems. Just leave some time for the initial setup, as it can take a while to get the Bell tech scheduled to activate things (IIRC around a 7-10 business days? Maybe less...).
OMG don't remind me! What a horror show that was. Totally not Teksavvy's fault, obviously, but wow that was painful.
My parents have been using residential Teksavvy DSL since 2009 as well. There was one issue with signal strength in around 2011, and it took a while to resolve, but eventually we got a Bell technician in who installed something that boosted the signal strength or something -- it was painful waiting to get that resolved (it was easiest to make progress via the Teksavvy forums at dslreports.com versus multiple phone calls, but hard to do that without an internet connection!), but that was the only time we've had a problem in 5.5 years. (We had more frequent problems with Rogers cable internet cutting out before that TBH...)
At my apartment, I had a residential Teksavvy dry loop DSL connection from 2010-2012. When moving in 2012, since we had to pay setup costs for the new apartment anyways, we switched to Teksavvy cable for faster speeds.
In addition to a working service, I sleep a bit better at night with less money going to Rogers/Bell and more going to Teksavvy.
Ya, Teksavvy is awesome. I recommend it to everyone, with great confidence. -- Thomas Milne
