I use TekSavvy as an Internet Provider (in Canada). Bell (the phone provider) REALLY wants me to "go optical". For speed... But - Bell (the phone provider) is forced to share the copper. They do NOT share the optical! If I "go optical", they rip up the copper, and force me to use Bell or the cable company. TekSavvy would be shut out (actually, they can use cable). I refuse to give business to the cable company (for other reasons). So - vDSL all the way! Fortunately 25/5 mbps is sufficient for my uses. Why TekSavvy? (1) they do NOT block ports (2) they can provide static IPv4 addresses -- so REAL INTERNET. Something I do NOT get from either phone or cable companies.
