ISP for GTA

[Bob Jonkman]

Teksavvy does POTS as well, not sure about VOIP.

For cell phones, I'm impatiently waiting for Globalive to start 
offering cell phone service.  They currently have the Yak! long-
distance service on POTS, and I believe that's actually being re-sold 
from Teksavvy.

And as far as a replacement for cable TV goes, see Leigh's previous 
comment about MLPPP (not that I'm suggesting anything illegal, 
immoral or fattening :-)

I've been running Tomato with single-link MLPPP on my router for 
about a year; nothing but good news, even though Teksavvy doesn't 
officially support single-link MLPPP.

Check DSLReports and the Teksavvy forum.  There's currently an active 
discussion on pricing for the MLPPP service, right from Rocky 
Gaudrault, Teksavvy's president himself.  See if you can get that 
kind of service from Rogers or Bell!
