Switch to Teksavvy/Acanac. $35-45 for unlimited 6-15 Mb.

I switched to teksavvy and it's great. It was twice as fast a Rogers and cheaper. I routinely use about 250GB/month on teksavvy.

I had a lot of problems with quota when I was on Rogers because my VPN connection to work could use up 30G/month when working remotely for long periods of time doing 60-70 hour weeks.

are you on teksavvy cable or dsl? they setup cost is so high around $180, that i dont want to take cable which is at higher speed in my area 28mbs, while dsl is 15mbs, and realize there is too much congestion in the shared hub, $180 down the drain

Try Acanac, they don't have a setup fee, and they have a 30 day money-back guarantee. Their customer service is pretty bad though, so be prepared to be persistent if you have issues. Once it's up though... works great.

Setup was free when transferring from Rogers cable, I just had to buy a cable modem which I bought from Canada Computers.

Teksavvy has never been to my house, it was just a phone call to set up the cable modem.
