| dscassel_ | Hi MikeS11. :) | 16:58 |

| MikeS11 | have a good weekend? | 16:58 |
| dscassel | Yeah, actually. | 16:58 |
| dscassel | I'd been offline most of last week. Managed to get internets back on Sunday. | 16:59 |
| dscassel | Do anything exciting? | 16:59 |
| MikeS11 | backcountry skiing, bought a truck. needless to say it was a good weekend. | 16:59 |
| dscassel | Nice. :) | 16:59 |
| dscassel | Where'd you ski? | 16:59 |
| MikeS11 | http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&t=h&ll=50.355866%2C-122.405548&spn=0.05279%2C0.154324&z=13 | 17:00 |
| MikeS11 | southern BC. coast mountain range. very close to whistler. | 17:01 |
| MikeS11 | dscassel: I started with shaw for my internet last week. I got a great deal and they hooked me up the next morning. Which provider are you with? | 17:13 |
| dscassel | MikeS11: I'm on Primus. I got grandfathered in after they bought magma (which bought wiznet, which bought dsl.ca, which was the last ISP I actually signed up with). | 18:02 |
| MikeS11 | :S | 18:02 |
| dscassel | I'm thinking about switching to TechSavvy cable. Not that Primus is horrible, but they're ambiguous about whether they filter. | 18:03 |
| MikeS11 | In BC the big ISPs are telus/shaw. shaw doesn't filter, they don't forward nastygrams(pirating) and they have a feature called speedboost (first little bit of a download is unmetered with no restrictions on your speed). telus does non of this. | 18:05 |
| dscassel | My choices for big players in SW Ontario are Bell and Rogers. I'll take none of the above. :P | 18:06 |
| MikeS11 | Noted, in case I move out east. | 18:06 |
| dscassel | I think Shaw is in Toronto, but not here. | 18:07 |
| johanbr | I don't think Shaw has any end-user networks in Toronto | 19:15 |
| johanbr | they bought Mountain Cable in Hamilton a year or two ago, which apparently caused Rogers to throw a fit | 19:15 |
| johanbr | they had some kind of agreement not to enter each other's territory | 19:16 |
| dscassel | Hurray for collusion! | 19:16 |
| johanbr | exactly! | 19:16 |
