=== xfaf is now known as zul [16:44] Hello fellow Canadians! [16:58] Hi MikeS11. :) === dscassel_ is now known as dscassel [16:58] have a good weekend? [16:58] Yeah, actually. [16:59] I'd been offline most of last week. Managed to get internets back on Sunday. [16:59] Do anything exciting? [16:59] backcountry skiing, bought a truck. needless to say it was a good weekend. [16:59] Nice. :) [16:59] Where'd you ski? [17:00] http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&t=h&ll=50.355866%2C-122.405548&spn=0.05279%2C0.154324&z=13 [17:01] southern BC. coast mountain range. very close to whistler. [17:13] 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? [18:02] 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] :S [18:03] I'm thinking about switching to TechSavvy cable. Not that Primus is horrible, but they're ambiguous about whether they filter. [18:05] 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. [18:06] My choices for big players in SW Ontario are Bell and Rogers. I'll take none of the above. :P [18:06] Noted, in case I move out east. [18:07] I think Shaw is in Toronto, but not here. [19:15] I don't think Shaw has any end-user networks in Toronto [19:15] they bought Mountain Cable in Hamilton a year or two ago, which apparently caused Rogers to throw a fit [19:16] they had some kind of agreement not to enter each other's territory [19:16] Hurray for collusion! [19:16] exactly!
