Yeah the website is not very accurate. I remember putting in my number not to long ago and seeing that it was available in my area after months of waiting! Needless to say tears of joy were produced but then 5 minutes later after calling to order uncontrollable rage when support told me flat out NO.

what about Rogers?
Their student plan seems to be pretty good. I will be living with 5 other people, so 140 GB seems more than enough for all of us.

anyone knows more about Rogers service in Hamilton? |

$55 for 5 MBPS? Kind of slow don't you think? I'm currently at 16 MBPS, planning to upgrade to 30 MBPS when it's available in my area, but I don't pay much more than what you're paying. |

Yeah but their prices are unreasonable if you get internet as a standalone, TekSavvy is way better in terms of download speed and cap, so why go Shaw? |

I think that is obvious considering they don't have their own technicians come over and set up the internet for you. Bell technicians come over and set it up for you, because TekSavvy is using their lines and whatnot. |
