Comparison of different Internet providers
Hey guys, we got 6 people in the house and we are thinking of going with either start, tek-savvy or Acanac. I was wondering if anyone can provide recent reviews for them and also what's your speed/price.

thank you

If you guys are heavy users (torrenting, gaming, streaming HD video) TekSavvy is the way to go. They have a 300GB as well as an unlimited bandwidth plan, for reasonable prices

Teksavvy all the way! Good speed and no worries about usage (with 6 ppl it would climb up faster than you can imagine).

Yes I have heard of start.ca, but they have 300Gb cap and down/up speed of 15/1Mbps, which is considerably lower than what TekSavvy has to offer with 25/10Mbps and unlimited cap. However, do you think 25 Mbps is too much for 6 people even if they are listening to music, watching movies, torrenting at the same time? How many people are in your house? and why do you like start.ca better than Teksavvy?
Thanks man
