My home uses Cogeco and we have roughly 115 GB with a 15MB/s download speed, roughly $45 overall.

Cogeco seems to be the best overall for the McMaster area...

Now way in hell is it mB/s lol.
PS - if everyone switches to cogeco, we will see massive speed decreases because of the way cable internet technology works

Rofl my bad, 15Mb/s
my house is pretty cold right now so my fingers are frozen and sometimes don't move off the shift key when I want them to
why use heating when you can put on extra layers

I agree. Why turn on the heat when we could just sit in our homes with our winter coats on?

I like to wear shorts and a tshirt all year round. So blast the heater in the winter. It's the only good thing about having the utilities included in the rent. Otherwise, I'd do as you said, wear extra layers.

acanac sucks so much words can't explain it. teksavvy is the best ISP by far. The customer service was like staying inside a 5 -star hotel presidents suite.
