I've been with Teksavvy for nearly 15 years. This is a sad, sad day.

Same. They're not just an ISP. They're strong consumer advocates, bordering on activists. This is terrible.

I've been with Start dot CA for a few years and following their sale to Telus, I've been seriously considering switching to Teksavvy. This is tragic. Are there any good ones left? Our country is about to have literally no options apart from the big three.

Not any big ones. Maybe locally to you.

I've been with Lightspeed for years. They're based in Burnaby though, so I don't know if they are available Canada wide.

I use Coextro. Just some small company operating out of Mississauga. I wouldn't call them amazing, but they try their best. At the end of the day they are really still at the mercy of Bell or Rogers (depending on if you go dsl or cable). They are smaller so they are likely a bit safer for now from being consumed by the duopoly.

I remember when the CRTC lowered costs that the resellers would have to pay the Big 3, and Teksavvy lowered their prices as a result.
