FYI, TekSavvy just slashed the prices for vCable by a ton. The 400 megabit service went from $95 to $75, and the gigabit service is now only $95...
Already put in my request for the upgrade to gigabit :)

[Cable] 300 and 600 Mbps
Is there a reason TekSavvy only offers 150Mbps as their top speed in Vancouver and the surrounding area? I thought it’s a cap on speed for ISP incumbents then noticed Lightspeed is offering 300 and 600Mbps tier options so why not TekSavvy? Has anyone heard if they plan on offering the higher speed tiers or is the only option to switch providers?

Can't access Email server
Hi, I use thuderbird but all of a sudden it can't connect to the server. No changes have been made to my system or updates this evening.
So I tried accessing through a web browser with the same results. So something must be up with the Email servers. Could someone look into this please?

[Cable] Cable Modem Suggestions
So of course now that TekSavvy (may their name ever be praised) has informed me that I can now opt for the 100 plan instead of the 60 - for the same monthly price, I'm all flushed and flustered about the idea.
Problem is, my current TC4300 apparently cannot handle such speeds and I'm seriously considering replacing it with one that can. Sorry TC4300, it's survival of the fittest.
Aside from the recommended TC4400, are there any other modem options for a QC (and therefore Videotron) user?
EDIT: We do a lot of streaming (Netflix, Prime, etc.) and gaming every day, and this will be hooked up to an Asus AC5300 router.

vCable 100/30?
The 120 mbps is gone from Vidéotron and I was wondering if Teksavvy is going to offer this 100/30? Ebox is already offering this package at 64.95$ and no longer offer 60 and 120.
Is there any plan? I'm on the 60/10 at 63.95$...

TDSL Volunteer for Overwatch Capture tests
Hey All!
I know this is an odd request but as most have probably looked at we are having some issues with Cable internet on Shaw infrastructure and Blizzard (mainly Overwatch) / Google / other server problems. https://www.dslreports.com/forum/r32415672-Gaming-issues-with-Cable-on-Shaw-infrastructure
As such, Shaw has asked us to also match tests on the TDSL infrastructure to provide tests where the problem is not happening. You must be able to confirm you do not have lagging problems with games such as Overwatch.
If anyone is willing to, can you please post in Direct the following?
Wireshark Capture
WinMTR to the Gaming Servers in question
trace to the gaming server
Results from the Blizzard Tool (include Ping please) : https://us-looking-glass.battle.net/
The more information the better to help us out in this situation. They request no more than 5 minutes and results in text as much as possible.

[Website] Website requires dropping shields to Facebook?
I wanted to take a look at various options, including cable. When I clicked on "Check Availability" the throbber spun for a few seconds and nothing happened. Checking my logs, I saw that my firewall had blocked some outbound traffic to IP address 31.13.80.12 destination port 443. That's in Facebook's range. I killed all instances of Pale Moon (my web browser), backed up a test profile, turned off my firewall, and tried again on the test profile. This time it worked.
Then I restarted the firewall, and the webpage stopped working. I disinfected my machine by getting rid of the test profile, and restoring the backed up version. This reminds me of the original Star Trek series episode "A Taste of Armageddon" https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0708414/ where the planetary leaders keep demanding that the Enterprise lower its shields.
BTW, hosts files are almost useless. I firewall-block all traffic, coming and going, in Facebook's known IPV4 address ranges...
31.13.24.0/21
31.13.64.0/18
66.220.144.0/20

Security system + voip = works?
Hi, my dad has an old security system in his house that works with phone line (the security system is directly connected to the phone line, RJ11). He is with Bell, but they charge so much just for a phone line that it's ridiculous.
I was looking into voip + internet and I wondered if his security system will still works the way it's working right now. The way I see it is this: cable coming in connects to the modem; modem connects to router and he has internet that way; analog modem connects to the router; phone line connects to the analog modem and everyone is happy?
Thanks!

Where does Saskatoon traffic go?
I’m in Saskatoon, currently subscribing to an incumbent but thinking of switching over to Teksavvy. My question is, where does Saskatoon traffic go before it hits the regular internet? Does Teksavvy have facilities in Saskatoon? Or does all the traffic get funnelled to somewhere like Vancouver before then going to the desired destination?
Thanks for any info!

[Cable] vcable - unable to access hydroquebec.com
Hello
I opened a request in the direct forum but seem to not have made progress. TekSavvy blames HQ, HQ say they did have a DNS problem at some point but it's fixed. It still dosen't work. Went back to TS, haven't gotten a reply in quite some time.
I have tried with TS DNS, cloud flare, Level3... does not work.
With the LG.teksavvy.com, no traffic works to hydroquebec.com from bdr01.mtl. It work for bdr01.tor. It works for people on DSL.
Wondering if I'm the only one affected?
