[kwlug-disc] Local ISP No Limits and No Usage Charges

[Oksana Goertzen]

I've also been using Teksavvy and have had literally no problems with
their service.  I have also been using Unlimitel.ca for my phone.  I
logged into their site today and see that they have been purchased by
Primus!  ... so I will take a serious look at EyeSurf now.

Cheers, Oksana
