[kwlug-disc] Carrytel.ca -- 70M/10M for $35/month

[Raymond Chen]

It's a really good deal.
I'm with TekSavvy  15M/1M 200GB Cable at $39. I'm basically happy except
sometimes the upload is too slow if I want to push large things like docker
images.
I prefer smaller service providers in principle. But when I came to
Waterloo 4 years ago I started to use Brama. It went out of business later
in 2015, stopped taking my calls and disappeared with my half year prepaid
deposit, plus the refund of a returned modem. TekSavvy has been very good
so far. I hope they have new plan with better uplink and I will stay with
them.
