[kwlug-disc] Koodo Cable Internet

[CrankyOldBugger]

I think I mentioned to the group that I switched to CarryTel about a year
ago.  At the time, they had a great introductory offer of around $39.99 a
month for six months, for 1000/50.  Now my rates have gone up (as expected)
to $69.99 per month.  Service is good, but as William mentioned you get the
occasional blip.  And, as he also mentioned, I can't tell if it's Rogers or
CarryTel, but I don't think I had as many blips when I was with vMedia.

Given that I work from home and am in constant VPN connection to the
office, and that usually someone in the house has YouTube going, and that I
may or may not archive various movies or shows for research purposes (arr,
Matey!), I need 1000/50.

However, I recently cancelled our Netflix account, and instead got the TV
add-on from CarryTel that's 62 channels for $14.99 a month.  I got the
cable box from them last week but I'm having a minor issue with getting the
box in a line-of-sight location for the remote.  I just picked up an IR
Extender, and will hopefully test it tomorrow or Friday.  If it works (or
not) I will try to report back here.
