  1. The slime also evolves, apparently. Today nxdomain.no/~peter/wankstortio (nxdomain.no/~peter/wankstortio) inboxed, as far as I can recall the first #wankstortion message received here over #IPv6 (and likely inboxed for that reason, bypassing the IPv4 only #spamd).

    See "The Despicable, No Good, Blackmail Campaign Targeting ... Imaginary Friends?" nxdomain.no/~peter/despicable_ and links therein for some background #cybercrime #scams #sextortion #bitcon #bitcoin #cryptotulips #cryptocurrency #extortion #teksavvy

  2. Sucessful native IPv6 setup with #Teksavvy over Bell Fibre and an EdgeRouter, something Bell has no interest in.

    If you believe in telcom competition, support the last independent nation wide Indie ISP.

    Good indie ISPs exist but only in certain buildings in certain cities.

  3. #Rogers days of being the high end ISP are clearly over.

    This was signally when Rogers surrendered on IPTV service & outsourced it to Comcast, just like Wireless outsourced to Ericcson. It is now just a sales front end, following the exact same path as Sprint US.

    The #financialization of Rogers Internet service is well under way.

    Rogers refused to sell me Internet below $90/mo.

    #Teksavvy on the other hand made it *easy* to do business with them.

    #BellCanada #Fibre it is.

  4. Fricken #BellCanada and #Rogers #anticompetition #internet in #Canada. Step up #CRTC.

    I just went to set up #TekSavvy for my new apartment and apparently the #FiberOptic line going into the building is blocked for #IndepententServiceProviders. I've been with TekSavvy for probably close to 20 years (National Capital Freenet before that).

    Especially ridiculous that they can do this going into an #AffordableHousing building and charge tenants whatever ridiculous inflated rates they want.

  5. Hey #Ottawa Mastadonians: I'm on my 13th hour with my #Teksavvy #ISP internet down and no sign it's coming back anytime soon, on top of which I know they're built on the garbage dumpster Rogers network that I'd love to be less reliant on for working from home anyway. Anyone on here have any experiences with #BellFibe, one way or the other?

  6. Okay, I'm no corporate #shill but if you're in the market for internet and want to give #TekSavvy a try, their summer sale is on now! I just signed up for 120Mbits service for just under $70/mo all-in.

    Am currently using Start.ca, paying the same for half the speed.

    I like TekSavvy because they fight the good fight against incumbent telecom providers who have a near-stranglehold monopoly on the market. Recently, Start also got bought out by Telus.

  7. 🇨🇦 #Telecom news roundup: price hikes & possible strike!
    Bell & Telus customers will soon pay more for roaming services.

    #Netflix has changed its password-sharing rules in Canada. Now, the move is having an impact on #Telus Stream+ bundle.

    #TekSavvy accused #Rogers of offering #Vidéotron wholesale services

    In what seems to be a never-ending battle between #Bell and Vidéotron, the two companies are now feuding over costs related to 911 services.

  8. CRTC should allow true MVNOs to sell cell/mobility services w/o having to build their own infrastructure/networks as IMO its unrealistic to expect a 4th nat'l carrier. Here's a 2021 OpenMedia article that explains CRTC"s flawed April 2021 decision

  9. Internet: les fournisseurs indépendants crient à l’aide

    Clients en défaut de paiement plus nombreux, mais qui consomment plus de données internet que jamais. Tarifs de revente des gros fournisseurs qualifiés de « déraisonnables », mais qui n’ont jamais baissé, en attente d’une décision de cour.
