Faster Internet In And Around Blue Point
The Issue
NOTE: Anyone can sign this but it's to help get better internet to everyone with the postal code N0N1J6.
Hey Friends and Neighbours, are you as frustrated with your internet as I know we are in our house! After plenty of phone calls and visits from our current provider, we were left with the knowledge that our provider had the opportunity to upgrade a few years back and decided against it.
Since then our area has only grown to attract more homes which of course = more people using our out dated service. Which yes, you guessed it = horrible usage for all.
We have done a speed test and at best our home is getting 4.5Mbps (0.5625 Megabytes per second) yet we pay for 6Mbps (0.75 Megabytes per second) Are you in the same boat?
During our last conversation with our provider it was suggested to us that the only thing we can do is to reach out to another provider and either petition them as whole or to have as many people as we can call in to make the other providers aware that we are not happy and are looking to change.
I have taken some time to provide for you all a few companies that may be willing to head out our way. Here is just an idea of who and what they have to offer. Let’s get the ball rolling, change won’t happen if we don’t do anything. Let it be heard, we are not happy paying for more than what we get!
NOTE: All of the following packages have unlimited usage (download and upload as much content as you want), good speeds, so they're ideal for heavy users or families, but they do all have cheaper plans. Plus, they are available close to our area. Each provider will all be contacted by change.org of our interest in their business.Also, this is about to get pretty technical.
Cogeco: $96.95 for 40Mbps, $106.95 for 60Mbps, or $124.95 for 120Mbps. Extras: Only $2-5 Extra for Home Phone, Cable TV Packages Available
TekSavvy: $59.95 for 15Mbps, $64.95 for 30Mbps, or $79.95 for 55Mbps. They offer Home Phone and VOIP (Voice Over IP, call using the internet). They DO NOT offer cable TV. Check out their phone plans at teksavvy.com
