Going to be moving into a new house in two weeks, any suggestions for what Internet Service Provider?

My buddy suggested TekSavvy.

I've been with TekSavvy for the past 2yrs and very happy with them.

two important questions
1) adsl or cable?
2 DPI and throttling, yes or no?

Do you have a Costco's executive membership? If yes, sign-up through that with Primus. They are cheap, don't charge a system access fee and they don't throttle your bandwidth as of yet. I've had the wireless service for a few years now and prefer it to when I was using Rogers and Bell previously.

Many other people are also happy with Teksavvy.

I'm quite happy with Teksavvy - reasonable speeds for a reasonable price.

It appears as though Primus is doing traffic shaping as well though...

They're actually one of my customers. If they are traffic shaping, then this is a very new development. I think that statement might be a little bit of B.S. on their part... The counter-statement from Bell basically says that too.
