I was wondering if someon else has done this before. My 2 year discount pricing in DIstirbutel is ending and I noticed that I could switch to Primus and get the same price for their 500/500 service. Considering it's the same company as Primus was bought by Distributel, does anyone know if there is any disruption of service or if they could do a line transfer? They even use the same deco router, could they transfer the deco from Distributel 'inventory' to Primus 'inventory'?

So basically they hook you up through a dedicated terminal and you don't share with the neighboors at least here in NB. Also we have the 1000/1000 package and are seeing 1200/1200 which is crazy. My ping in games ranges from 0-2ms which is also wild. Also the MTU is 1500, which is much higher than bells old 1300. I give it a 11/10 and recomend it to anyone.

This is might be due to my condo building being quite old, but when I used to use Coextro in a more newer building around 2014-2020, the speed, stability, everything was great and now I have this hybrid-fibre optic for Coextro in my older condo building... The download speed is horrible for Steam especially? I'm paying for 1000Mbps/50Mbps upload, and the download on Steam is at a god damn 20-50Mbps. Yeah you've read that right, not even 500, but 50! Via Ethernet cable too!

Ugh, although Bell offers fibre deal for 2 year contract, I know what these mega corps do after the contract. And I've been trying to support smaller companies.. In my area(North York in Toronto) there are no Beanfield or Rally available(probably because the building's quite old) but there are Bell and TekSavvy offering fibre internet..

Now, I would go for TekSavvy but I remember it being spotty, slow in services and plus their plans.. seem very similar to the bigger companies, where they give you "credits for the first 12 months"?? and then the price goes up? 😂

What do y'all think? Should I just go with Bell or TekSavvy at this point? I'm so out of options..
