Bell is not cable. TekSavvy DSL is still giving money to Bell. TekSavvy cable is giving money to Rogers. They win unless you cut it all. WIND might still be its own entity, though.
I don't know about 60Mb, but it should generally be around 45Mb with speedboost. The key point here is speedboost. He's still only getting 30Mb after the first few seconds of his download.
Bell/Rogers have a much bigger market than your providers, and it seems they also have a much smaller outcry when they slam their hands into customer pockets and retrieve the entire contents of their wallets.
Bell/Rogers are trying very hard to put people on ultra limited caps with high speeds (and high prices) so they can charge people an extra $50 to $(whatever they decide the maximum will be) for overages every month.
Bell(especially)/Rogers are trying very hard to keep 3rd party resellers from being able to provide their service.
From the actions of the CRTC and other government members, Bell/Rogers have some very good friends making sure they can continue to do all of this.
UBB should have never been allowed to happen, caps should have never been allowed to happen.
Traffic shaping is actually against the current business plan of getting people to use way more than their caps, that's why it's being dropped by Bell. This actually sort of helps TekSavvy as they shouldn't be shaped anymore, either. I wouldn't be surprised if Bell continues to traffic shape 3rd party resellers, though. Rogers does not have the technology to traffic shape 3rd party resellers, if I understand correctly, and I do believe they shape their own customers.
Those GBs in your cap don't really cost much of anything. They don't really cost anyone anything, any longer.
I'm assuming that your providers would get a ton of complaints if they tried to do what Bell/Rogers are doing, that's why you still have essentially unlimited caps.
Yet the Humble Bundle, recent NIN albums and this thing from Louis CK somehow make sales.
I have purchased many thousands of dollars worth of media over the years and I've downloaded at least a million dollars "worth" more. If I had millions of dollars, I'd have bought it all instead of downloading it for free. This is, of course, ignoring that the huge majority of media that I've downloaded can not be purchased in my country, or through any other means.
Uh... what? phpmyadmin is configured for external access by default. It asks you for passwords during setup. Unless you mean when configuring it manually, and not through the repos.
It's funny that you are whining about ad blocking plugins when Opera has the best ad blocking as a default feature. The writers for those same ad blocking plugins and the list makers even acknowledge this.
The best ad blocking and still the fastest, yes, Opera is the best.
I'm not sure what the issue is. Firefox was only somewhat good for the extremely short period between its birth and Opera becoming completely free to use. The only thing keeping Opera from being supreme for all those years was the barrier of cost (or ads). Everything that current browsers use, Opera invented or was using for many years before Firefox was even released. Everything that you have to search for and install as a plugin, in Firefox, is a default feature in Opera. All of this power included in the browser for all of these years, and Opera still has a smaller install, uses less resources and is faster. Currently, Firefox is at the level of IE / Safari. Chrome is a tad better than those three.
Really, this entire article and everyone's comments are a joke. Both Firefox and Chrome, along with all other browsers, are a joke compared to Opera.

Shaw is cable, Bell is not.

TekSavvy cable: $62, 30Mb down (45Mb w/ speedboost), 1Mb up, no caps.
Try reading the rest of his post. Stop posting if you're just going to echo other people.
I can't wait for all of Apple's patents to get thrown out, as well.
Though I've never used Ubuntu, I would imagine it would do what all other distros do.
Irrelevant, you posted AC.

I'm pretty sure all reactors that have a catastrophic failure do that.
Wow, that joke went way over your head.
Yeah, I just installed CentOS recently. I do believe you are full of shit as others have backed up what I said.
With all of the chemicals in nearly every product today, Alzheimer's takes care of their brains long before old age comes.
Were you born a failure at life? Yes, you were.
Yes, external access to the database has to be manually enabled.
MySQL would have started itself after installing the package. So, where's the part when you install phpmyadmin and it asks you for passwords?
I've never had an issue watching YouTube stuff with all of their ads blocked. That might be because I use Opera - a proper browser.
You have no clue what the oldest profession is.
It's asked me for a root pass on CentOS, and Debian and others that I've used.

Interesting how crap browsers get killed off by the better options. Now we just have to wait for everything else to get killed off by Opera.

Opera still reigns over all of them.
So you buy none of their products? No one needs to buy a Sony product. It is a choice to buy it, from beginning to end.
