Moving from Bell Fibe to TekSavvy fiber.

@johnefrancis @human3500 I got 1.5 for $55 a month from Bell and couldn't pass it up.
-
@Nerdfest @johnefrancis Bell are too evil to use if there's a choice
-
@human3500 @Nerdfest @johnefrancis so I can also sell this service... but the costing is outrageous for us to offer it broadly.
A sub-1.5Gbit line is $70/mo, and $80 for faster. Installation $250
But then the overhead on *one* of those lines is like $4500/mo. Plus all the datacentre, transit, colo, etc.
TSI is way bigger than @ServerNorth, that's why they can afford to do it.
Any wholesale ISP can do it, it's just after me, Storm, TSI, Execulink... there's not really many indies left.

@Nerdfest works for me.

@[email protected] @[email protected] working here as well.
-
@human3500 @Nerdfest @johnefrancis Now if you're a business and paying for Fixed IP, I can definitely be competitive.
And I'm happy to sell the service to anyone, but you'd have to understand you'd be paying a _lot_ more for little more than my charming disposition. And catpix.
-
@mWare @human3500 @Nerdfest I'm not needing a business SLA, so a commercial offering of $650/m won't work for me. If I had a bunch of employees or some managed services running in my basement....like 500 sq ft. of high density cat picture storage...then I'd give you a call...
-
@mWare If I read this correctly, after removing all your marketing speak, you will offer me a symmetric 1.5 Gb/s Internet connection (no usage limit) at $54 a month with free installation. Do I have that right? If so, I am in! @Nerdfest @johnefrancis
-
@johnefrancis @human3500 @Nerdfest I wasn't suggesting the Ethernet product
-
@human3500 @Nerdfest @johnefrancis exactly! For the first month!
Second month we have to make some adjustments tho
-
@mWare I am reconsidering. @Nerdfest @johnefrancis
-
@human3500 @Nerdfest @johnefrancis I can proffer more catpix.

@human3500 @mWare @Nerdfest @johnefrancis Well, as much as I don't like to mix the streams, we are his customer. He's given us very reliable good service for years. I love the fact he doesn't filter port 25 although many providers do.

@Dianora maybe @mWare is just too lazy to filter port 25. Er, I mean laid back. @Nerdfest @johnefrancis
-
@human3500 @Dianora @Nerdfest @johnefrancis I'd have to check if it's still going, but at various time we filter Postgres, MySQL, and SNMP & NTP ports. Latter due to UDP DDoS, and the former because you just shouldn't be.
Blocking 25 outbound makes more sense than blocking 25 inbound, but I'm aware of at least 4-5 customers running MXes on our access network. Could be more.
Need rDNS set? Set up the forward record and let me know!

@mWare @Dianora @Nerdfest @johnefrancis That's censorship! Where are my first amendment rights?
-
@human3500 @Dianora @Nerdfest @johnefrancis Naw, it's nanny-state who is tired of dealing with everyone's unpatched, unsecured BS
