We need some internets at the space. We should probably go with the cheapest we can find, and upgrade later.

If we go with a smaller company, i'd like to see us use someone local

Our internet options are as follows:

Shaw:

  • No special Non-Profit discounts
  • Is willing to sell us a residential service
  • Plans start at 29.95/mo for 256k down, 10MB bandwidth
  • Business Plans start at 68.95, 7.5/512/90GB
  • They were jerks to me on the phone

TELUS:

  • No special Non-Profit discounts
  • Can get residential
  • Can have 3 mos free if we go with a business package
  • Home plan starts at 25/mo 256k
  • Business plans start at $71.95/mo 3/1/70GB
  • They pay my bills

TekSavvy:

  • I like these guys the best
  • DSL Reseller out of Toronto for Bell
  • $4/mo for a static IP
  • $7.95 surcharge for a DRY line
  • Business plans start at $49.00/mo 3/1/200GB
  • Costs $25 to change plans
  • No contract!
  • they allow bonding
  • Geek Friendly according to Kan_

Nucleus:

  • Will do residential service to a commercial building. This is only useful if we don't get a static IP
  • Business Plans that allow servers start at 79.95, 3/1/unspecified
  • They probably suck.

Terago:

  • We could do a symmetrical 1.5 Mbps connection with 90 GB of traffic per month on a three year term for $290 per month and a $500 install.

Other Suggestions:

  • Place across the street? (i couldn't find it)
