Well, it’s that time of year again.
Last year at this time, our then-internet-provider, istop.com,
dumped all of its DSL customers into the lap of another provider, known variously as cia.com, 3web.com, igs.net and other names.
I just call them
3Web.
It seemed okay for a while, but then we started getting outages, and then they became more frequent.
I checked my logs for last night and we had a one-minute outage about once every 45 minutes.
Needless to say, when Michael and Ronnie are plying WoW, a one minute outage is a major pain.
Especially when they have to spend 45 minutes waiting to do something in the game.
Michael did some research à la Google and found a place called
TekSavvy.
They offer 5 Mbps DSL, have a no-throttling policy, and also offer static IPs.
Sounds good to me!
So today I ordered our DSL from them to be activated on Mon Jul 16, 2007.
Which DSL provider you use is selected solely by the login id you use,
so for a couple of weeks I can go back and forth between them.
Hope it works out!

What a great Fathers Day present, eh? Bleaugh
To offset this, my new 17″ Hi-res MacBook Pro arrived today (Monday).
Love the bright, bright screen.
Much brighter than my old 17″ 1.6GHz PowerBook, which will now be taken to Europe by Michael for four weeks.
The built-in iSight camera is surprisingly good!
It seems to handle the low light conditions of m basement much, much better than either of my standalone iSight cameras do.
Priss
is in Toronto this week and I’m hoping to get together.
Until recently, she was my fellow Toronto-ite at
OSAF.
Iain’s photos
continue to amaze me.
He has an excellent eye for angles and lighting that capture the imagination.
Ok, time to have some chicken noodle soup.
Too bad all I have is Campbell’s, and not Lipton.
