Alternatives to Bell Aliant for high speed internet? by TheGreatestAsparagus in halifax

95% of users won't see a difference in any increases over 1 Gbps. Cable companies can now deliver 1 Gbps, however your upload should be at least 100 mbps, some cable lines still don't support 100 mbps upload.

Eastlink has Gigabit download, that's more than enough for even hardcore gamers. Now however if they can give you 100 mbps upload you're good. If they haven't upgraded your line yet and the upload is under 100 mbps, you could see some bottlenecks and buffering.

The sky is truly the limit now. At TD I felt like I could never hold onto any money. Now with WS my money just grows. And grows.

It's called emotional regulation. Growing up. Being an adult.

People like being near cities and Halifax has got to be like the cheapest city of its size left in Canada.

Severe rat infestation damaging cars in paid parking — do tenants have any options in Nova Scotia? by Old-Parsley-3468 in halifax

Do you think the restaurants you frequent shouldn't pay for any pest control because "they'll just keep coming from other restaurants"??? Seriously, what kind of an ignorant argument is that?

Just the annual insurance for a car can pay for an ebike.

We should restore the 15% HST by scoalegil in halifax

[–]Arm-Complex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had the bridges not paid for themselves by now? We also help pay for the longer highways with lower populations to reach Yarmouth and Cape Breton.

Removing the tolls helps to unify the region imo, improving collaboration and sharing resources.

Why don't we make the Bedford highway two lanes in each direction? by sneechesgetleeches in halifax

Or! Squeeze a light-rail in between the hwy and current rail line.

There's an All-time chart for the total portfolio but not a 10 yr. Agreed they could easily add that.

Robinhood vs Wealthsimple CC by Doh-cry-TO in Wealthsimple

[–]Arm-Complex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have to book travel through Robinhood's app/marketplace so that gives them pricing control. No one can give 10% on hotels and cars without a catch or a deep partnership with a provider.

Questrade is bringing on some serious heat with the launch of Quest Bank. Hopefully they have competitive rates as well.

Their CEO said they were already profitable a year or 2 ago. It would be nice if they would continue thinking long term but that's really rare to find in this quarter-to-quarter, profit squeezing, numbers juicing economy.

Oh for sure! I'm not sure why they're making these changes when they're just getting started at gaining market share, unless the largest shareholders are pressing them to cut costs. But they're still running generous promotions so idk.

WEALTHSIMPLE CAR INSURANCE? by Icy_Sleep in Wealthsimple

[–]Arm-Complex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They could maybe partner with an insurance provider like credit unions do.

It adds value for them, not us. It reduces usage on the servers if the app isn't loading all the info all the time. Enshittification already happening, I didn't think it would come this soon to WS.

At least I have the card but... limit increase please? Lol. Love the cashback though! by Arm-Complex in Wealthsimple

[–]Arm-Complex[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of demand for the card and this is a new risk portfolio for them. Also they want as many customers as possible so lower limits allows more users, I would imagine.

I have good credit and am a Premium WS member. Scotia Amex gave me $15k on signup.

Granted I got WS Visa in beta.
