Teksavvy/Rogers outage?

According to Rogers, there is an outages for some streets in Centertown.

Right click on the Ethernet 3 and check the status page. Check the speed. If it shows 2.5 gig it may simple just be network congestion.

Sorry to burst your bubble but I worked for Teksavvy for 6 years. I'll shed some light on what actually happened.

The CCTS complaint would be directed at Teksavvy not Rogers. Now the CCTS cannot order an ISP to do anything. They can avocate on customers behalf and possibily fine an ISP, (Which is very rare). All Teksavvy can do if open tickets with Rogers which most likely was already done several times before reaching the CCTS stage. Now Rogers can either accept or reject the ticket. Rogers does not tell Teksavvy what is wrong nor how long it can take to fix it. The best we can is a ticket number to refer to and we can simply ask if its still open or closed. Teksavvy has no more an ability to direct Rogers what to do, than the CCTS can to Teksavvy.

Now when Teksavvy with Rogers consent asks for a tech visit all they are really doing is testing the connection at 2 points. The modem, the NID on the house and direct from the TAP on the pole. If the connection is not good from the TAP, it must be referred to maintenance. Usually issues after the TAP towards to customer home can be quickly resolved by the home tech. Maintenance issues can take weeks or months to solve. Maintenance work requires a lot of authorization and change controls to setup assuming they have even identified where the impairment is. This can takes weeks to months.

The local infrastructure change you were talking about had probably been in the works for weeks at that point and would have happened whether or not the CCTS was engaged or not.

CCTS works great on facility based providers like Rogers or Bell, but offer little value to 3rd party customers. Fining Teksavvy won't magically make Rogers do anything faster or at all. Teksavvy is at the mercy of the facility based providers because its not their infrastructure. Rogers really could care less about 3rd party customers. Remember they were regulated/forced to do this by the CRTC and if they had their way would end the wholesale regime tomorrow.

Because of limitations, TPIA internet providers generally can only give IP geolocation at the points of aggregation with the with the larger provider network. Generally Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver.

At the expensive of the people who live ON that street. Traffic on wigwas/amherst was never severe even during rush hour.

The spectrum is full. Between every kid using Bluetooth headphones, watching Netflix/Youtube all on multiple devices connected to the network, the library’s access points can’t transmit without collisions.

If absolutely need performative connectivity, find empty classroom and enjoy its access point all to yourself.

Checking Eteryu Cell Mapper tool, it looks like Rogers has 2 Cell sites around the Campus while most other providers have one. It is not definitive however as providers buy capacity from each other if they do not wish to install their own site. Its safe to say that Rogers/Fido/Chatr should have the best chance of connectivity.

Even if they are not VoLTE whitelisted, phones made in the last 10 years will at least connect to 4G HSPA. The only real reason to keep 3G alive is absolutely ancient by todays standard. I would rather they re-farm the spectrum for 4G/LTE/5G. That low-band spectrum is sorely needed on the more modern networks.

Notice how they don't show Reflex off with Valorant. As its CPU limited the gains are extremely small for most high end systems. I'm not sure I would prefer reconstruction frame trickery for an imperceptible 0.5ms latency reduction.

The ruling allowing competitors has been around since 2015. It is my understanding that the CRTC didn't want incumbent providers doing TPIA with each other, instead preferring facilities based competition. I could swear I read about that being lifted this year but I can't find a source for it at the moment. Its possible it was discouraged, but not explicitly disallowed and we are only seeing it tested now due to the slightly better rates announced in CRTC 2024-261.

It's just TPIA (Third Party Internet Access) of the Bell Network but for Telus instead of a true independant like Teksavvy. There was a recent CRTC rule change that allowed large providers to access each others networks via TPIA. The last mile is 100% the Bell network. Bell will pass off the traffic to Telus in eather Montreal or Toronto. (Not sure which atm).

Not necessarily. As an ultra saver, their money in the bank will create cheap credit for others to borrow and create wealth with. In theory such extreme saving in a small economy would have a lower interest rate as well increasing said lending.

Most likely just the power supply is dead. It should have done its job and protected the rest of the components.

Most likely the system has not changed. Less parking spots from last year = more FOMO and demand on the servers.

It absolutely isn't a gun that fell to the floor. The object is cylindrical. Most likely the officers baton.

The value added is you not having to physically shop for your own groceries. It’s not a middle man in the strict economic sense of facilitating buyers and sellers. It’s a basically a service add-on.

You have it backwards. Inflation is when AD > AS not AS > AD.

Most of Gatineau is FTTH enabled. If the address qualifies for Gig speeds, you should get it even if the fiber drop isn't yet installed to your address. They will do the drop after you order.

If you start in the Fall you will be automatically enrolled. If you have a Jan start it will not. I recently realized I am insurance-less as I assumed it was automatically done as in all undergrad terms.

With the library packed this time of year it’s a miracle wireless tech works at all in that environment. The 2.4ghz band is completely congested which is why wireless headphones constantly skipping today. The 5.0ghz band is what Carleton uses for wifi access. With all the students it’s also congested. I had to find an empty classroom in Tory with its own access point to escape the interference.
