Teksavvy has both cable and DSL. So both Bell or Rogers, it's up to you.
A few days ago I called Rogers to cancel my cable internet to switch to Teksavvy cable internet, their 30Mbps/5Mbps/150GB for $45 plan. But Rogers offered me 270GB for $61, and I refused. And then calling again later to confirm the service cancellation (the account isn't in my name), they offered $53 and we accepted. With the modem rental it's an additional $8. But buying a new modem for Teksavvy would cost $100, plus there's another $110 in activation fees, while Rogers gave me some credit. So I think it was better to stay with Rogers.
Keep in mind tho: bandwidth limit at Teksavvy doesn't count uploads. So 270GB isn't necessarily much better than 150GB, it depends.
Another thing to keep in mind: Teksavvy is a prepaid service. You pay for the service before at least 1 month before you use it, but with Rogers you pay 1 month after.
The laptop losing internet thing sounds like a problem with the router or the laptop's network adaptor. I don't see how it could be a the problem with the internet itself. That is strange. I had a lot of problems like that back in the 56k days, but now? Not really.
When I was considering my options I had the following pricing:
TekSavvy
$65 for activation
But if you are switching from Rogers they should give a $45 discount for activation + if you buy their modem for $100 you will get $20 discout
That is, if you switch from Rogers and buy their modem, you are not paying any activatin fee. The problem is that the offered modem has no Wi-Fi so you will spend additional money on a router.
