indeed, well Bell is already being forced to offer their speeds to teksavvy. We can only hope Rogers is next. But yeah I expect all tek customers will get the bump, just like we did the 10 to 15 one a while back. If it does go through, it will be amazing value, hopefully lots of others jump ship.Blackface said:
I actually appreciated this. it'll be good for years, no inflated monthly rental charge, and no crappy foisted Rogers modem/router garbage. Plus no one had to show up at my house. I received the modem delivery, plugged it in the first day of service and it just worked.StevieP said:

For me, as someone who lives right at the edge away from the city, I would still agree that most of the cuts are going to hurt the downtown core more than uptown. Of the people that I know that don't live downtown (above the Shepherd belt), they look at TTC as an annoyance, that their service isn't necessary, etc, and to them, they are right, because they can drive around, and everything is still within reach. However, for people in the core, who don't have a car and depend on transit, it's a kick in the pants.Spl1nter said:

Well said. Even though I think it's human nature to notice the annoyances around your proximity and ignore those away from you, in the case of the 905ers, they really don't seem to understand what's happening downtown. I do admit to becoming a bit infuriated with all the "oh I hate driving downtown, I hate driving around streetcars..." - they don't LIVE HERE. /rantAlphaTwo00 said:

I am speaking strictly in the popular old mode of 416 being downtown and 905 being GTA, yes I realise it's not accurate, we have 4 area codes now, but you know what I mean. Don't detract from the point above, which is that people who live a long long way from downtown elected a mayor that is busy fucking with the city's core, for his own constituency and to the detriment of the "416ers".crimzonflame said:
Still. 905ers are strictly outside of the City of Toronto limits. I'm 10 minutes walk away from Steeles, a 905er. I don't vote anything within Toronto, and can only watch as things crumble around there.PortTwo said:

Speaking of area codes, Toronto's new area code, 437, has been approved, ready for use in 2013.crimzonflame said:

RE: Hudak, it's pretty much a given. McGuinty was like teflon during the last election, but he's been the face of too many negatives. Sadly, I'd still vote for him to keep the cons out.
People who only live in the suburbs (and work in suburbs) aren't burned as badly, and are the ones fine with "more car lanes over bike lanes" ideology. To a lot of these people, transit is something they rather die instead of taking, which is why they don't want it.Azih said:

Well that, we can't do much about. Our geographical location basically deals us the worst hand on that. Not many other places in the world have to deal with the weather conditions like we do. Roads can't tolerate all the salt and sand in the winter AND the heat in the summer all at once.ConvenientBox said:
I point to the completely underused Sheppard system as a problem with our subway planning, and I question why extending it is a good idea. The original intent of that line was to reduce traffic from DVP and the core, with people getting off at Fairview mall, and take the subway down. Result: Parking over there is $6-$12, which results in people saying fuck it, let's just drive all the way down, cause they don't save any more time with the subway, and it closes early and infrequent.Kinitari said:
I'm sure it was a lot of work, polling his neighbours in Etobicoke, to find out what "Toronto" wants.
