Richmond Hill + Markham High Speed Internet for Business

[Kenneth]

FYI...

Just learned that TeraGo Networks (www.terago.ca) is launching its
10Mbps High Speed Internet for Business in Richmond Hill and Markham.
They claimed to cover all East/West Beaver Creek and most industrial
parks in Warden/14th. The sales guy told me that their 10Mbps is much
cheaper than UU's T1.

It's interesting to see this new startup ISP got over 250 corporate
clients in just a few months, looks like we now have a choice. My
buddy up in Barrie told me that the City of Barrie has switched to
them recently.

Anybody have experience with terago?

Experience?

Yeah, I just heard that they laid off most if not all of the Calgary (head)
office.....

Sounds more like a racehorse terago. At least the horse sounds like a go
instead of a stiff meaning to hold the horse back on purpose.

I could point out that whether or not this is true, all companies do it to
some degree or another.

The medium doesn't betray the message.

If you are talking in public at some kind of public event about your company
and someone decides to go check it out is no different.

There is a big difference between talking about your company in general
(Ralph does it all the time and thats fine) and misrepresenting yourself as
a non-employee with no vested interest in the company. They could have
simply put AD: before the message or said that they work for Terago and are
now offering services in new areas. Posing as 2 potential customers and
having a one way conversation with yourself is nothing less than slimey
gorilla marketing and SPAM. He was not doing his company any favors.

This is true also.

I feel the need to defend it anyway. The truth is, I am an employee of
TeraGo, I'm the sales rep for Windsor. And I hated to see this kind of
negative publicity. I can't apologize for it because it's not my department
that handles that sort of marketing, but I will say this. I am always honest
in my posts.

We all hate to see this sort of thing. I feel bad for Terago, I don't know
the company but I want all wireless networks to do well. I am a big fan of
wireless networks and wireless technology in general and wireless has enough
'preceived' obstacles without having this sort of negative publicity. It
could have been avoided by just being up front and pre-pending the subject
with AD:

Hi,

I have been reading this newsgroup for many months and I have not seen
irresponsible behavior like this in this newsgroup. Don't get me
wrong, I don't mean terago, I mean the other two gentlemen Tommy and
Darrell.

All of your complaints about terago is simply based on Mr. Larose's
comment on the original NNTP of Johnson's posting. Guys, alter.net is
UUNet (Worldcom), not terago's, their domain is terago.ca, not
alter.net!! Do you also know that there is a manufacturer that makes
broadband router called "terago" as well? Check out www.terago.com.
So, a simple NNTP such as "terago5-gw.customer.alter.net" can mean
that the post is made via a terago router-gateway from a UUNet
(alter.net) network. It's from UU, not terago.ca!

Furthermore, how do you know if the original writer does not fake his
NNTP entry? It's easy. I am posting this message from a special
gateway. If you do a reverse NNTP trace from my post, you may believe
that I'm from the US, but I can tell you that I am writing to you from
downtown Toronto.

Ok, even if the NNTP stamp is real and that NNTP is actually part of
the terago network, how can you guys assume that it is coming from the
terago "staff"? Can it be written by one of the terago "customers" who
use their network? Can it be written by some other "ISPs" who use the
terago network as backbone? Can it be written by a competitor who hack
into their network and write this nasty post? There are so many
possibilities and yet, people in this newsgroup started to yell and
complain without first verify their claims. In this case, I think the
victim is actually the company terago network.

I'm also sad to see that Tommy is insulting the respectful Dan R. who
worked at Maxlink. Dan told us the real Maxlink story but this guy Tom
said he is saying "a bunch of crap". My god!

Then, this Mr. I-don't-like-terago person Darrell said Dan R. is
coming from terago too! Dan, I feel sorry for you.

If someone post a bad message from @yahoo.com, would you say that it's
coming from the staff of yahoo? Come on, of course not!

Also, some of you are "assuming" people who use hotmail and google are
bad people who want to hide their identities? Come on, of course not!
Perhaps Johnson is writing from his school lab that is set up for
webbrowsing? You know schools does not have newsgroups clients set up
on their lab, so using hotmail and google maybe the only way to post
message to this newgroup for this kid.

This guy Johnson did ask people for help in his DSL homework back in
Nov, it is not a suprised for me to assume that from his research, he
learn of this great company called terago and want to share his
findings to other people. How many times you have seen people saying
"I like Linux" and recommending it to other people over the "Wintel"
platform. I have seen many people doing that, so Johnson's
recommendation of terago is not a suprise to me.

Ok, let's stop this discussion here. I'm sure some of you will not
agree with my above points, but hey, this type of discussion should
not happen here. If you dislike someone's post, please e-mail him
directly, and not to waste people's bandwidth and time here. (OK, I
have to apologize here as I continue this thread).

Stop! talk about something more meaningful. I just don't want to see
people insulting each other based on some questionable "claims" made
by someone out there.

Darel.

TOMMY's posting might not have been appropriate, but Mr. Larose's was:
it's quite blatant that the same guy spammed this group under different
aliases. What is your reason for defending Terago so strongly?

Gee, I guess it's too bad that Tommy is in my killfile, otherwise I would
have read whatever he had to say about me... oh well...

Anyway, you can feel extra sorry for me, as your tense is incorrect. I'm
still working at Maxlink.

Cheers!

Dan.
