"In the latest turn in an ongoing legal dispute, Canadian ISP TekSavvy has been ordered to hand over the IP addresses information of subscribers allegedly engaging in copyright infringement of Voltage Pictures works.
While it doesn't look like a great decision on the surface (an IP address does not uniquely identify an infringer), the court specifically said it wants to sign off on the wording of any contact notices issued by Voltage to prevent extortionary "Copyright Troll" messages. It will be interesting to see if this new decision scales."

Just wanted to give them a shout-out.
Been a happy customer for a couple years now - they're head & shoulders above the competition.
They're a re-seller of Bell, Shaw, Rogers, etc.
A pleasure to deal with and they don't take every opportunity to bend me over and ream me. Also, they're cheaper internet access over Shaw's cable lines than through Shaw themselves.
