Not entirely abruptly. The downfall was seen back in 2018. I, like most listeners, simply didn't believe the transmission would end. Like a warm security blanket the signal has bee…

TekSavvy is one of the only major wholesale-based ISPs left. I was a happy customer for years but they are wholly dependent on the big providers for the pipes which meant that I ha…
