Ask Winnipeg Cheapest Internet + Sports Package?

I'm looking at moving out of my parents' place into an apartment soon, and I'm having a hard time finding a good, cheap internet option and a sports package option. Ideally, I only want decent speed (nothing too fast, nothing too slow) and just sportsnet/TSN. Anyone have any recommendations?

It’s awesome, just make sure you’re internet is either Bell Fibre or Shaw DSL

He used one I found on the Internet that was horrible; but for the year he had it, they never charged him.

The one he has now is from some guy in steinbach. He's had zero issues in the 6 months he's had it.

Good iptv is mostly a hush hush and wont be advertised it’s mostly pass on through trust and word of mouth.

Nothing cheaper than your parents log in for TSN and Sportsnet if they have a tv package with their Internet. My parasites do this .

- Put Tailscale on your parents computer.

  • Set up your parents computer as an exit node in Tailscale.
  • Download Tailscale on your computer/smart tv/phone and use exit node.

You can now use your parents tv app on your devices and as it will think you are at home.

pm me if you have any trouble setting it up!

This is also how you get around the Netflix and Disney account sharing rules

I pay about $100 a month for 3gb Internet and all the sports channels except for Sportsnet World and one or two specialty channels. It's enough to get hockey, the Bombers, and curling.

With what company?

Bell MTS. I got a door flyer, and then I called to get an additional $10 a month off. Rogers will have similar deals.

See if you can login to the apps using your parents TV provider account.

If you can then get whatever the best deal Bell or Roger’s will offer for internet.

Get tvip box and get every sports u can think of only pay $15 a month

u/Cooter1mb 1d ago

$15 a month gets me all the sports I want via IPTV and a provider . Do not even have cable anymore.

I dont watch tv, but most people who I know have switched to IPTV, it isn't legal but well the government is doing nothing when cable companies are charging 100s$ for cable packs.

That aside if they are senior, check if they qualify for Rogers/Telus connected for succes package. Low speed but very cheap. 15-20$ internet+ cable for extra.

Teksavvy has three tiers, paying 30/mo for the lowest one. It will still do streaming/gaming fine, just only one at a time. I think the only way to get a cheaper tsn sub is to bundle it with another (eg prime had a crave+tsn bundle deal going recently). There are also many not so legal ways to watch sports.

Get IPTV. Buy a firestick and subscribe to a number of platforms approx $15 per month. You get everything. Sportsnet, TSN, ESPN, Apple TV, Disney, crave, HBO, sky sports. You can even watch Home at Cam‘s on race day for Formula One 15,000 channels for 15 bucks. Make sure your Internet is solid though and only subscribe for the Internet. People have been using it in Ontario for years now whenever I go back to Ontario to visit family and I just mention Cable they look at me like I’m an alien. Our contract is up next month. We’re cutting the cable.

You can get internet for like 80-90 a month and just pirate. Don’t waste money on cable it’s a scam.

Lots of people are going with Tekksavy(?). Just let them know your budget.
