Costs of Living in Toronto

[kahiar]

People, do not bother with the big companies for internet if you want to save money...

Look up TekSavvy... (http://teksavvy.com/) pay less for the same quality with these guys... i've got cable for $45/month and a 1.8mb connection that has been rock solid so far and i believe i'm saving a big chunk vs. the big companies and and very good data limits...

I also researched and saved more than 50% on the cost of purchasing a modem...

Ask me if you need any further specific info.

Dear forum members already in Canada,
Can I bring LCD 45" television to Canada from Saudi Arabia? I found in some threads that it is not wise to bring such things due to some voltage difference but what you guys say if I use some device to change voltage.
Thanks & regards

thank you for the information!

Hi guys, i want to ask is there any package from these companies that comes with Internet, tv and phone like the way it is here in the uk for example the sky tv and or Virgin. because it is sometimes reasonable when you take the three together!

Thank you

MY wife and I live near to downtown (Ossington Subway) in a spacious basement of a well maintained house. I will put down our monthly expense as follows:

Monthly rent - 900 (inclusive of high speed internet, TV and utilities)

Grocery - 350 (we shop from No Frills, which is just few minutes walk from our house)

TTC Monthly passes - 252

Telephone - 110

Misc - 200

Total - $ 1812

We have tried to manage to live in the above range for the past 7 months since landing. Will upgrade to an apartment soon since I have just landed on a job (after 8 months of struggle). But we are very happy with our current location which is very safe and easily accessible by TTC
