I can't wait to cancel ALL my services with Videoblows. This is a slap in the face to customers that have been using their services for YEARS.
Goodbye VL, i rather get an unlimited DSL account then get raped by overcharge fees every month.

| I made some calculations fore when my contract expires:
Primus VoiP
49,95$+ tx, unlimited across USA and Canada with 10 options
Starchoice TV
55,96$+ tx with TNM (same as my current Videotron plan, perhaps with a few channels missing which costs 57,00$)
Teksavvy DSL Dry
49,95$+tx unlimited 7mbit DSL line
Total is 176,71$ including taxes.
I currently pay 181$ per month with Videotron, and it will be 201$ once contract renews, providing I keep going over the 20GB cap. Teksavvy also has a 39,95$ plan with 200GB which is more than enough for my needs (I currently do around 80GB per month) and would then pay 166,71$ versus 201$ witn Videotron.
I thought bundling meant savings? The only extra hassle is actually suscribing to each individual company rather than one, but for almost 40$ a month in savings, you can be damn sure I'll do it! |

| In my case it will be :
Acanac DSL for 18.95$ a moth if payed in 1 shot for the whole year
and a regular Bell phone line in special for 1 year at 20$ a month.
All this for a grand total of roughly 40$/month.
That's it. No TV needed since all my shows are on BT

I thought the minimum Bell phone charge was ~$25.60? Also, what do you do when Acanac bumps up their fees the following year? And 'BT' for TV? |

| Bell offers a rebate for the first year if you sign a contract.
As for Acanac, once the 1 year expires, i'll look for an alternative. Hopefully by then, some ADSL2+ provider will be available at my place.. or maybe, Videotron gets some sense and offers something decent.

Woah, there are cheaper alternatives than Primus for VoIP.
For example, since I don't talk much on the phone, I use »www.unlimitel.ca and www.voxalot.com for the voicemail. Clear voice and no lag.
My bill never goes over $10 a month. Yay! \o/
»www.callcentric.com/ has an unlimited plan for $19.95 and for the few calls I did with them I never had issues.
And to come back to the main topic, yeah, Videotron kind of rapes your wallet when you download alot of content and don't take the cable TV to save $10 of your bill. :X

Teksavvy DOES offer a 7mb connection, BUT it probably only reaches that speed if you live next door to the CO.
I really REALLY hate DSL and all it's limitations |

At the moment, Bell only offers 5Mbps to third-party ADSL providers such as TSI. TSI subscribers who get more than that are either 1) ex-Sympatico subscribers whose Total Internet 7/1 profile has not been downgraded to 5M/800k yet or 2) DSLAM configuration slip-ups Bell will fix as they come across them as people request upgrades to fast-path or anything else that may cause Bell to review the line's DSLAM config.
TSI is currently working on offering ADSL2+ in Bell-land but it is not a done deal yet. |
