Rogers charges $3.95/mth to suspend their service which Bell's charge is $10.00/mth.

Rogers basic service is $27.95/mth while Bell's lowest charge is $35/mth in a bundle otherwise $40/mth.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20473986 Tue, 13 May 2008 06:42:09 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20421567 Adam20 : That is true, but if you are also Renting To Own the modem from bell then you would have to pay that fee plus the 10$ per month.

I would like to use one at my Cottage in Muskoka, Ontario. I've confirmed service is available from both providers.

I'm now trying to figure out which is better for seasonal shutdown. I'm looking for the basic service from each.

Bell says my service can be suspended for $10/month. I don't believe I have this cost associated with ExpressVu when I suspend it. I can also go to a no contract service which is about $5 more per month. I was told there is no new activation charge when I reactivate it. I am a bit dubious of this statement. The rep could not send me an email confirmation on that point and I have not seen it in any documentation.

Rogers will suspend for $3.95/month. I can also cancel it and reactivate in the spring but may have to pay the activation fee if there is no promotion on.

My take at the moment that Rogers, which is cheaper, and according to the threads I've read, more conservative on their estimates, seems to the best way to go.

Looking for anyone else's experience since I have a lot of Bell services already.

Thanks]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20394303 Sun, 27 Apr 2008 09:17:27 EDT
