Re: Rogers is desperate to keep customers

The thing is in 2yrs you say.. give me a deal or else... TPIA should be flourishing even better by then.

Either that, or these type of deals will be what's needed by Rogers to kill demand for TPIA.

That is very much what I am thinking as well. 250GB/month is enough for ~97% of people and under $50/month for 75Mbps would be a tough offer to pass for people who are already shelling out over $40/month for whatever they have now.

And once they've killed TPIA, the $45/month will magically become $100 or more.

We'll probably see the TPIAs filing CRTC complaints about wholesale rates preventing them from matching the incumbents' retention offers if enough people end up going back with incumbents due to promo/retention deals 3rd-party ISPs cannot match due to wholesale rates and the rate structure.

TPIA users can't switch back to Robellus though. At least not in the GTA, and for me. I don't see any Rogers promotions except for the student deals, and that would mean that my SB6120 would be going to waste.
