| New Rogers Ultimate Rollout Does anybody have any idea of the time frame for when they're expanding the availability of this service? I'm in Mississauga and searching has yielded no results, and customer service has no answers.
If anybody has ANY idea it'd be great to know! |

| End of this year is the ETA, they will probably advertise it during Christmas time. |

Don't really matter much now. Saw this morning Bell is offering 25/10 for $29.95 month. Almost $100 less than Rogers for 10mbps up................ |

Proabably a 6 month intro promo for new customers. Bell/s regular price 25/10 with 125GB is $60, and that's if your're bundled. Plus, you have to deal with the most evil company in the world. And very few people will notice any advantage with 10Mbps up. |

Currently Bell 25/10 = $29.95 for 6 mos then $36.95 reg price as of this morning.....saw the flash ads 10 minutes ago.
10mbps up would make a HUGE difference for me. I spend 90% of my time uploading. Bell says "80MB=3.7 seconds up" for $36.95 reg price. My Rogers $48.99 Express takes 20 minutes to upload 80 MB...............No comparison period.
New Bell 25/10 may also need to be in a bundle. They didn't go into details....Still a FANTASTIC deal for some. |

I don't know where you're seeing that. When I load the prices up on bell.ca I'm seeing $63.95/mo before any promo or bundle discounts. |

do the math on that, it doesn't add up. it's way more than 3.7 seconds He's obviously confusing packages. Moving 80 megabytes in 3.7 seconds is what the 175/175 package could (theoretically) do. |

I can almost guarantee that was speeds "up to 25/10 available" and prices "starting at $29.95*".
Considering the pricing lines up exactly with Bell's website for 5/1: $29.95 for 6 months and $36.95 ongoing (in a bundle). |

Very misleading the way it's presented. Sad when you almost need an engineering degree to decypher a Bell Internet ad.....Small wonder the average Joe often gets suckered into contracts they neither wanted nor understood to begin with. |

10mbps up would make a HUGE difference for me. I spend 90% of my time uploading. This is the precise reason I need the service. I upload gigs upon gigs weekly (going over my cap is an inevitability).
As I was reading the replies, I was on the phone with Rogers and they were able to retain the discounts I had applied (which took effect last week ... it's one of those large discounts talked about in another thread) .. and they were able to give me kind of a hybrid of the old 75mbit download with the new 10 mbit upstream for the same rate I was paying for the 2mbit upstream.
Apparently, it's applied now, I'm about to test this and I'll report back here!
Update: Seems it may be a few hours until it hits my modem .. I'll post when it's done / my experiences |

You conveniently forget that bells 25/10 is f**king dsl. Not everyone can get that speed. While on rogers you don't have that issue. Also bell real fibre is very limited. Rogers at the moment has the best deals hands down with a better network as well. |

3 edits | said by technocar2:Rogers at the moment has the best deals hands down..... With all due respect my friend, that's nonsense. When I got my first Rogers cable bill it was $15 a month. The only difference between now and back then (1973) is the addition of the internet. Back then Rogers was friendly, helpful and great value for the money. Customers were happy, Rogers was well respected.
Obviously along the line the train has gone off the tracks. The quality of service is way down, The customer's ability to choose is disappearing, and Rogers is taking you to the cleaners.
We bought and paid for the Rogers network 40 plus years ago. Sure, there's been some improvements along the way but the problems and price hikes diminish any customer benefit period. The Internet is a cash cow running on the previously established cable network and bandwidth spectrum. Rogers should be asking next to nothing for broadband service. They'd still make a hefty profit.
People these days are lapping it up because they don't know any better. Choosing the best "deal" between Rotten Apples is irrelevant. You're still paying an arm and a leg for Rotten Apples.
Things look all peachy these days until you realize the way things used to be and then see how they actually turned out.......... |

| I honestly could care less about 40 yrs ago. What matters is rogers currently network infrastructure is in way better shape than bell's network mainly due to docsis. If someone builds out the 100% fibre network then I will say the same about them as I did for rogers.
If rogers 150/10 is "rotten apples" then what do you call bell's 25/10 or indies' 28/1???  What are you trying to get at mate, I simply stated a fact that cable is better than dsl? |

I call it "more widely available". Most of Rogers territory is still limited to 2Mbps up (at most). |
