Re: Bell now giving unlimited usage said by TOPDAWG:then dump cable move to a voip phone I pay like 6 bucks a month for my phone I load it up with 25 bucks every few months and use the internet for all your entertainment.
Is that VoIP.MS or some other provider?
I'm using VoIP.ms for call forwarding (long distance)...save a lot of the cell plan. 99 cents per month plus 1 cent per minute VS 20 cents per minute /w Rogers....

said by technocar2:Where are you getting 28/1 for $40? No TPIA offers unlimited 28/1 for $40! Acanac's $39.95 doesn't count because its a 1 year term discount and Robellus also gives generous discount on 1-3 year terms.
The difference is, Acanac's 1 year term is not a locked in contract. You can leave at any time and get a refund for the remaining balance (monthly fee is then based on how long you were a customer). Plus Acanac is unlimited, includes a free VPN and a great referral program (1 referral = 1 free month, 10 = free service as long as you're a customer). |

said by elwoodblues:Are they on crack? They want me to pay over 90 bucks a month for Fibe 25 for unlimited,when I can (for example) get it for $78 from Teksavvy (which IMO is still WAY to pricing). I have unlimited 28/1 for $40.
Teksavvy also has dry loop fees; TSI ends up being more expensive then bell for most of the band rates for 25/10 unlimited. Also TSI has huge start up cost ($100 I think) while bell has nothing (they are waiving all fees).

said by elitefx:What a joke. Bell 25/10= $57.95 base price + $30.00 unlimited= $87.95 + 13% tax= $99.38/month.

This is Bell trying to get their own customers back. Those who have TV/Phone but no internet with them. They know they won't win over people who just want internet service.
Teksavvy offers 28/1 for $61.25.
Bell is offering 25/10 for $67.95 to those with phone/TV and $77.95 for those with one service. If I had two Bell services I would gladly pay $67.95 for 10x the upload speed, one service.. probably not.
I do currently have three services with Rogers (cell, tv, phone) and if they introduced a plan with similar speeds, pricing and unlimited I would without a doubt switch to them. |

Not so much of a joke if you buy home phone and TV with it - then the price is only $10.00 for unlimited.

well I don't see rogers making their serve worse but I do see them just saying well so many people can't get DSL they can't switch so we'll just do our own thing. I don't see many none heavy users switching over this to have any effect on rogers.
hm maybe I should call rogers just to bring up this plan so they know people want it. |

Knowing Rogers, they'll lower the caps (Extreme 40GB cap etc) on all the plans and then charge an extra $60 for the unlimited option on top off their already sky high rates per tier.
If there's any way Rogers can twist this into another price hike 30 days after their LAST price hike they'll do it pronto.
The only customers that will benefit from the unlimited is the probably 1 or 2% that go over each month. For the other 98% it'll be just more pain and suffering subsidizing the DL addicts. |

You can thank TekSavvy for that.
Now, hopefully Rogers will follow up.

said by elwoodblues:said by yyzlhr:$30 won't be appealing to most, but I'm sure there are a lot of people who are with Rogers purely for speeds that TPIAs can't offer
Wait till the end of the week... If they're talking about 150/10, the TPIAs that don't already offer it aren't going to offer it anytime soon. |

said by CFoo:I'm sure Bell will increase their price in the near future as well. Can't see why Bell would opt out losing overages.
It all starts off ooooh aaaaaahhh, later there's running and screaming.
The best way I can sum up, from experience, doing business with Bell:

People I know, who are not tech savvy, do not want to move over to the TPIA even when I explained to them the savings. They are more comfortable with the big boys especially when they have more than one service with them and believe their support will be better (in some cases it is). |

Give rogers at least a month to counter this new bell's offer. Remember rogers has had overage cap for a very long time, first $25 then $50 and now $100, whilst this is bell's very first attempt. With bell's $10 offering rogers really has no choice but to pony up a cheaper overage cap, especially since rogers has "broken" all the contracts with the recent price hike; everyone can cancel without a single dime in early cancellation fee. |

If you need unlimited you should have left for a TPIA. Bell's unlimited deal isn't that great unless you have triple play, considering the prices they charge for their relatively low speeds. I mean I'm paying highest Rogers Tier now.. I rather pay $30 month rather extra $100. |
