Re: Bell now giving unlimited usage Signed up for Bell, giving rogers 1 month to match or beat. Unlimited with the third parties is going bye bye with the new ruling on non-aggregate speeds.. |

| I've been a Rogers customer since god knows when but I'm ready to switch everything over to Bell with this unlimited bandwidth offer. I am paying Rogers too dam much with their outrageous $100 over limit charge (on extreme plan). I will have better TV experience with Bell (FibeTV > RogersTV, free PVR), faster internet upload speed, and on top of that I can save a lot of money. There's NO reason not to switch. I'm sure Rogers are just waiting around 1 or 2 month to assess what the damage can be. If the loss is minimal they will just toss us something disgraceful like a 10% discount offer. Never expect anything remotely decent from these guys. Sorry Rogers, I'm out. |

Without third parties you would NEVER have access to unlimited ... |

The only thing that will be restricted is usage during peak hours. If the rates remain as they are some providers will be creative in how they offer unlimited, but will still offer it. |

I couldn't agree more. Even if bell costs a few dollars more, I will be switching to them when all my discounts expire. I have had it, not with the pricing, or even the caps, its just Rogers is last to the party. Their PVR's are garbage, their new interface for tv is crap to the largest stink, and its been nothing but problems. They rape you on terminal rentals, and the PQ is always sub standard. |

Has anyone been able to get more usage out of Rogers using the unlimited bandwidth at Bell as a threat? |

Rogers has told frontline representatives that they have no plans to offer unlimited at this time. They did however, bring back their Extreme with 200GB and free modem rental at $45 for 8 years, no contract promo. |

I'm not a Rogers Internet customer anymore, but I think I will also call and inquire about their service, and ask them why I would sign up with them when Bell is offering something so much better. |
|
| reply to yyzlhr
I called. No luck. Was also told it would cost me $360 to break my contract and leave. |
|
| they just jacked up the prices -- you hould be able to terminate without cost. |

I don't know where this eight years business started but the deal is only for 8 months to jack in the students. I saw the ad in my building late last August... |

This is a brilliant move by Bell. It forces Rogers hand to either NOT offer it OR offer it. They couldn't have released this at a better time.
If Rogers does offer it they may have to re-introduce traffic management which would make them look worse than they already do, Rogers just finished removing it at the start of 2013. I don't think Rogers network could handle unlimited with some kind of negative impact to the network.
If they don't offer it people with start moving to bell for more reasons than just promo flipping. Bell already offers a far superior Set top box with their fibe service, the guide is much faster. Bell is a little cheaper when off promotion. Now they are rolling out this unlimited internet...Rogers better wake up. |

I know there is argument over this, but 8 years for 200 GB is valid.
Problem: What Rogers my offer in the meantime.

As long as Fibe TV requires a 2 year contract, I am not interested. However, the $30 unlimited bandwidth option for internet is clever. Don't forget to buy the add-on though, the max overage charge with no add-on is still $80. |

I was not obligated to any contract, I signed up the first week of January. Free PVR for 3 years and then I own it and $5 (and change) a month for my extra STB and after 3 years I own it.
I'm in Quebec though
I was a proud Bell hater but I have to say outside of the obvious fact that I am paying more for my internet the installation process (I was Videotron for TV, ElectronicBox for internet) and service when you call the FibeTV number has been fantastic

I recently contemplated a switch to Fibe TV. Was told you can take it without a contract, but the install fee was outrageous. |

In Ontario, it's:
- $49.95 install fee with 2 year contract
- $249.95 install fee with no contract
Quebec is the only province with à-la-carte programming. Also they still require you to take Internet service (no standalone option for IPTV). |
