Re: CABLE 28 after Agg

said by elitefx:

Means the price is guaranteed for 8 years. No contract.

8 years is an awfully long time... If I believed they were really going to honour that, I'd say it is a pretty good deal.

Anyway, could you please link the thread at the Rogers forum.

There's a thread at the RFD forum too: »forums.redflagdeals.com/ ··· 1290815/

I'm also skeptical of the 8 years though. In the past Rogers would usually say something like "20% off," which didn't really mean much when they would increase the prices every 6 months...

That RFD thread certainly confirms the deal.. And it is pretty good, overall. I wouldn't say it is a lot better than Teksavvy/Start/Acanac offers, but it is at least competitive, and better for some people.

People considering it need to pay close attention to these experiences though:

Highly, highly skeptical of an 8-year offer. Because Rogers always makes promises to customers- and keeps them...

If it's an 8 year term, I'd want the terms clearly printed out to me, and signed by an executive. Any CSR can promise you the world...they'll even come over an wash your car

I call BS.

Maybe competition is heating up?

I think Rogers is trying to get people away from TekSavvy and others by promising something that seems like a good deal. At some point, Rogers will then offer other customers some really good deal, such as way more usage, to get these people off of this 8 year plan. Something like 75Mbps/25Mbps with 450GB usage for $54.99.

There is no 8 year plan.
