Thinking of switching - retention has me wondering....Current Service: 25/2 - 300GB - roughly $80 a month Start.ca offer: 45/4 - 350GB - roughly $73 a month
Rogers Retention offer: 150/10 - 250GB roughly $81 a month
I don't want to lose that 50GB a month but I think that's a pretty sweet deal for the 150/10 from Rogers... Suggestions anyone? Do you think Rogers will eventually increase caps due to Bell changes? |

Can you check what your last 3 monthly data usages have been? If you have not gone over 250GB or gotten close to it, the retention offer might be a good deal. |

That is a pretty great offer but for me personally there comes a point when it's less about the speeds and more about the cap. |

That offer I would jump on given my use reports. How long do you need to commit for that kind of offer with Rogers? Who do I call |

Call and say you want to cancel, tell them who you want to switch too and the plan with details and pricing. They will throw a similar if not the same offer to you to try and dissuade you from cancelling. |

It looks like they're giving you 40% off or so. So do you have any other services with Rogers? They may still have the "70% off internet if you pay full price for a second service" deal, which gets me both 150/10 AND basic cable for less than $80/mo. |
|

That's a sweet deal. How long is the contract for? |

Another thing. My speed with a new Hitron modem went from 16/1 to 37/3 but yet I see no difference in speed, what's the use of having a 150/10 pipeline if the suppliers (websites like Youtube) are slow & jammed with traffic? |

No it's been modified so that existing customers can get it too. |

I was offered the extreme deal last night as well. I just wish I could have more than 200 gigs. Right now i have unlimited with bell but only 12Mbps. Their other packages aren't available in my area yet. |

Don't forget that there reaches a point where your speed does not matter, the network and the servers at the other end may not be able to maximize the bandwidth.
Caps are more important. |

He pulled up the screen for 35/3 200GB @$45 8 year price guarantee. No dice for current customers. After reading your post ( I know you usually have the inside scoop) I asked Adam to triple check the "new customer only" policy and he read it to me from the screen he was looking at. Soooo, don't know what to try next........ |

The promo code should work regardless if you don't have an existing promotion. |

What made them decide on "8" years?
Something smells fishy. |

its not an 8yr contract, it an 8yr price lock.........but i agree, something not right, rogers knows something that we dont, there could be a price war coming on with the agregate-tpia implementation |

Maybe it allows (forces) the TPIA's to be less competitive with the incumbents? I'm not sure how the wholesaling works, but there must be a reason why Teksavvy or Start can be so inexpensive, compared to Rogers |

Is this Rogers offer to combat Bell's Unlimited Usage or is that what they've been giving out for a while now? |

I'm so torn right now, i really want to switch to Tekksavvys 25/10 plan but part of me wants to see if Rogers will match Bell's Unlimited usage. |
