4 edits | rogers matchs bell for unlimited usage on internet looks like rogers might(official now »www.rogers.com/web/content/unlim···-_-slot2) be matching bell on the unlimited option, $10 extra for 3 services, $30 extra for 1 service, for a limited time, starting feb 19,they are supposed to be update their home page later today, read it here »Unlimited Internet option on Rogers for a limited time, can any1 confirm
looks like we got a price war going on, still wont switch to rogers but it makes it very interesting as to usage problems, i thought they couldnt because it fracks up their network, what a bunch of a-ols(rogers and bell)
edit: only signups till march 31, wtf |

Except Bell's unlimited seems to be a long-term offer, while Rogers is a limited-time thing clearly designed to just stem the tide of the initial surge in switchers...

Is it really a price war when it's the same price? |

I doubt that would ever happen due to the third world infrastructure that hasn't been updated in 3 decades. Rogers should be shutdown due to lack of bandwidth. |

Re: rogers matchs bell for unlimited usage on internet so they use a USB cable lol for their infinity sign
So they are forcing people that want unlimited basically to have 3 services.. isn't that something with the competition bureau to get invovled?
Can someone please remind me what happened to all this so called "congestion" and also that Unlimited can't be offered, and all the hell that stop the meter campaigns went through |

If only they'd do unlimited Fibre. 250 mbits each way? That would be HOT. Even at the $256 it would end up per month. HOT enough I'd actually consider going back to Rogers, and trust me, that would take some serious LAVA HOT pricing.  |

Or you can just give me $256/month and I'll make promises, lie to you, steal your money and kick you in the nuts each and every month.... |

Lemeesee...
Rogers... »www.rogers.com/web/content/unlim···-_-slot2 says to add $30/month if I don't have a bundle. Up to 6 mbps is $41.49/month. Add $30/month = $71.49/month. Rogers isn't going to pull me away from Teksavvy with that pricing.
Bell... »www.bell.ca/Bell_Internet/Promot···dserving says $30/month with 2 services or less. Their 5 mbps "ongoing price" is $39.95/month. Add $30/month = $69.95/month.
Teksavvy... 6 mbps
•75 gigs $29.99/month
•300 gigs $34.99/month
•unlimited $45.99/month
Still no contest. In my case 300 gigs is enough for me, even with the occasional streamed hockey game. And I'm a legitimate paying subscriber to NHL GameCentre Live, so I get the widescreen 3 mbps feed via my HTPC, not some garbage SD feed. |
