Re: Major CRTC decision next week. - CBB said by Perma:said by Dones:Monday is family day
Family day is a provincial holiday, not federal. CRTC is a federal agency. Yea it is.thats why I think Monday may be the day. Depends on if the CRTC thinks it will move the stock markets or not.To be honest I dont think the stock market even knows the CRTC exists lol |

I'd expect at least a couple of the TPIA providers to have unlimited plan available on very high speeds...but given how much bandwidth-hours such accounts could use, I'd expect such plans to be pretty pricey. |

| said by vincom:rogers users think its a good deal to pay over $100 for their internet w/the unlimited addon, i think indies would comeout alot cheaper than that Considering how many people are complaining about inconsistent speeds with TPIAs but not with the incumbents themselves in large part due to inefficient traffic hand-off between TPIAs and incumbents, I think there is a legitimate case for people preferring the incumbent's premium price to avoid most back-end speed-related headaches.
While it hasn't gotten bad to the point that I would personally consider switching back to expensive incumbent internet, the inconsistency is definitely irritating. |

| Hey there IE.
That's precisely the situation I am in.
I desperately DO NOT WANT to go back to Bell.
I will pay higher monthly charges to TSI to avoid doing so.
But I need a functional internet. Mine is still (literally), unusable for over half of my waking hours. 800ms+ average ping.

said by vincom:is the cable issues todo w/disagreagation, and will aggregation solve those issues Aggregated TPIA on Rogers should be much easier to manage for ISPs: only one trunk to Rogers-land to upgrade, manage and maintain rather than hundreds of per-POI endpoints/links. The main problem with aggregated is the current CBB rates that make buying sufficient capacity to avoid major peak-hours issues economically difficult if not impossible without increasing prices. |

Well lets hope the rates are gonna be significantly lower... Otherwise Bell/Rogers and the rest of the cartel are gonna suck a lot of users back into their camp with those unlimited "deals".

Incredible.

It can't be, they said unlimited was pointless as 95% of their customers never hit their caps... how could they, why would they... NEVER! |

They've always had unlimited on Cogeco. Teksavvy's aggregate plans are identical to what they sold in Chatham. |

said by Tx:It can't be, they said unlimited was pointless as 95% of their customers never hit their caps. Many people who buy into unlimited do so simply because they do not want to worry about how much they use but still wouldn't go over their caps by much (if at all) even if they did not buy into unlimited.
With the $10 unlimited (after $20 bundle discount), getting unlimited even if you do not need that much is not that hard a decision to make if the prospect of paying an extra $1.50/GB beyond your cap (or going with a 3rd-party ISP) scares you. For the incumbent, this is a guaranteed $10/month extra instead of random amount between $0 and whatever the overage cap is. |

Has there been a formal announcement from TSI to state that such packages and prices are to be offered to everyone else in Cogeco-Land, or are you just quoting from the TSI website's not yet updated Chatham rate pages ?
AFAIK, Marc has not nailed anything down yet for us, regarding new cable packages and prices. |

Except the incumbent unlimited deals are for like 6 months then goes back to a full rate... its just another scheme.
Whereas, TPIA's oughta be able to continue to offer unlimited tiers indefinitely, we can hope.

I suppose nothing has been formalized but there was a semi-formal announcement stating unlimited would be offered in Cogeco's entire Ontario footprint.
Their Chatham cable offering was too small a sample to consider anything more than a beta.

| My plan was to always stay with an independent ISP but now Bell says Fibe TV will be available here in the next few months. This is a dilemma for me. If I can get Fibe TV and keep my TSI internet that would be perfect. I'm a little tired of the satellite. |
