You really think Teksavvy is going to offer 30/2 unlimited in Cogeco areas after this decision ? And you edited yours. |

Is shitty as the situation was just made, if you can get unlimited service for the same price or a little higher compared to the incumbent from a TPIA, it might be worth it to many. Cogeco still hasnt announced an unlimited add on yet (I doubt they will now). |

That would be a strategy that some could adopt but their competitors will jump on the chance to offer a better DSL pricing. |

said by TypeS:They could, it just won't be as cheap as they or their customers would have liked. 30Mbps * $25.56/Mbps + $24.98 access = $791.78/mo just for the portion to Cogeco. That doesn't include transport, transit, support, billing, offices, equipment .... |

time for a stop sell on cable
and that might wake up the cable co. as they do make some serious change on wholesale. |

None of them would offer wholesale if they weren't required to do so. |

None of them would offer wholesale if they weren't required to do so. But seeing that those who could will be switching to DSL wont it make The Cable co's want to negotiate the prices a bit. |

Thats true, but Rogers was not bleeding Cable Subscribers the way they are now, and if people could get VDSL at a savings there will be more bleeding on their part. I for cancelled cable TV, and was on Cable internet, before switching back over to DSL after the DNS problem last Christmas. They have lost me completely and I am sure there might be others. But again there is no true competition anyway. |

So, question for you rocca, at what price point on a package would it make sense to sell some of the higher tiers with unlimited or at least a decent cap like 400-500GB? I can eat up a rate hike from TPIA so long as I can keep using my internet connection and not pay exorbitant prices like @ Rogers. Before the unlimited add on, I'd be looking at $170+/month for defacto unlimited on 35/3 from Rogers. |

| Unlimited. LOL.
I'd bet dollars to donuts rocca is driving around town right now buying up all the maximum strength Tums.
The uncontrollable laughter you hear in the background there?
That's Cogeco.
It's little brown envelope day at the CRTC offices today. That would be the snickering.
Consumers in Canada just caught it up the tail pipe.

Yeah I was thinking the exact same thing. Will if they do that, it will be unfair to the DSL users paying costs for cable users.
If the rates go up a lot for users... and I had a company I would just stick to what I had before... DSL and scrap cable for new installs..
But on the other hand how will the rates compare vs the Cable Co's?
that is what we don't know..
example ... if Start offers internet for 52$ and offers 250GB, while rogers offers the same TIER for 52$ and only 100GB... I'd rather go with start ..
It all depends I guess.
and In reality, any fees returned back from BELL, will go to pay for Cable, So the Indies might not have to pay a huge huge chunk. |
