Hey Gang,
Here's what we're looking at for Cogeco territory in Ontario.
6 mbps
75 Gigs - $24.95
300 Gigs - $32.95
Unlimited - $43.95
10 mbps
150 Gigs - $34.95
300 Gigs - $42.95
Unlimited - $57.95
20 mbps
150 Gigs - $39.95
300 Gigs - $49.95
Unlimited - $79.95
30 mbps
150 Gigs - $62.95
300 Gigs - $69.95
Unlimited - $99.95
60 mbps
150 Gigs - $92.95
300 Gigs - $116.95
Unlimited - $191.95
On plans that have usage caps - unlimited between 2am and 8am
existing users get migrated according to this:
3meg/sec speed becomes 6meg/sec
7meg/sec speed becomes 10meg/sec
14meg/sec speed becomes 20meg/sec
16meg/sec speed becomes 30meg/sec
switching to lower tiers or speeds costs $5 to the incumbent.. so it's easy to change..

I hope this isn't an insight to what Rogers pricing will go to. |

That's pretty shitty Marc. Feel bad for you guys. :\
CRTC seriously got the numbers wrong, when the incumbent's pricing is cheaper than the TPIA's pricing on the incumbent's network.
So disgusted with the CRTC.

kudos:14 | I expect that not everybody would do that.
I've tried to be as realistic as possible... I dont have the best usage data for those speeds. I have the 60meg speed at my house and I can't even get top speed all the time even if I wanted to...
I've tried being as reasonable as possible. I didn't want to be seen to be crying wolf or anything like that. This is my best guess as to what we might logically price this stuff out at. Frankly, you'd be better off going with Cogeco.. (edit: no really, please go with cogeco if you want 300gig on a 60meg line)

I tried making the 150gig prices as attractive as possible.

That's a good question. I dont know yet. I've just focused on the prices.
On the DSL front, we'll have some pretty good options there.

Can we expect a similar scary story with Vidéotron? (tho their cost per 100 Mbits has increased by a bit over 10%, but nowhere as near to Cogeco levels). |

| reply to TSI Marc
Thanks Marc, I guess Cogeco is just going to be pain for you guys, only someone who had no options will stay there |

Here's what we're looking at for Cogeco territory in Ontario.
20 mbps
150 Gigs - $49.95
300 Gigs - $54.95
Unlimited - $79.95
said by TSI Marc:Here's what we're looking at for Telus territory out west.
15 mbps
300 Gigs - $39.99
Unlimited - $47.99
25 mbps
300 Gigs - $44.99
Unlimited -$54.99
By way of comparing, here in MB with MTS I get 20Mbs/2Mbs DSL for $60.00/mth unlimited
It really look that when I am back in Eastern Ontario, with only legacy DSL or Cogeco for infrastructure, it's going to cost a lot more. Go figure, going from sparsely populated to a much higher pop density only to end up paying more for less.
Yep, competition is alive and well (no barb at TS here as they have to use existing infrastructure). |

Videotron, I'm still working on. The rate is way high though. It's $2031, quite a bit less than the $2556 from Cogeco but still very high.
