Re: [Cable] NEW RATES - Cogecosaid by Davesnothere:said by TSI Marc:Yeah, that's why I'm looking into a rent-to-own.... THAT's the way ! And of course only offer D3 modems. D3 only for sure. We'll stop selling the D2's at month's end. rent-to-own.. everybody is telling me not to do it... you get all sorts of ppl that get the modem and never pay.. never get the modem back... :\ thinking to only have the option for existing users. ofcourse the modem would end up costing more over all but.. even if it was only a 3-6 month thing.. that would help most deal with the initial hit. |

Re: New ONTARIO Plans - Cogeco Networksaid by Davesnothere
GRANDFATHERING START supports it for customers already on all of their earlier discontinued plans, but of course if a customer chooses to switch to a newer plan, they cannot switch back. TSI would only have existing Cogeco customers in Chatham, and I'm not sure what their plans are for THEM - Anybody know ? I'm pretty sure Marc has said that they won't be grandfathering any plans, so I think that would include Chatham. Someone can correct me if I am wrong. |

I imagine most will switch to a different package.. and we will assume the nearest lowest cost option to migrate users too.. |

Thank you for expanding it. said by Davesnothere: ACTIVATION TSI ? - Not sure - Anybody know ? I looked at my invoice, $44.95 Activation Fee -$20.00 Activation Discount (for buying the modem) |

I looked at my invoice, $44.95 Activation Fee -$20.00 Activation Discount (for buying the modem) Thanks for that, and I figured you to be following everything too. So I should mention that in my post on Page 8 of current thread. Also wondering whether TSI plans to waive/reduce the fee if a customer is doing a transfer from another [provider's] active [CABLE] account ? (even if that was not the situation in your specific case) EDITED to be more clear in last above paragraph - see square bracketed additions. |

That I don't know, I changed form TSI DSL to TSI Cable. |

Re: [Cable] NEW RATES - CogecoI can't speak for anyone else, but that sounds like a really good optional choice that may be offered; depending on the individual customer/situation.
It's great you are thinking of such measures. |

said by TSI Marc:rent-to-own.. everybody is telling me not to do it... you get all sorts of ppl that get the modem and never pay.. never get the modem back... :\ thinking to only have the option for existing users. It is a very difficult question.. Believe it or not I get people who need a rent to own option on my used modems, so it is for sure helpful to some customers. I have to believe your advice is right, it is a huge risk.. but then just renting the modem should be equally risky, objectively. Something about rent to own screams extra problems to me, and I can't really think of why. To that end, maybe have some set buy out rules. Don't call it rent to own, just say you can buy out the modem after 1 year at half price, or whatever seems reasonable. Keeping it only for customers with a good track record will definitely reduce the risk, but it will not capture the broad base of people who could make use of the scheme. said by TSI Marc:ofcourse the modem would end up costing more over all but.. even if it was only a 3-6 month thing.. that would help most deal with the initial hit. Used modems are a great way to help people with the initial hit |

Any idea when this is going to be live for non beta testers? I am itching to get rid of the 5/1 dsl connection I have. Yes the prices arent the greatest but I lay the blame for that squarely on the CRTC. |

to TSI Marc
So I see you adjusted these rates as well |
|
|
to TSI Marc
I like the new rates much better! Might even switch to the 10mbps with 150gb download! |
|

to TSI Marc
Good job on reworking the rates Marc. I have both DSL and Cogeco through TSI and the initial rates would've had me cancelling one of them. Now I'll keep both, and keep both with TSI. |

Hey guys just curious... since those unlimited rates seem quite high... how do you guys plan on competing with Bell... They offer FTTH in my neighbourhood with speeds 50/50, 175/175, 10$ extra for unlimited downloads. If I get a package from bell that includes 3 services I will still be paying less than the teksavvy unlimited service. Thats not good Any thoughts/comments? |

Any thoughts/comments? I'm expecting that few will signup for those unlimited plans. |

Just a quick question, in the first post of this thread it mentions unlimited usage during 2am-8am for plans with a usage cap but I see no mention of that on teksavvy.com
Just for peace of mind will that unlimited window still be offered? |

Cogeco supports the DPC3008, as I have am using one at a location with Cogeco's retail Turbo 20. Are they now allowing the DPC3008 to be used with TPIA providers? |
