Re: [Cable] NEW RATES - Cogeco said by Gone:said by rogersmogers :300 Gigs - $69.95 --- $10 higher then what I pay Start.ca right now You can bet dollars to donuts that Start is going to be making their own price adjustment announcement in the very near future. This week. |

 | reply to TSI Marc Marc, can you offer a 100gb option for the 6mbps Cable at $29.95? I am sure there are users out there (such as me) that could hit 75gb limit but not quite get to the 100gb. |

How fancy are you looking at getting? You could always rate limit a specific customer once they reach a certain limit as a way to reduce pricing on the unlimited packages.
You could get very creative if you had both the will and the money to do it, I suspect. |

 | reply to TSI Marc Marc do you have any idea if Bell is ever going to upgrade their infrastructure in Chatham so we can get better than the 6 mbps option? |

I would give anything to have access to even 16/1 DSL right now here in Fort Erie. |

 TSI MarcPremium,VIP join:2006-06-23 Chatham, ON kudos:14 | maybe the trick is unlimited 6 meg dsl plus 20meg 150gig cable.. dual wireless routers.. switch between the two for simple surfing and for all the heavy stuff use the dsl to keep costs down.
I dunno. *shrug* -- Marc - CEO/TekSavvy |
|
 | reply to TSI Marc really starting to regret switching to cable last week, it's going to cost me $40 a month more to keep my 30mbps unlimited... or I will have to switch to 10mbps to stay at the same price, and I get to pay $5 to do it, could have also saved money and got the D2 modem  |

Can't say it isn't creative, that's for sure. |

 eksterHi there. join:2010-07-16 Lachine, QC kudos:1 | I recall there was some talk of bonding a cable and a DSL line a while back by someone a couple of years ago.
If you guys could get something like that going, a lot of people might jump on that if they can't get more than 6 on DSL. |

Holy crap, there's hope for "small-town" (at least, according to people in the GTA) Ontario after all. |

If you guys could get something like that going, a lot of people might jump on that if they can't get more than 6 on DSL. It was a pet project of CanerisErik back when he was still working at Caneris, I think.
There is a lot of stuff in that space though. I believe most of the Linux based router firmwares are capable of failover and load balancing if you want to dig really deep. Meanwhile there is pfsense. If anybody wants to help me out with pfsense I'd be very appreciative--it has been one of those projects that never really gets started for something like 6 months now.... -- electronicsguru.ca |

 | reply to TSI Marc Is there a working usage meter yet for Cogeco?
I really have no idea what my usage would be as my online activities have changed significantly since I've switched from Cogeco. I used to download a tonne but now hardly download anything but on the other hand stream NHL Gamecenter, MLB.tv, Netflix and other streaming video probably more than I watch satellite tv. I'm at the point where I would cancel satellite completely if I didn't have a wife who required HGTV, Woman's channel and all that other garbage. |
