Re: [Cable] NEW RATES - Rogers said by mlerner:The TPIA links and aggregated TPIA links are both installed and managed by Rogers. So feel free to jump to your own conclusions but it may not necessarily change anything. There's no guarantee but Start isn't plagued by POI routers going down or POI congestion nearly as much as TSI is. So there's a basis for believing APOI will be less problematic. |

| reply to mlerner Just based on the nature of ATPIA things will probably be better. The per-POI issues will be basically neutralized as POI issues will be network wide (Rogers and all ATPIAs) rather than isolated to to single legacy TPIA's.
Basically all of the issues TekSavvy is having with Rogers right now are related to congestion on a per-POI basis related to their backhaul. This will go away under ATPIA. |

 | reply to the_blob said by the_blob:Currently Rogers is offering 150 / 10 for $122.99 + $30/month for unlimited usage... Any plans or possibility that Teksavvy will be able to at least match this offer? Teksavvy's current listed 150 unlimited package price is about $70/month more than that... Yes please go to Rogers, order the 150/10 unlimited option plan and saturate the sh1t out of their network at prime time! TSI has to price this unlimited plan high b/c they get mainly the heavy users from Rogers. This move pushes those heavy users back to Rogers and actually saves TSI money. Good plan by Marc! +1 |

| Considering that everyone will be using Rogers pipes to Toronto and the site of the AggPOI, giving the 150/10 customers back to Rogers doesn't eliminate congestion on the links from the head ends. The amount of Rogers route that TPIA customers must use has become much higher and liable to Rogers disasters |

 mlernerPremium join:2000-11-25 Nepean, ON kudos:5 | Not really, Rogers will just put TPIA connections on lower priority in cases where there is higher load. While as a customer there is no way to know for sure, I have seen some oddball speed issues in the past which seemed to point to QoS rather than actual congestion. |

| reply to PlatooN said by PlatooN:Start also has probably 25% of TSI's customer base I don't know if that's true, at least for Ontario. Start has no presence in Quebec or Western Canada but if we limit the scope to Ontario, Start has been around a year longer than TSI I believe. Their Cable subscriber base might be. They've been servicing all of Rogers footprint for about a year now as well as Cogeco's areas, areas TSI has no presence at all (except for the 20~ POIs TSI has set up on Rogers).
Going by the threads created TPIA Cable has been more problematic for TSI than xDSL GAS/AGAS after initial setups (both seem to have their fair amount of activation issues). |

 GuspazGuspazPremium,MVM join:2001-11-05 Montreal, QC kudos:20 | reply to TSI Marc At one point, TekSavvy represented 25% of all new Rogers internet installs, and they cover a much wider area than Start (including the maritimes and out west), so it wouldn't surprise me if TSI was much larger than Start. -- Developer: Tomato/MLPPP, Linux/MLPPP, etc »fixppp.org |

 | reply to TSI Marc I noticed no mention of the 150 package on your new pricing site this morning. Is this option still planned to be available? |

 | Martin for those on 28mbps can we choose to get bumped down instead of being bumped up and pay an additional 3 dollars a month when these new rates take effect? |
|
 TSI MartinPremium join:2006-02-23 Chatham, ON kudos:23 | We'll have to wait until new packages are out. I don't know what the future holds. But changing plans shouldn't be a problem. All you have to do is ask us.  |
|
 | Thanks TSI Martin & TwiztedZero. Really pumped for the 150/10 service. |

 | reply to TSI Marc said by TSI Marc:said by TypeS:I quoted the first instance of Marc saying it was download only but I'm pretty sure if Marc went and counted his posts, there's a handful of time he's confirmed it already.  hehe. yeah. its funny but I actually do try to keep track of the mujltiple times I've said any specific thing. repeating myself is kind of part of the job it seems. and I'm ok with that. *nudge* *nudge* update the original post  |
|
 | reply to TSI Marc really? 99 dollars for unl cable 30  that's expensive. i think i would stay at unl cable 28. |
|
 | reply to TSI Marc Do we have to wait for the Aggregate POI to be Migrated before the new plans will show up as available ?
The reason I am asking is because it shows I qualify for the 18/28 Cable plan but not the other cable internet plans. |
