| Why is 6/0.8 more expensive than 7/1? When my neighbourhood gets upgraded to FTTN will my price automatically drop? Right now my area is still on 5/0.8. |

It's cheaper to go FTTN..
you'd likely have to upgrade to get FTTN.. and surely if you got upgraded, you could also get higher speeds.
there's a push to actively move people to FTTN.

now those 15/1 rates look better and going down as you said before!
No more 10/1 plan though?
not that I want it, but some might. |

I think these rates are down right stupid good!
no more 10meg plan.. 15 is "up to".. so for places where you can't get the full 15.

So I have to pay for an upgrade to save $2 per month. I don't care about higher speeds. |

should I put the 6 meg prices back up to give you an extra incentive to go FTTN?

seriously though.. you should upgrade to FTTN if its available. you'll likely have a more reliable service since it's all new infrastructure.. the 6 meg stuff is all on the older plant...

And given this incentive, and taking 7/1, what is involved changing to 15/1 at a later date? It's just a profile change is it not? |

yes I think so. I think with Bell it's $25 but I'll need to double check that.

Really liking the prices for the 25/10 300 Gig package. Gonna have to make my mind up once the cogeco prices and modem stuff is all finalized but from the looks of it I should be saving near $50-60 a month on internet compared to what I am paying now with Cogeco. |

Hmm, I don't understand why 6/0.8 mbps is more expensive than 7/1 mbps (FTTN).
If I change from 6/0.8 mbps to 7/1 mbps (FTTN) or 15/1 mbps (FTTN) can I still use my same speedtouch modem that I use with 6/0.8 mbps, or do I need a new modem? |

Though some might resent that "up to" for the 10mb speeds, but I guess you can't please everyone. Even if it is cheaper then the 10mb plan was!
Thanks for all the hard work Marc.
have another beer!

I tweaked the Cogeco rates yesterday already.. those aren't likely to change anymore.
that's great to hear though. that's quite a bit of money.
