said by imtiax:A friend of mine locked into the 8 year deal 4 months ago and tried to cancel and was told he'd have to pay $20 a month for every remaining month.
So 12*7years+8 months = 92 months remaining in his 8 years.
92 * $20 = $1840
Ridiculous
What? That doesn't make any sense. If the price isn't locked in for 8 years, then his contract certainly isn't 8 years either.
Pretty sure these deals were advertised as no contract, but even if he is on one, it's probably more like 1 year. Also, I seem to recall that every time Rogers makes a material change to service, such as increasing prices, they open themselves up to early contract cancellations WITHOUT penalty to you (check their TOS for "remedy").
Because... I think certain government agencies would have something to say about Rogers locking you into a contract where Rogers can do whatever they want at any time, such as cutting your service level in half, raising your prices 1,000%, demanding you only connect to the internet while hopping on one foot... and you cannot in any way get out of that contract after such changes without paying extortion money.
