Honestly at current CBB & Port access prices, i don't see how TSI could offer 150 & 250 cheaper than Rogers...

32x8 modems do not even exist on the market yet. Vendors are at various stages of getting equipment ready for sale and demoing the new modems. You won't see such equipment until the end of the year and even then that doesn't mean you can actually purchase one for your own use by then. What you're looking for based on current availability of hardware alone (such as Hitron CDA3 / Technicolor TC7230) is a 24x8 modem, but AFAIK the issues with provisioning such modems on Rogers network has not been dealt with.

Your grandfathered on the 150/10, the new tariffs are completely different pricing.

The 150/15 was being offered for a few months for the same price as my 150/10. so

By the time TSI gets the 32x8 modems Rogers will be requiring 64x16 modems on their top tier speeds...

I think that was a mistake by Rogers, they upgraded some wholesale people to 150/15 on the 8x4 modems... I remember reading this in Start's forum, and some people were reverted but some they forgot about.

The new tariffs for 150/15 and 250/15 are much more expensive.

Hmm.. I think there was a mistake too. Something about certain neighbourhoods being good for 15 up and others only good for 10 up maybe?

Anyway, there definitely was allowance made for 150/15 on 8x4 modems, because 24x8 modems were unavailable. Rogers specifically allowed TPIA sign ups with 8x4 modems from introduction (May 2014 ish) to October 31st 2014.

Same difference, there was a period that Rogers was still allowing 8x4 modems on the 150/15 until Fall 2014 as that was when the new modems were supposed be available for TPIA.

Not so sure... I did request a few times to be upgraded to 150/15 where unlimited is $120... where unlimited on 150/10 is $210...

Unfortunately Rogers blocked every attempt... so ZtC for now
