ROGERS HI-SPEED and DIGITAL CABLE DEAL****** There is a promotion currently being offered by ROGERS for their HI-Speed Internet and Digital Cable. It's a Friends and Family Deal, so like the ROGERS@HOme Deal they had before for $20 a month for 6 months, this is the best deal they will offer for a long time....You have a choice of 6 packages to choose from. You will need an employee Number and other information to be eligible. (at bottom)
*****THE AVERAGE HOME IS CURRENTLY PAYING ABOUT THE SAME AMOUNT PER MONTH FOR A LOT LESS******
1. Basic Cable, Ultimate TV Pack, Extra Outlets, Digital Movies Pack, plus 10 Digital Specialty channels of the customer's choice, Timeshifting and Rogers Hi-Speed Internet.....$99.99
2. Basic Cable, Ultimate TV Pack, Extra Outlets, all Digital Specialty channels, Timeshifting and Rogers Hi-Speed Internet......$99.99
3. Basic Cable, Ultimate TV Pack, Extra Outlets, 1 Multicultural channel of the customer's choice and 10 Digital Specialty channels of the customer's choice, Timeshifting and Rogers Hi-Speed Internet......$99.99
4. Basic Cable, Ultimate TV Pack, Extra Outlets, Digital Movies Pack, plus 10 Digital Specialty channels of the customer's choice, Timeshifting and Rogers Hi-Speed Lite.....$79.99
5. Basic Cable, Ultimate TV Pack, Extra Outlets, all Digital Specialty channels, Timeshifting and Rogers Hi-Speed Internet......$79.99
6. Basic Cable, Ultimate TV Pack, Extra Outlets, 1 Multicultural channel of the customer's choice and 10 Digital Specialty channels of the customer's choice, Timeshifting and Rogers Hi-Speed Lite......$79.99
The difference between packages 1-3 and 4-6 is the Hi-Speed and Rogere Lite. It's the best deal that ROGERS will offer for this bundle as it is a Friends and Family thing. Hi-Speed Internet alone is $45 a month.
Additionally, you'll need to purchase a Digital Terminal and stay on the plan for 12 months. The Digital terminal is $129.99. If you're interested in DIGITAL CABLE and INTERNET this is the BEST deal you will find anywhere. Interactive TV is currently being offered, and Video On Demand will soon be rolled out.
*****THE AVERAGE HOME IS CURRENTLY PAYING ABOUT THE SAME AMOUNT PER MONTH FOR A LOT LESS******
There is a noticeable improvement in picture quality and the available Specialty Channels give you a lot of variety. With the Digital Movie Pack, you get 4-5 TMN channels which play movies all day long. Timeshifting gives you the ability to watch shows you have missed by playing the shows from different time zones. I have all this and it's definitely worth it!!
Email me at verma2001@hotmail.com for more INFORMATION on registering for this offer.
Thanks. |

Re: Rogers Announces New Prices, Bundles It doesn't save my family that much. We get digital now and Internet access for a combined fee of $105 bucks. Does anyone know if the Chinese channel FAIRCHILD counts as the "Multicultural" channel in the BUNDLE 3. If it does, I think I have BUNDLE #3 right now.
I think my DIGITERM rental is waived right now tho.

I have asked the forum moderator to discern whether this is a commercial solicitation or not.

Re: Rogers Announces New Prices, Bundles It's not a family friend thing, anyone can get it, as long as they have a digital terminal.

The fairchild channel is not considered a multicultural channel because you get it with the basic cable and ultimate pak. The Multicultural channels are like the Asia tv and etc channel.

| Bah, digital cable is a ripoff. Thank god my illegal box is still working for close to a year now. and the quality? PFFFT. only the digital channels are good quality, and not all the time either... you see nasty mpeg squares a lot of times. the regular cable channels up to 85 or so are analog, and look crap. the boxes dont even offer component output! I'm glad i aint paying for it! Now if I could only h4x0r the box to give Internet thru the damn ethernet jack thats on it.... I could cancel the internet from rogers, hehehe....

I know people who have digital cable for free, mostly because of the switch from shaw to rogers, the billing never came.
