Re: Why Do you stay? said by RLBL:The Start package I would be interested in would give me 100GB allowance, the bandwidth is slightly less (would make no big difference) but the price is actually $5/month more + modem purchase. Not worth the switch... The lesser tier has a significant drop in speed.
Give it a week or two, their speeds will be changing to match the new Rogers speeds very shortly.
And don't forget the $3 price increase from Rogers ($2.25 after discount!), which makes the difference in monthly cost between them and Start $1.20. Though to be fair Start's pricing might change with the new speeds.
Rogers also has purchase or rental of the modem required. |

| Not sure if it was mentioned or not, but right now, Start doesn't have a way for cable users to check their usage, so they are not charging for overages on those packages.
Can't really bank on that being forever, but having unlimited on all the cable tiers right now is really nice. |

I see start has changed their "speeds".. they look nice... in fact at 1st glance they seem to be the same as Rogers.
For $50 on Start I can get 35/3 with 250GB cap (plus cost of modem) so say $53/month (3/month assuming modem lasts 3 years)
For $52/month on Rogers I get 200 GB cap (this includes the modem rental)
Start looks like a decent option; but not worth the switch (for me)... |

Read in another thread the other day that they do send letters to abusers, and do have procedures for deterring them. |
