30/5 Unlimited: $52.95
65/10 Unlimited: $59.95

Cable. Sorry, didn't mention that.
I think they dropped priced on both, but I don't bother looking at DSL at all because of the fact I can't get more than 1.5Mbps in my area. |

I figured it was cable by the speed tiers but was just clarifying for others and figured someone would ask sooner or later. lol  Thanks for the update!! |

In Québec, in the Cogeco land, 40/10 unlimited is 48.95$... 1$ more than what I'm paying Ebox for 250 GB.
That's interesting. |

Isn't 65/10 actually 60/10? Given it's rCable. |

They are probably using 100/10 for 65/10. |

Guessing related to the rate of the tariff of 60 vs 100, that or just providing something different than others. |

said by alpovs:But what's the point? The tariff for "official" 60/10 is $5 more than 100/10, so it's more economical to use a 100/10 connection and shape it down to an unofficial 65/10. |
|
| |
Except that Teksavvy requires an expensive 24 channel modem for 65/10 or 100/10 service. You can use an 8 channel modem for Start's 60/10 service. |

Wouldn't say they are expensive, only that it would have to be purchased and not a rental included in the cost. At least not drastically more expensive than purchasing any other equipment.
Personally prefer purchasing my equipment over a rental anyways (though also understand not everyone feels the same). |

If you already own a capable modem for 60/10, why bother with a new modem for 65/10? I know Teksavvy promoted the 100/10 plan in the past and only provisioned 60/10 on special request, because to them the cost was the same. But try selling a friend on service with a TPIA and it's confusing already. |

What you save with Teksavvey for service will pay off paying for the modem in a few months time compared to the incumbent
Now if only My wife can understand this so i can switch but no paying up front is bad grumble grumble |

However, one condition for that is that she not question my (completely reasonable) spending on achieving that. |

If you're technically on a 100/10 profile, wouldn't you theoretically get some really, really fast burst speeds? (Not that I'm saying that justifies the cost of a modem, but it is a factor.) |

said by Fraoch:Rogers disables Speedboost for independents. Not only that, Rogers also overprovisions theirs unfairly over TPIA's. 100/10 on Rogers is like 130/11, 250/20 is like 320/22 or something like that. People have tested it many times, its not a brief speedboost but a permanent overprovision. |

id be happy at 30/5 w/no speedboost for low $40's w/the 400gb limit the way start and tsi had metered it b4.
imo that tier is a rip from all the providers for users that dont need unlimited but 200gb is too low. waiting for the access rates in spring to see if those prices will drop. |
