I've heard that it has to be sold by the field rep too, but its basically a ploy to prevent the RFD'ers from calling in for the package. Even they got around that, they got the name of a field rep and just called him

Fight is for them to get less of your money for more service.

Bell is currently digging in my street for their new fangled high speed, will see if rogers knocks on my door soon.

*Update

Round 3 with two managers failed. They offered the same services at $125.99/month. Told them to fuck off (not really lol).

Contacted one of the field sales reps that posts on the RFD forums, and he got it done for me the next morning.

Now i'm stuck with robbers for another 2 years lol

My contract just recently expired and I was considering cutting cable and going with someone like Telsavvy for Internet and home phone. However when you do the math this plan is much better. True I don't need anywhere near this Internet package not that many TV channels but anything more simpler/basic would still come to roughly the same price.

Did anyone successfully add this to their existing account? Are you in a co tract already?

I contacted the RFD guy who said I should cancel my existing account and create a new one which I didn't like since I would lose my years as a customer.

i don't think they value customers based on time anymore....

i'm sure if i open an account 6 months ago and spend more, they would value me more than someone who's been with them for 20 yrs with the basic plan...

They don't care about how long you've been a customer anymore.

For the longest while only "new" customers were able to get this deal until someone found a field rep willing to bend the rules a bit.

Their metrics place priority on "new customers" so play that to your advantage.

^^this.

Sad really, but they really don't care anymore. Seemed like new customers still had trouble getting the deal, but not nearly as much as existing customers. Even some customers who escalated to office of the president didn't have any luck.

WTF are you trolling us here? What do you care more? saving money or a gold star sticker to show how long you've been paying rogers at an absurd pricing?

You’re all correct regarding the customer loyalty thing.

Regarding the math, this is my logic, anyone see any flaws?

Tecksavvy
Internet – Cable 30 – Unlimited usage = $53
Phone - Tektalk Premium = $15
Modem = ???
Third party subscription for IPTV = $10
2 IPTV boxes = $10 (averaged over 2 years)
Total each month before taxes = $88

Rogers
Cable + Internet = $99
Second receiver = $5
Home phone = $10
Total each month before taxes = $114

Difference = $26

I initially thought Teksavvy’s home phone options were limited $26 for a traditional home phone line which brought the difference to $16 but then I saw they have a cheaper VoIP offering

You are missing the gigabit part. Teksavy doesn't have that.

Yea but I know I definitely don't need that. Which is why I compared against the Cable 30 plan which I think will suffice for my needs.

I was w/ Teksavvy for a long time and I did not get a gold star sticker for being their customer. Oh darn those bastards! However, I made the switch over to start communication, cable 60, unlimited for 60 bucks a month. Their customer service and service reliability has been top notch.

Bell rep came by on the weekend offering:

Gigabit internet @ 45.95
Better tv package with 3 receivers @ 60.95
Home phone with international LD @ 17
Total $123.9

Called Rogers to see what's up and he didn't even try to offer better. Their Ignite 500 internet + tv and phone would be more than I'm paying now. Ignite 150 would be slightly cheaper than what I pay now. Guess I'm moving over to Bell.

i was paying too much for the bell best package and unlimited internet, was like $120/mo. i cut the tv back to the better package but there's nothing on tv anymore. i think that they have got the "oh i'll cancel" threat so much that it doesn't even phase them anymore. no home phone, not needed, what should i be paying if i wanted the best package again?

best package for TV?.. should probably be around 120-130?.. give or take, depending on TMN/HBO add-on?

They still have this deal posted in the first post. It's changed to only 1 year price guarantee & you have to get it from a field rep (the ones that go door to door) or pm one on RFD.

My 2-yr Rogers combo deal expired a few months ago ... and I'm paying thru the roof... ~$200 for Rogers TV (1 level above 'basic), internet (can't remember speeds), modem, 1 HD TV box (no PVR), 1 SD TV box ... \:\|

I gotta jump on the Bell deal or something ... $200/mth is f'ing nuts.

(Called Rogers a month ago re: the $99 gigabit deal, and they said nope, only new customers etc.)

I guess they expect customers to swap every couple years.

I think most people just take the hit and pay through the nose without complaining or threaten to jump but do nothing in the end. If they saw a mass exodus, you would think they would be smart enough to offer deals but they may just be hedging bets that you'll stay.

I need to upgrade my plan, been bumping into my 100gb allowance recently.

Any suggestions for internet-only plans on cable? I'm currently paying $42/month with Rogers including the modem and am not interested in spending significantly more than that.

Still with teksavvy cable 30 for $47/month. (200g cap), for $53/month it's same speed and unlimited.

Been with them for I think 5 years now, no issues, haven't had the slow downs others complain about even during peak times I am downloading at the advertised speeds from torrent clients even.

Customer service is definitely top notch.
