Default Rogers/Eastlink swap?

I`m sure you know about the mess created over Mountain Cablevision was reading some stuff on another forum & this story from Oct 09 was posted:

http://www.kelowna.com/2009/10/30/ca...s-drop-gloves/

"Now, there are reports the company and Bragg Communications Inc. are considering swapping cable systems in southern British Columbia and Newfoundland. Bragg, a private company, is said to be in discussions with Rogers about possibly trading its Delta Cable and Coast Cable systems in British Columbia for Rogers’ cable assets in St. John’s, Corner Brook and Gander, Nfld. In other words, Rogers could land in Shaw’s backyard. "

Is this something that could happen or was Rogers just kicking the tires on the idea only to drop it.

Man, it would suck to lose Eastlink for Rogers. I'd have to go Satellite then.

Ive had rogers for years now and had very few issues with their internet service. As a matter of fact the last couple of years it has improved immensely.

Speeds aren't too bad with Rogers internet, it's the reliability and the bandwidth cap. Eastlink nor Aliant have one.
