Have you checked Rogers pricing recently? The really low end packages are not available but for 75Mb plans and up they are comparable. Once modem costs are factored in, they are almost the same. Rogers sometimes offers win back and retention discounts as well. After switching to a 75Mb plan, I wouldn't want to go back to a slower plan. The improvement was quite noticeable.
Not sure I would agree.. while vmedia might do stuff my plan inc tax totals little over 60$ on a 35/5 plan if i were to jump to their 75/10 unlimited plan are only a few bucks more -holding back on the upgrade to the 75 plan but soon
...havent seen anything like those prices with rogers on their site but did notice a 150 plan unlimited data for like 85.00 maybe that works for some but for me the price comes to close to 100$ taxes in
- I stream a whole bunch otherwise im a lightweight avg 100-150 gig of data /month and other than those outages/interruptions i can live with my speed - not an issue at my end on that score..we all have our beefs with these companies and I NEVER subbed with rogers directly so wouldnt qualify for any price breaks - besides, I can't stand cable companies as a whole for many other reasons, less so with rogers now I have read (in some small part) their online support...its atrocious, the little i have read
with vmedia they at least work with you when something goes awry , price cuts, extra tv time etc. without hesitation..well, i have seen worse let's just say..i dont like that vm dont have 24/7 support but i have learned to accept it...do they lie? sure but is rogers an honest bunch? well...
and dont get me started with contracts. hate them...
edit; i will say this ...vmedia's iptv platform sucks big time, hardware, tv line-up, pvr issues..they got ddos alot (not sure if they still get hit) NO way would i ever recommend that stuff and yeah much more interruptions and of course support sucks even more on that end of their business, imho
