Why people use overpriced Bell/Rogers services to this day is beyond me...
Sometimes you don't have a choice if you want highspeed.

Exactly. That was my issue at my house and at the time my Bell connection was great and priced right(retentions ftw).
However now my connection is fucking HORRIBLE. The only reason I don't have my cable internet hooked up yet is because Bell requires 30 days notice to cancel and I didn't want to pay for 2 services.
I haven't even attempted to play any MP xbox games because it would be pointless.

When they're not overpriced it's pretty decent.
Rogers has addressed every issue I've had quickly, efficiently, and with very friendly and helpful technicians. And I'm paying less (for internet) than I would be with TekSavvy or the other resellers.
It works for me. What do you pay? Specs?
Rogers I pay $45 35Mb down 3Mb up 300Gb cap

That was one of the plans they offered me. +3 months free, modem and installation included. The one I got was cheaper with lower speed and cap. And yes, it's waaaaay cheaper than the off-the-street prices on the Rogers site. And no time commitment either, it's month to month and the price is guaranteed for something like 8 years.

Teksavvy was at the mercy of rogers and said their hands were tied. So I left. This is one of the biggest reasons I avoided the re-sellers. They can't do shit for most issues you may have. And when they do contact Rogers to get you a technician, it's the lowest priority for Rogers to handle it. yup. They had issues with getting me on the grid. I spent a bit of time on dslreports too, running tests they wanted to see etc. In the end it had to be handled by rogers. gnsp. I lost my patience and my right hand was lonely.

same here
I have free modem, on the extreme service (71.99/mth) I get 50%off TV i'm on digital vip, free pvr, I forget what it is monthly I get 30% off of that as well. This is usually in 1yr increments but I'm not complaing. Speed is great, and tv is great as well, and the price is reasonable too
