I passed this along to my parents. We're already with Rogers though so I'm not sure what kind of deal they'd be able to hook us up with
Edit: I think the deals dead now. Says so in the thread if you scroll down
It's not quite dead, my boss just signed up for it as well. Depends on who you get on the line/if you're an existing customer/your postal code etc.

This is far from the norm. We're usually fucked worse than you are as far as telcos go (unless you're in Manitoba/Sask/Quebec).

I just heard a deal similar to this advertised on the radio, but was a 3 year contract rather than 2

Really? I was paying $134/mo for 18mbps down 1 mbps up with 250 channels and basic dvr
i regularly got 8-9 mbps down until i cancelled 3 days ago and went back to the evil TWC

This is usually $250+ a month, without a deal this crazy I'd never consider going back to Rogers/Bell or having cable at all for that matter.
Before this I'm paying (tax in) $90/month for 60/10mbps unlimited, no cable.

Honestly couldn't say, I don't recall hearing anything about a shift in price though, was on the Fan590 and can try and listen for it coming home today.

The speed/channel combo seems to be worth 250, 1gbps is fast as fuck. I pay $35 for 15 down right now. Get my cable through Playstation

I was considering doing that playstation tv thing through a VPN, sounds pretty nice.
BTW speaking of Playstation - this month's PSN free games are amazing. Includes NBA2k16.

It only took them 3 fucking years to drop a real game on us.
These Indy games they keep giving us are bullshit. Yah, some of them are fun for 10-15 minutes but after that they just get boring

it is pretty nice, the packages have majority of popular networks. the downside is the bitrate vs. speed of a hockey game sometimes it's a bit slow

I had been trying out various quasi-legal IPTV services (paying about $15/month). Same problem, the bitrate wasn't good enough for sports. Happy I've lucked in to this deal, no more IPTV for me!

I bought a Netmaster a few months ago. Basically an Android box that runs Kodi but they have their own software and skin on it and comes preloaded with everything like SALTS, Phoenix, Exodus, Channel Up, etc plus all sports subscriptions. Worth every penny just for the sports to me, everything in HD and lifetime subscriptions to everything.
