Surprise Savings From Rogers Cable Internet
By Lawrence
I used to curse Rogers for its internet stability issues. I have even posted multiple times here about that. This time, however, is something totally different.
I used to subscribe to Rogers with their most expensive cable internet plan. It used to cost near $200 Canadian a month. Even with that subscription plan, I still have upper bound to my bandwidth usage. It is so pathetic that from time to time I would exceed the limit and had to pay extra.
My internet access is mainly for my trading need for which I have to download tons of tick data every night for thousands of stocks and commodities. The amount of data I am getting depends on the market environment. It is something out of my control.
Since I have to setup various internet based access in my new home before actually moving in, I chose to start a new subscription of cable internet with Rogers in parallel to my original one that was still in use at my old place. It turns out, their new streamlined plans have changed significantly. Due to market pressure, the most expensive plan offered by Rogers now is just $100 Canadian a month. On top of that, this new plan has unlimited bandwidth.
Bye bye extra charges and hidden fees.
Sweet!
If I have chosen to move my service from my old place to the new one, my subscription plan would stay the same. And I would have make a big mistake. A $100 saving a month is very significant.
I encourage fellow Canadians to review their existing cable internet subscriptions with Rogers to see if they can take advantage of their new subscription plans.
