Yeah, I am going to have to start doing some research. I want to make the right choice now that I'm not stuck on a contract.

On hold with CSR now... she thinks she can do it for me, just needs to get the right codes for it.
She told me the promo is technically only for those where Bell offers Gigabit service, so your address needs to be eligible for Bell's service as well.
I heard the same as well, but others were able to get it despite not having Bell gigabit.
I think I can get 500u in my area.
It's been in the media before and it also caused Koodo to put a warning on their website about having the right to change plans for out of province customers, but to my knowledge nothing has happened.
That being said this is alot bigger coverage, hope nothing happens! It's the only way my 5gb plan is affordable and 10$ for each GB of overage is fantastic.
This what I got as well. She said I was eligible for Gigabit, but Rogers is only offering 500u right now, although they are hoping to expand to my area later this year.
Either way, jumping up from 150/15 with 550GB bandwidth to 500/25 (unlimited) while saving ~50/month is still worth it. All of my TV and phone services stayed the same for now as I was already on Digital HD VIP and I already own all of my PVRs and the modem. I can swap out my modem for the newer one if I wish, but it's required to get the faster speeds.

For sure, 5gig is amazing.
Maybe the co. figures that they can either get $48/mth from those making the effort, or, cancel those plans resulting in people leaving ($0/mth). Better $48 than nothing for them perhaps.
Btw that gigabit cable thread on RFD is at like 60(!) pages already lol.
Well.. seems like it's going to be Day 0 digital for me. Is the August 31 date set or a placeholder? Anyone knows? First I hear of an actual release date.
Tempted to go PS4, but I'll probably get Vita, to play on my bed and in the toilet. As should all VNs be played.

The new ones just seem really slow. I mean all set top boxes are kind of shitty but I am still sporting my store bought SA PVR from ten years ago and it's way faster.
I may keep that in the living room and use the new PVR in the bedroom.
They're pure shit. You have to reboot them here and there.

I've been reading about people scamming Saskatchewan/Thunder Bay/Manitoba plans for ages now. I assume they don't care since it's only a minority that go through the trouble of doing it.
And they are still getting a profit on those plans. Fucking CRTC !
I don't have too many problems these days. I have the older SA HD PVR in the bedroom and the new Nextbox 3 Cisco box in the family room. Both work well and response is pretty quick. The Cisco box used to reboot fairly often (sometimes every night) but it hasn't been like that for a while with me.
Believe me, if there were big perf issues with the box my wife and kids would let me know really quick. ;-)

We need more public utilities, clearly. lol
But after Ontario privatized everything, yeah, it's better to pretend you are "going to school in Saskatchewan" and get a plan there.
I don't know about anyone else, but DoA is still MIA for me. I don't know what is going on anymore.

Coming up, yep. I'm waiting until next week before calling again. lol, holy crap, that's two months now, isn't it?

That reminds me I should order Moon Dwellers, I guess.
It didn't take long for me, maybe 10 minutes on the call with the CSR and a wait of about 5 minutes before that. I'm an existing Rogers customer however, so things could be longer if you are switching.

Only about 5 minutes from a pretty big area. It's sad, really. All we can get is what we have.
The only way to maybe get higher speeds would be to get people to sign a petition.
There are a lot of Canadians waiting for that Gundam game. I've seen several threads pop up both on Reddit and GameFAQs and I can't find a single Canadian claim he has received it yet, except for those who paid for FedEx delivery. It seems the issues lies with the Canadian customs sadly so I don't know who to bother about it. I'm waiting for three games from South East Asia personally, two of these shipped in April. :/

Anyone in North York, Toronto that knows for certain that we can get the gigabit speeds for internet?
Currently paying $135 after tax per month for 60mbps internet and TV bundle on Rogers.
The success stories here are great encouragement. I'm going to try tonight and let everyone know how it goes.
Edit: The Rogers site says 100u internet package, not gigabit. Can someone confirm it is gigabit?
The deal is not being advertised. That's why you can't see it. Call Rogers retention and mention the deal. Call ASAP before they stop giving this deal.
Thanks for mentioning this!
I seen one at my local EB last month but it had a $59.99 sticker on it. Went in today after reading your post, and sure enough, it's now down an additional $5. It'll be nice to have something to remember this game by seeing as how we're more than likely never going to see anything from this franchise again after the way things turned out.
Got the last one from EB Games near work.

Will do! Appreciate the share.

Check your postal code on their website. It will clearly say whether gigabit is in your hood. (I checked a handful in toronto - its def available!)

Are all retailers pricing Street Fighter V at $49.99 or just VGP?

BEWARE
1-855-415-2112 is pretending to be Rogers. They aren't associated with Rogers. I just got a call from them and funny enough they were trying to offer me a bundle when the real Rogers has a note on the account for a quote for the new bundle.
A quick search shows that this number is not affiliated with Rogers.
I actually received a call earlier today from the real Rogers - 1-888-764-3771 (ROGERS1)

Google tells me that number is of an authorized Rogers reseller.
Amazon has Killzone: Shadow Fall for $4.99 http://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00BGA9YZK/
Would love to pick one of these up. Can anyone else confirm if this is nationwide?
rip no they dont
I think it was that much on PSN anyways before.
It's on the "other offers from Amazon" section. 2-4 weeks shipping tho.

Hmm. I did further research and it just seems mixed to me. There are some who have verified it and others who have said that they received calls from the same number for completely different services besides Rogers. Possible, I guess.
I will mark it down to at least buyer beware.
Also, I got my confirmation email from Rogers. The deal is in and the tech will be here on Friday. However, I noticed my email says 500u instead of Gigabit so I will need to contact them about that.
Apparently it's being pulled now though and reps are being told not to offer it. Glad I got in when I did.

Nooo don't tell me it's being pulled! I'm on minute 22 of what the rep told me was an expected 30 minute wait for retention. I've waited this long mind as well go for it.
