<div dir="ltr">So, I called Rogers to cancel cable TV and internet.<br><br>After a long conversation, it turned out that the cancellation fee is $20 per month per service, and we still have 3 months before the contract is up.<br>
<br>So, instead of the 35 mbps down, 3 mbps up unlimited plan that I have now, they put me on the new Hybrid Fibre 60 mbps down, 10 mbps up, with 320 GB limit (which is almost double what I use).<br><br>The total cost is ~$81 including tax for internet and basic digital cable. This is cheaper than the ~$113 that we were paying before. That is less than their advertised price for the internet alone on their site with basic cable free.<br>
<br><a href="http://www.rogers.com/web/link/hispeedBrowseFlowDefaultPlans">http://www.rogers.com/web/link/hispeedBrowseFlowDefaultPlans</a><br><br>This is valid until the contract is up, and then they said they should see what promos are available (but probably I will cancel)<br>
<br>Here are <a href="http://speedtest.net">speedtest.net</a> results before and after. Some variability specially the evening, but I had the service for less than a day. It required a new modem too.<br><span style="font-family:courier new,monospace"><br>
