Rogers TV Or BELL

if it were not for the damn dish, I'd say Bell.

But I don't want a damn dish bolted to the side of my house, nor do I want cables stapled to my baseboard.

When Bell figures out a way to transmit via their existing Bell Lines, I'll be the first to sign up. Till then, it's Rogers.
 
call into BELL...

if you've been with Bell for awhile, they are currently offering as much as 40% discount if you ask to speak with a supervisor.
 
If you have an HDTV consider a small external antenna. With correct aiming and a bit of time to fine tune it, you would pick up about 30 HD over the air channels from ontario and western NY. Picture quality is better than Rogers/Bell HD for the same resolutions but below that of BD of course.

Then there is the FTA satellites and of course Dish Network.
 
Doesn't really matter. Either company will fuck you. I've yet to find a cable/phone company that's worth my time, and my coin.
 
Not available to the general public yet, but Bell Entertainment Service is AWESOME!

This may be what I'm looking for provided it is cost competative to Rogers HD.

Bell advertises (truthfully) that their HD service is less than Rogers, HOWEVER, you need that stupid dish.

I don't want a dish. Dishes are kibe.

This system gives me HDTV through the internet, with no need for dish.

Sounds great. The only thing not on that website is the cost.

I've never been able to understand why TV and your computer cannot be one entity. The computer could be used easily for settings, and to make selections, manage accounts, etc. and you watch it on your TV.
 
I'm sorry for the lack of detail as I was in a hurry. It's high def tv through your phone line along with super fast Internet and pvr. It's still on testing (has been for a few years). I believe its getting a wider release next year but I'm
not sure. Right now it's only available to select condos on the gta. Give them a call and see if your building has it yet. Kirk, the prices are there.
 
Awesome. Such a wealth of information in that word. We know so much more now. Thank you Tangwich. And all the other Awesome People out there.

My deepest of deep apologies. I somehow thought that people might be able to read the detailed link.

I am a very long time Bell subscriber. What kind of discounts are you talking about here, as I think you usually don't get anything for sticking around - only if you are a new customer?
 
how bout an example...

Well loaded subscription costing $140/month(maybe you are already splitting this between two receivers)...call in and say rogers is offering a great deal right now. If you are not on a contract then they will offer the same package for about $90.00/month. If you are already splitting that programming with another friend or relative, you've got tons of programming for $45/month!!
 
I had both Rogers and Bell...

Rogers....They charge for everything little thing and they add extras with out telling you....then when you call to complain they mess that up also....customer service is rude, and your bounced from one department to another department....why can't customers deal with only one agent...

Bell...Customer service is bad, when you call your on the telephone on hold for at least 20minutes....an when a agent comes on she/me is rude...

So I gave my business to Star Choice...excellent customer service, your never on hold and very friendly...

I strongly recommend that you try Star Choice...

Thanks I hope this helps.

I think that service explains a lot of Bell's internet behaviour. They are capping usage on the internet, wanting to eventually control media distribution through the proprietary side of this service. Sure, it likely has efficient multicasting, but it will be under their strict control. The internet is a wild west compared to a captive service like this - they can't make nearly as much money on pure transport (the internet) as they can on selling the transport and content as well.
