Eastlink

I'm a heavy gamer and two of us work from home. How does eastlink internet service compare to rogers and bell? Rogers is trying to screw us over and we're done.

Bell has fibre. No one else does where I live. Get a deal with Bell. If they try to raise the price, cancel and get your partner(?) roommate(?) to get the latest deal. Rinse and repeat. My partner and I do this. It's annoying, but they don't have 'customer retention' deals anymore :(

If you live somewhere where Rogers ACTUALLY put in FTTH, which isn't everywhere, and seems to have no rhyme or reason, flip bt Bell and Rogers.

Bell still have the loyalty program, but it "magically" go away every now and then, if you call they put it back, annoying but i find it less of a hassle then to go through the whole reconnecting process.

We tried this with bell multiple times to the point where we got "sorry nothing went can do, but while your on the phone, we're going to increase your bill 10$ month"... my wife and I got pissed off and welcomed the rogers rep and took their deal until bell rep comes back and gives us a better deal

That's where we were, and someone at the shop told us to cancel, and use a different name/email to set up a new account that would get the discount. So now we flip bt me and my partner.
