How would this compare to Roger 100u package? I'm paying way too much so looking for an alternative

You have to decide if 75M is enough for you. If you want faster you can get their 150M $49.99. (Probably still cheaper then Rogers 100u?)

thanks yea the 150 would make more sense and I'm paying $90 for 100u with Rogers, they increased it as soon as I cancelled cable. used to be $59 and they kept increasing it until it was over $90 I said enough. They could care less about existing customers.Keigotw wrote: ↑ You have to decide if 75M is enough for you. If you want faster you can get their 150M $49.99.

I switched from Teksavvy in Feb/March. To tell you the truth, this has been absolutely worth it. Speeds have been consistent even during peak hours and there have only been a couple of incidents of downtime (which were resolved after restarting the router i think. didn't last up to an hour anyways)

I think we have to blame the contractors of Rogers. Mine showed up on time. When he saw my cable was cut off when I cancelled my cable service few years ago, he said he had to come back next day. He never came back because he didn't want to do the extra work to connect a cable from the box across the street. I also wasted the time in waiting for him for 2 days. Luckily another contractor came for the second appointment. He didn't run away. He finished his job without complain. The problem is Carrytel has no control of these contractors. We also cannot complain them to Rogers.hatrix wrote: ↑ I waited in total of 9+ hours (2 Rogers tech no shows, and the third one the tech showed up in the very last 15 min of the time slot) before someone managed to show up to install. That was extremely frustrating, especially the part where no one called me to tell me that the tech couldn't make it. I waited for longer than the 3 hours in each of the first two appointment time slots. I called carrytel many times and every time all they told me was to wait it out or reschedule. They had no way of contacting the techs or check why no one showed up.
I was almost at the point of canceling, demanding a refund and filing a complaint. Especially that I had to take time off to wait for the tech multiple times.

I've had it for a few months now and I'm actually surprised at how reliable it is. No outages and I have been able to watch multiple 4k videos on Netflix at the same time (well not just me, other people in my house). It's not a 12 month contract, that is the ongoing price. It's just that this deal also gives the first 3 months free

Would like to know about the reliability of carrytel

My Cable outside was damage too, Lucky I got an actual Rogers tech (not contractor). He ran a temporary line for me up onto 3 trees.yu203964 wrote: ↑ I think we have to blame the contractors of Rogers. Mine showed up on time.

Super expensive? Can we just be realistic and say it's between carrytel and super expensive rogers/cogeco?

Ugh this has been my exact experience as well, disappointed for gaming but great for everything else.

I pulled the trigger last night since they're giving 3 months free. The speed difference is superior for cable (25/10 for the same cost), but I wasn't willing to deal with the usual roll of the dice with Rogers install techs.

Teksavvy is around too but their prices are almost same as big boysengineered wrote: ↑ Super expensive? Can we just be realistic and say it's between carrytel and super expensive rogers/cogeco?
Also, why are Carrytel's Cogeco area deals so much worse than the Rogers' area?
Rogers area, 150mbps for $50 incl. modem rental.
Cogeco area, 120mbps for $60+$99 model purchase... wtf?
