Condo Internet & TV deal from Bell too good to be true?
I live in an older condo that currently has cable tv from Rogers included in the maintenance fee. It's the VIP channel package and they also give us a non-pvr cable box.
Internet has never been included. Recently I received a memo from my building saying they have struck a deal with Bell to give us TV AND fibre internet for lower then what Rogers was offering for just cable.
Basically it will work out to $40 per unit for fibre internet and tv (included in my maintenance fee) with that amount frozen for 10 years.
Does this seem too good to be true, or am I missing something?
I don't watch a lot of regular tv so I don't really care what channels are included. Has anyone else gone through something similar at their condo with Bell? Thoughts?
Below is a partial snip of the memo I received:
The long term contract that our building has with Rogers, will be expiring in August of 2021. Your board is pleased to announce that after long and arduous deliberation with Bell Canada, our building has procured an amazing agreement with Bell where the package for each unit includes:
Once the upgrade is installed, access to the fastest broadband speeds on the market and the “Best in class” TV experience available.
The upgrade in your suite takes approximately 15 – 20 mins per Suite and will be completed within the next few weeks. Management will give notice to each unit accordingly.
