Yeah that I know I've been with them for about 4 years. I was referring to the current promotions Wich aren't the same
could you provide the link? I didn't see it with chrom on my phone.. Thank youCHINAdeals wrote: ↑ Fyi there's a $100 Visa prepaid card offer on the mobile site. Doesn't show up on the main website though.
There has to be an error. It shows up in mobile (the $100 visa card deal but no black friday deal) but on desktop (black friday deal, no visa card).
Their offer has a strange footnote:CHINAdeals wrote: ↑ There has to be an error. It shows up in mobile (the $100 visa card deal but no black friday deal) but on desktop (black friday deal, no visa card).

Either way I ended up signing up. $40/mth, 12 mth deal but no contract, waived install fee and a $50 Visa prepaid card. The rep did it for me so it's possible.

It says that on all their marketing. Seems it's a legal thing? Maybe someone who's had them for a while can attest to price changes.RxMills wrote: ↑ Their offer has a strange footnote:

What the reference was to "not available in QC" was for this offer. I have the exact same offers as you. Max 50M service @ $45/m and will surely go up after first year like usual and have to talk to them every year to neotiate. No patience for Bell tactics. I swore off all Bell products many years ago. Only time I will consider ever taking another Bell service is the day they decide to offer FTTH in my area, with a decent price. But I'm sure unlimited 5G internet will be available before Bell decided to do that.Quid Pro Quo wrote: ↑ It is available in Montreal, Quebec.

They would be cannabilizing their own bell business. It’s the same service, artificially slowed .TouchMyBox wrote: ↑ If only they offered more than 10 up to their FTTH customers, then this would be pretty hot.
Cancel, and within a day you will get an email to call them. They will offer it thenalmc1984 wrote: ↑ She did ask if I have a phone plan with Virgin and I don't. That could be why. I've been using Virgin home internet for the past year and paying $50/m 100mbps. She refused to price match. Anyways, I asked my neighbours and found out my building has 1gbps for $55/m with Rogers for 2 years no contract, so I'm going to switch to that instead.
That's not strange. That's just Bell warning you of the inevitable.RxMills wrote: ↑ Their offer has a strange footnote:

Yup.. 100% correct.
That was my last Bell service, and don't regret it. It may not be the old DSL, but it is probably not FTTH (Fiber-to-the-Home) either. Do they offer Gigabit Fibe in your area ? If not, then it is surely not FTTH. it is probably FTTN (Fibre to the neighbourhood/node). From the Node (wherever it is located) it is just a standard copper line to your home.duttydeals wrote: ↑ oh damn, i just signed-up this morning, but missed the $50 credit card offer. hope the other RFD'ers can capatalize on this -- that's value bruh.
Hate to cancel my Teksavvy cable 25 service, as they have been responsive and reliable over the years. But dude, I was paying like almost $70 taxes in. I had called in for retentions but was told $10 off per month, for the next 6 months was all they could do.
I'll walk you through my Virgin 50 Home Internet sign-up process from this morning..... Here's how it went down:We all know that it's only a matter of time before BHell/Virgin start jacking up the price again. My strategy for cheap internet will be to cycle between promotions in the coming years, alternating between fibre and cable, to minimize outage downtime.
- started off with a chat session on Virgin website
- girl (or young lady is more appropriate these days??) on the chat session was helpful in answering my questions
- She double-confirmed with me that this will not be the old DSL technology, but will be the latest and greatest fibre. a tech will be dispatched to my place to conduct the work.
- next step in the process was i had received a phone call from the Virgin sales rep
- asked for my credentials and email address
- received email with a URL, with instructions to enter my driver's license for credit check
- technician installation appointment was setup, surprisingly lots of available time slots even for early next week!
- proceeded with the 'schpiel' and received a number of email confirmations from Virgin
- interesting that no credit card information has been provided to date, I guess that will be coming up at some point
just out of curiousity, i checked my chat history with the CSR lady. she's saying that i'm getting FTTH.Emporium wrote: ↑ It may not be the old DSL, but it is probably not FTTH (Fiber-to-the-Home) either.

If that is truly what you are getting, then YES, that is great, and the cleanest connection you can get from Bell.duttydeals wrote: ↑ just out of curiousity, i checked my chat history with the CSR lady. she's saying that i'm getting FTTH.
that's the good stuff right? i actually never looked up the difference or done any research on this.

just checked Bell website. apparently, 1.5 Gigabit fibre service is available. i think that means that i'm baller status! thanks for the advice.Emporium wrote: ↑ If that is truly what you are getting, then YES, that is great, and the cleanest connection you can get from Bell.
IF you check on what is available in your AREA (with Virgin and Bell), what is the highest speed that is listed for your address ? Just curious. If Gigabit Fiber is not listed, then I doubt it will be FTTH.
Guess you'll find out soon enough, if you get Fiber cable or a copper Cable into your home
I have virgin they only have FTTN here and I can't even get 50mbps on their internet so I settled for 25mbps. Otherwise I'd be paying for 50 and getting 37mbps.duttydeals wrote: ↑ just out of curiousity, i checked my chat history with the CSR lady. she's saying that i'm getting FTTH.
