Give Rogers some marketing kudos for its new $100 for four services (cable telephony, high-speed Internet, wireless and cable-TV) offer. At the very least, it demonstrates Rogers is getting more serious about the quadruple-play opportunity. It also suggests Rogers is willing to be more aggressive about cable telephony. That said, you must do some digging to get a real feel for the offer's details. The high-speed service, for example, is "lite" rather than the full-fledged, 5MBps service, and you only get basic cable, which means no TSN or A&E. I would suggest caveat emptor.

I saw that. Credit is due, but they ought to follow it up with incrementally pricier packages for those who use higher speed and more than basic cable. I would seriously consider switching my wireless if they did.
Oh, but I'd wait 'til we have full wireless number portability before I do. Which is one reason why I can't understand why Rogers isn't / wasn't more aggressive on the WNP timetable. They have the better packages now and should be using them to hammer Bell ... Re: Re: Rogers' $100 Four-Pack

the more i look at the rogers offer, the more it strikes me that it's the typical approach: pragmatic, conservative but not particularly great deals for consumers.
