I can confirm that, after lengthy tedious prior discussions with various Bell Canada people (while I fought the awesome greed of Bell senior management) I was assured that the the ("goofy") all-inclusive Bell Fibe service, is the way to get the best price for high speed Internet service.

While I loathe Bell for their breathtaking greed (and like you, I never watch TV, in fact I have NEVER owned a TV), I relentlessly stick with Bell, for the: (1) blazing bandwidth, (2) awesome uptime performance, and (3) friendly knowledgeable support staff.

Granted that I had to fight a moral "Holy War" to get Bell to keep to the billing rate that was earlier promised to me by a member of Bell's sales "loyalty" group. I absolutely REFUSED to accept the (approx.) all-in $180 per month they tried to foist on me. It took some determined trench warfare on my part, but my latest monthly all-in payment was $92.36.

So, at the $75 per month Bell has quoted you, your all-in cost of should be $86.25 ($75 * 1.15). Call me envious :)

Hi folks,
I am moving, and my new situation does not include Internet in the rent. stunning how many landlords include it these days though.
Anyway its been almost 4 years since I shopped for a plan. Add that all my stuff is wired, along with my likely keeping Fibe with bell, and I have two questions.
First, can I say find a good internet plan elsewhere, yet use bell for television?
I run DOS. I do not watch movies on my computer. While I do download audio, its not likely to be expansive.
that a bell sells rep said I had to buy unlimited, at $75, seemed well goofy.
So, just what do those numbers really mean in terms of real value?
Could I find a better price for Internet, keeping cable with them?
many moons ago I did that very thing, cable was with Rogers, home phone and Internet with bell..but this was years ago.
Ideas?
Cheers,
Karen
