soo im living off campus and were trying to get cable and internet, and we only know of cogeco.. and the earliest appointment they have to set it up is on the 17th............. are there any other cable/internet providers in hamilton? bell and rogers dont work around here...
or does anyone have any experience with cogeco- is there actually a chance theyd be able to come earlier b/c of cancellations or is it pretty much firm on the 17th

Bell does work (I'm with them) and I do believe Rogers works as well. Cogeco is actually more of an outsider than they are but where they have coverage they work well, one of my friends is with them. All of these companies have relatively high prices. Especially considering bandwidth, which is stupid because it use to practically be unlimited.

There's also Teksavvy which has coverage in some parts and has some good deals in terms of price, speed, and bandwidth. But there are some fees that don't usually accrue for most people, but I would look at them (the information is right there on the website) and see if those can be a problem for you. But again like I said most of those fees will usually not apply to most people.

But other than that we are just going to have to wait. Hopefully more competition. I'd like to see more banks, telephone/cell phone companies, and more internet companies. Funny though the latter two types are mainly controlled by the same companies so you're getting cheated by the same company for different services haha.

Oh not to mention that Rogers has applied for a banking license and thus will be in all three categories I mentioned. But, they do say they are not gonna be like a bank. They just wana have credit and debt services, no physical locations to deposit or withdraw money or anything. Still very interesting, and you never know what somebody or some company might do. All of a sudden you find yourself going to rogers to deposit your check.
