WARNING! If you are working in...
a video rental store,
START looking for another job.

The thing that surprised me the most about this article was that Netflicks
wasn't already in Canada.

Redbox is an interesting service. There are starting to pop us everywhere in the USA, like supermarkets and McDonald's, and they are all networked. You can pick up DVDs at one location and return them anywhere there is a Redbox, and it is instantly recorded as returned.Seems other commercial interests are looking at opportunities to enjoy some gouging as a result of the Netflicks entry into the Canadian market. Rodgers cable today announced very significant increases to it's pricing for bandwidth options and also significant reductions in bandwidth amounts within those options. I assume Rodgers will be at least one (if not the only) carrier offering the Netflicks service. By making the amounts smaller it will FORCE customers to go to higher bandwidth packages and even the higher are reduced. Do we EVER need some more competition here. truenorthDon't you have DSL as as an option in most MAJOR and midsized cities? In the USA, competition between cable and DSL KEEPS prices fairly stable and keeps increasing speeds for about the same price.Quote from: truenorth on July 25, 2010, 06:43:39 PM

Personally, I hated rogers. I've never gotten anywhere close to my promised download speeds (although my bandwidth was big enough that I really didn't have to worry about it). That's why I switched to Bell.
