Cancelling Sky probably allowed you to pay off your credit card bills.

Just think soon you will be:

Applying for credit cards for the first time, getting Rogers cable for the first time etc etc

If you talk to any Canadian then Rogers are quite possibly the worst company ever. But in my experience they have been great. We have phone, cable, cell phones and internet through them. Never had any problems with them.

And if you like your soccer you can get GolTV for $2.50 a month. Go figure!!



Enjoy this part of the journey.

There's usually only one option for cable in each province. Shaw aren't particularly cheap, but you don't have a huge amount of choice.

Check rogers out - www.rogers.com

We are here on recci and one good thing is that we can have our uk cell phones with us and just put one of there sim cards in.

if you put $100 dollars on it - then the credit lasts for 365 days, ok if you dont use your cell much

and http://www.rogers.com/web/Rogers.portal

My opinion - take with a pinch!

When choosing TV go for Shaw cable if you decide on satellite you could well loose the connection if there is slight activity in the sky - heavy rain thunder etc and snow can block the reception on occasion too and it is possibly more crap than cable.

We also use shaw for telephone and internet - no real probls with them.

Nearly due for coffee meet ups
