Hello
I am moving soon,
Just wanted to know if u recommend bell or rogers cable.
And my building i'm moving in is pre wired for rogers!
Any suggestions.
I guess i would want basic cable, movies, and music for sure.

i don't think bell offers cable, just their satellite service

All the same to me (condo), and I suggest go for whoever's cheaper, which seems to be Bell now as Rogers' increasing monthly fee & has bandwidth cap

Note: you may not be able to Bell ExpressVu (check your condo rules).

bell offers a specific tv service like expressvu through their phoneline. that's what i have. you get all the expressvu services (time shifting, etc) you can also get internet through that box.

the only issue is that you cannot get HD through the "TV for Condos" set up. i'm not sure if that's an issue.

other than that, i'd go with whatever's cheaper.

The service is called "VDSL" & offers the Expressvu feed.

FYI HD is currently undergoing field trial in Toronto.

Also iPTV is comming in the next year or so to selected areas.
