It took us a long time to switch company . . . . . . just because we needed time to decide on whether we want internet at home. Our final decision . . . . only BASIC home phone. Now with Primus:

1. Local Phone Service {[$19.97 +$0.40(911)]+5%GST+7.5%QST}+$0.40(911)=$23.37/month total.
(there are 2x$0.40 911 charges, one taxed + one not taxed.)

2. Get 60 Aeroplan Miles each bill (3 miles/$1 before tax). U can get Airmiles instead of Aeroplan, your choice.

3a. Welcome Bonus 1 - there's something from Airmiles/Aeroplan, your choice. Believe u get more ?miles if u apply on line. Promotion changes overtime, check www.primus.ca youself.

For us, they told us somthing, we havn't got any. Doesn't matter to me. Must be some fine line on giving them credit card or somthing that I didn't do.

3b. Welcome Bonus 2 - there's some discount and free services (e.g. call waiting). I didn't take any. Didn't want to be bothered to call again after promotion.

4. Long Distance - there's a network charge of $3.95 or $5.95/mth if u call long distance. U have choiceS on how long distance is blocked, only local, only overseas . . . . I told them to block everything. Glad I did that, I've made few mistakes . . . . hi hi! If I didn't block LD, would have been charged a few times of those $5.95 . . . .

5. +$1 for paper billing - I chose to get electronic billing.

6. $0 installation fee, but ~$50 if service is cancelled within 12 months.

7. Requires ~30 days notice for disconnection . But they keep line for X days for next company to pick up.

Now I'm happy!!

Sorry for the delay:

1.  I had my eyes on Primus when they started their phone + unlimited~500k Internet for $30, now ~$40+modem.

2.  All these years, they were ~$2/month cheaper than Bell.  Didn`t worth the while in switching.  Since Bell added another $2+T, I may as well switch.

3.  I get 60 Aeroplan miles per month, not a lot, but will keep the account 'alive'.

REMINDER:
1.  AEROPLAN BONUS - I called, they gave me 2000 WELCOME BONUS right away, as there`s some kind of mistake somewhere.  U MAY get 5000 if u suscribe through the web.

2.  For those of u who use more than 1 service, it may be cheaper to stay with Bell.  Bell's Portable Mobile (Internet) ~Light is not a bad option, 2nd hand modem only  ~$20.

Nice day!
