I agree with you wholeheartedly. Every time I've had a problem, Rogers has always fixed it, and have been great about it. Their customer service is top notch.

I agree...Rogers video always have the new releases in stock compared to blockbuster.

I find Blockbuster cheaper though. I typically only rent for one or two nights rather than the week long rental. At Roger's it's 6 something bucks, and you have to return it by the next day at 9pm. At Blockbuster it's 5 something bucks and you get it for 2 nights. (I like the 2 nights in case I fall asleep and want to finish watching it the next night, if I just want to watch it again, or if someone else in my house wants to watch it)

I like the Netfix idea because neither Rogers nor Bluckbuster are within walking distance from my house, and almost a 10 minute drive as I live in the north end of Aurora and both are in the south end.

TV episodes are a bonus for me, as I have digital TV over my roof antenna, so this will be great to watch TV series I could only see if I subscribed to cable or satelite tv.

Originally posted by DJ Mach X My Bell Sympatico is on contract and locked at unlimited, never going to change it! My only downfall, is that it's not as fast as I would like it (500kB/s - 700kB/s) especially to stream movies... i'm currently trying to have them not touch my plan/package but increase my speed, if that pans out FUCK YA! Netflix thing is not my thing, I can download whatever I want and stream it through my PS3 or burn it to a DVD or CDR and watch on my Divx player... so it's not a win for me... But I will sign up for ease of use and the price for my mom so she can watch a movie whenever she wants without hassling me or my bro to find it and set it up for her... Plus you watch it through your Wii or PS3 or Laptop... why the fuck not!

500-700KB/s is more than enough to stream movies unless you're downloading craploads of porn simultaneously.

i love getting 1.14MB/s with my rogers extreme but i just hate the cap.

i download all my movies and shows from usenet in x264 format and watch it on my media center pc (running windows 7 ultimate)

Rogers has 7 day rentals as well - 2 days are the new releases
it's 5.99 i think?

On Demand is probably the best of the 2 - when they have good releases and you can rewatch it within 48 hours, which is great when I rent something and my roomie wants to catch it the next day

I was about to post regarding how YoutubeXL has been available on the Wii for free, and despite its grainy quality, does well in a pinch..... but Netflix on Wii????? that's it... I'm in! ... now to get an unlimited plan because I've gone over Rogers' 60gb plan a few times.

Wii is a joke.

Does no one like actually seeing their video in good quality? ie. HD!


I don't care if it makes me a TV snob but I fucking hate not having the option of HD and hardly making out what the hell is on the screen.
