Thread: BEV Price Increase...

I think what is rate now, and the way it will stay is:

$8 per theme pack
5 theme packs for $20
Additional theme packs after 5, are $5 / each.
11 theme packs for $40

if you are in ontario, the theme pack prices stay as is...quebec pricing is simply aligning with ours, that's all...theirs didn't change from the $5 price.

I signed a two year contract about a month ago, my bell is the following:


Digital Standard $27
5 Themes $20
HD Value Pack $10

Plus taxes.

My first bill is for two months and I don't see any increases: I guess I am locked into this price until contract expires?

P.S. What current HD channels will I lose come Tuesday?

Thanks

Comparing the English and French it seems cheaper to by the French Digital Standard for $26 and add English Channels for $3, than to buy English Digital Standard for $31 and add French Channels for $2. Do you end up with the same channels and if so why the difference?

15% price increase on the digital standard...Frig that is a huge increase, then add the possible Global/CTv/CBC beggers fee and that digital standard is gonna be expensive.

CRTC give us the right to not be forced into these channels!!!!

i guess this makes BEV's starting point the same price as StarChoice.

I just received a notice from Bell regarding the increase. It did state however that because I am tied into a 2 year rental agreement, my package will not increase until I make a change to the programming. That change can include anything from adding or removing a single channel. If I leave the programming untouched, my price will not increase.

no, what i am saying is that while price increases suck, the service is still priced competitively in the marketplace...it's what an open and free market does, price things according to what the market can bear...i don't think BEV has every actually made any money, and with another $400+ million for Nimiq3, don't expect any profits soon.



search the boards in here for MPEG4 and you will find out about it...you will need new hardware when they make the switch.

WESTMANGUY,

You hit the nail right on the head, "you wonder why people account split". My brothet in-law just got COGECO HD package when he bought a new tv ( Free HD receiver for a year & basic HD package). He also bought the HD Sports package which includes NHL,NFL,College Football and OHL for one year. The price was just a little more than BEV charged me for the NHL Centre ice by itself !!

$15/mo if you call. $10/mo if you do it online. Good luck with EV's web site.
