Heh.... guess you didn't do your homework before signing the contract.
Telcos do not like terminating contracts before their due date
- expect to pay something like 20$ per month for each & every month you still have outstanding.... PRICEY!
(PS - my wife didn't do her homework either.... but ended up switching & paying because of the lousy service)

Also had Telus. It was terrible. When I moved from Ontario to Sask I only had coverage in Regina and Saskatchewan (learnt this the hard way). Worst part was when calling into Telus they would try and tell me it worked all over the province and told me a number to call if I ran into issues... but as there was no coverage the number they gave me would not work either. Long story short I terminated the contract early. Using Sasktel now, works great.

I've never had Rogers but Bell is by far the worst. My major issue with Telus was basically coverage. I needed a cell phone as I travel regularly for work within the province and as Telus coverage was limited to the two major cities it did not meet my needs. Luckily I now have a employer supplied cell through Sasktel, which I imagine is the best in this province as they own all the infrastructure.

I personally hate Rogers. I had huge issues with them, as well as I know a great many people who have in the past. Key thing with Rogers is to pay attention to your bill. I can not count the number of times I was charged for features I didnt have on my phone or included with my plan, or get charged for things included in my plan.
For example I opened my bill once and nearly died because it was like 400 bucks, because of needless charges, such as local roaming, which I was told I would not be charged for, and it stated this in my contract papers, text msgs etc.
More than once in order to get my bill straightened out it was a matter of calling, being on hold for extended periods of time, being hung up on, calling back, losing my cool, and stating that I will be going with another company then to get it cleared.
The other thing with said company is their fee's to terminate a contract are huge. I ended up getting fed up and paying upwards to $140 to get rid of them. It ended up being well worth it, I am now cell phone free, and actually like the idea of people not being able to get ahold of me 24/7.
If I get another phone, I am going with Telus.

S Stewart,
All cell phone companies charge a fee if you terminate your contract before it comes to maturity... the nature of the beast - unless you have a pay as you play kinda phone - which will get you in other ways.
Rogers used to have plans where you had to opt out of features... you were all in unless you specificaly told em to remove it.... yup - expensive lessons...
Face it, all telcos are out to make money... and you & I are the ones left on the hook
