What Bell will offer to keep you

Bell retentions will offer discounts to prevent cancellation. Common offers: $10–$20/month off for 12–24 months on a new 2-year contract; speed upgrade at same price; bundle discount.

Even with a $20/month loyalty discount, Bell 500 Mbps = ~$85/month vs Ebox = ~$55/month. That's still $30/month more = $360/year more — and you'd re-enter a 2-year contract.
