   That's presumably because you have to terminate your contract at the old   
   place and start again at the new. Since Rogers doesn't actually offer   
   analogue any more for new customers (it's just grandfathered for the   
   existing base) it's bound to be that way and has been for some years now.   
      
   That said, if Rogers relies on people moving their domicile as a means   
   of eliminating their analogue base I think they're going to be in the   
   analogue business an awful long time. I really don't see masses of   
   people moving every five minutes. Certain groups perhaps (I moved six   
   times in ten years when I was single though I've been in the same place   
   now for over thirty) but I can't imagine Rogers relying on it.
