Definitely go for a variable. I just picked up a prime + 0.4% (currently 2.65%).

Well, mine is with TD, 5 year closed variable. Even though it's closed, they still allow pre-payments and increased payments, and it is portable. Only difference is if you drop the mortgage (sell without transferring or whatever) there is a 3 month interest penalty. On a $75K mortgage that's like $160 /month in interest. You're set!

Old mortgage rate you got before prime dropped I assume?

A bunch of my co-workers got in last year when the variable rate was prime -0.8.

I on the other hand am stuck with a really shitty rate. :cry:

Prime - 0.9% open variable from TD. I got this back in 2006 though.
