" You can do open variable 5 year term, presently at prime (2.5) plus 1 per cent or 3.25 today. No limits on pre payments. It is variable and if the prime stays low over the next 2 years or so (if we are still in the recession, it will stay low...but it could go up. With 5 year fixed at 3.75 you can pre pay with penalty by paying biweekly accelerated, 10 per cent each year, double up payments. Overall if all 3 are done you would pay 25 percent and have a great rate fixed!"
Thoughts?

I think your banker made a typo here.
With my fixed mortgage at Royal Bank I can pay
without penalty 10 percent per year and double up each payment. I am on the Bi-weekly accelerated plan.
Maybe they spell without differently in Newfoundland, I don't know.
