Actually, the 5 year is quite a bit higher than what I have been hearing from other folks and seeing online.
For example, earlier this week someone got 5 year fixed @ 3.65% from TD.
That was in London, ON.
I think with some shopping around, you might be able to get 5 year at 4% or less.
But if you have decided to stay with this particular bank, then go for the 5 year rate. The difference of 40 bps is not worth taking the 2 year rate risk.
