I have Rogers Ignite Starter TV with 500 G Internet.
The only reason for the Starter TV is to get the bundle with the internet, which was cheaper.
I don't ever watch the Starter TV, as the content is mainly useless!
I have several International news channels and I stream all my movies.
When I had ask for just the Internet. I was told that I have to have a TV package...so there is THAT!
Today I got my Bill and the Bill was increased by about $10, without any notification from Rogers!
Maybe I missed the fine print somewhere, but I have been paying the same Bill for a while now.
I was planning to get a new iPhone with Rogers but I changed my mind now. I will be going with another provider. It's also good for diversification, just in case there is another disaster.

I am getting fed up of these companies using these "bait-and-switch techniques
fully approved by the CRTC who they are in bed with.
Plus, they buying out other companies, so they are the only game in town! So now we basically got a Duopoly!
All the cost of this new economic environment is being passed down to US so they can satisfy their "shareholders"
Rogers is not the only one. Amazon is inserting ads into their streaming content if you don't upgrade for an additional fee. Other streaming services will surely follow.
Groceries, Mortgages, Rent and on and on!
Meanwhile our salaries are stagnated while these companies pay millions of dollars for a 30 second ad during Superbowl!
I am seriously thinking of "disrupting the stream" AND "cutting the cable"...taking a break from all these services.
All I need is Internet.

I liked dealing with Shaw, and chose them over Telus. I wish Rogers hadn't taken over. My bill should have stayed the same. I wish we had a rate for seniors, and I wish we had more competition in Canada.

I've been looking, Im yet to find anything. I'll keep looking. Loyalty means nothing, nothing at all. It's all to entice new people.

Signed up with Rogers on a 3 year contract in June, 2023. Since then bill has gone up 30 percent. No referrals from me. Going to look elsewhere.
