Rogers will not confirm that for the time being. I believe Rogers will probably keep Legacy Digital Cable for a couple more years, but it depends how many people still need to be migrated, technician availability and equipment availability. In the meantime, there are other methods like pricing, available features, available channels, that may encourage Legacy Digital Cable customers to migrate to IgniteTV.

thats a lie, ignite offers less channels in the packages than digital cable.
Your comment is comparing apples and oranges. There are no digital cable packages available to subscribe to now. There are only the grandfathered packages which people negotiated years ago. So, while it is true that the "Premier" or similar package with IgniteTV contains fewer channels than "Premier" did with Digital Cable, it's not possible to get Digital Cable as a new customer. New customers must get IgniteTV.
Also, many IgniteTV packages have Flex channels, which allow you to have many channels that you do want without actually having as many channels as before that you didn't really want anyway.
@chank : I see you are asking a lot of questions that have already been answered in previous threads. I suggest you read through at least a few of the threads in the IgniteTV forum before asking still more questions that have already been discussed, like bridge mode, etc.
The Search function in this forum can also be used to find previous discussions:
There is also a huge IgniteTV knowledgebase:

Once you've had a chance to review some of the above, please feel free to ask questions for which you didn't find answers.
The way I see it is they want to force people to switch, either switch now, or they will force it later. Look at Analog cable, they managed to force everyone off that and onto digital cable.
That's great that you have no problem with your ignite wifi. To answer your question, those caps are called terminators. They are male connector because they are meant to screw onto a coax wall plate female connector.
They dont make a terminator with a female connector because its made for . onto a wall plate, now to solve this, you can just put a F-Type barrel connector coming off the coax cable, and then screw the terminator onto the end, and voila, you did it!

1. I was concerned about performance ...Internet speeds have been maximum no matter what I'm doing...
2. Rogers provided some cable caps to reduce interference from exposed cables but they were only male caps and all my cables were male.
1. As an FYI, HD channels typically use only about 10 mbps, or less, and 4K channels use about 25 mbps, or less. That's why Internet is typically not adversely affected since most people have 300 or 500, or 1000 mbps.
2. Not really sure why anyone would have any "exposed cables". The other end of that cable shouldn't be connected to anything. For example, the only cables that should be connected at the demarcation point (where cable enters the house and is (usually) split) are cables that are active.
I have several rooms with cable outlets that are not used, but I have no need for terminators because the other end of those cables are not connected to anything. In addition, if the unused cables are connected, then that would mean there is additional "splitting" occurring at the demarcation point, which reduces signal strength on active cables.
With Ignite, this is not as much of a concern, because there is only one device (the gateway) that is connected to RF-coax.
