Hot deal for existing Rogers Internet customers & Free Wireless N Router!

[mic2074]

Before share my deal, I took this photo from Vaughan FS. They have tons of stock.


To make long story short, I went to Vaughan FS around 5:45pm. I wanted to upgrade & pay $20 extra the router to Linksys WRT160N ($70 on website). I was planned to pay extra $20 for that. A salesperson come and help, I asked about the upgrade, which in turn he asked one of the supervisor. The supervisor said no, and I was planning to leave and told him I will go to Warden/ Hwy 7 location to get this with the upgrade. He said he will find out more and help me. After some searching around the central computer, he said it's okay he will do it for me. Then I realized that Vaughan location is selling the Linksys for $60 ($10 less than website and other location reported). I was excited and think this is really hot !!

To make it hotter, the good salesperson try to over-ride the payment, he couldn't figure it out. So after 2 mins of fiddling, he just scanned the D-link one and give me the Linksys with NO upcharge. YES ... he just give me free upgrade, then he just walked me thru the front door.

So I basically get this Rogers promotion with a Linksys upgraded router for ZERO extra dollar ... Can it be any hotter !!!

For those who want the upgrade to Linksys WRT160N router, try call Vaughan location to confirm the price (not sure if they will change it on Friday). This might save you $10 (as compared with the website price).

Thanks OP and thanks all for sharing their information ... I am a HOT HOT happy camper tonight !!

not really that great since the router is not on your receipt - you have no warranty what so ever.

I'm somewhat in the same situation, as I bought two... I saw that they grabbed a Dlink 625 instead of the 615... when he scanned, he only took the one 615 to scan for both... thus my 625 is not on the receipt.

here is my speed right now on rogers (rental one) this speed is tested with my current wireless router plugged in

I bought the Modem this evening at FS in Mavis/Britannia. The guy said there was about 30 left.

When I called the number on the package - the CSR told me I had to choose either 3 months free *or* the 99.99 credit.?!?!

Any new customer able to get both promotion? What number did you call? the one on the box or the 1888-Rogers1 ?

*edit* Apparently the agent wasn't aware of promotion 'W9S'.

*edit* activated with Xtreme. After 3 months, can cancel or downgrade to Express:



Thanks OP!

i bought 3 bundles just in case as im sure my relatives/friends would want in on this deal as well. necessary? :S

do you think rogers will replenish their supplies quickly or do you think this is a one time HOT deal?

I went to the same one there too
The CSR told me no 3 month unlimit if I'm an exisit client, even I told him, I'm not on contract with them.

Can we bargain when we call rogers?

why does everyone want to replace their d-link 615 wireless n for the linksys?

can someone explain to me why the linksys is so much more superior?

I have problems activating the new modem. I called Rogers to activate it, they said it is ok, but I could not connect to internet, since I am using LinkSYS WRT150N router, they said call LinkSYS. After calling LinkSYS they said there is no problem with router. I have connected my pc directly to new modem, and the only page I am getting is Rogers Online Modem Activation page, which I got error on that. Then I called Rogers again, they said, I need to return the old one first to activate the new one - security reasons ? - Right now, I am using the old one Do you have similar problems?

thanks...

st clair/keele FS still has alot in stock.

You can upgrade the linksys models with custom firmware to increase functionality. Linksys is also generally a better router.

I had DLink for 2 years and I had lots of problems with it., like:

* wireless laptop disconnects all the time
* cannot see other computers on network
* heating a lot, and freezes, needs hard reset (sometimes i need to put it into refrigirator to make it work again
* when i use torrent, or download using download managers, connection gets lost
* resets itself randomly, forgetting all the settings...

is that enough? Now I have LinkSYS WRT150N, and I am happy with that, i will return my DLink tomorrow and replace it with LinkSYS. (I am not a newbie, a computer eng. with 15 years of exp.)
