Apparently have to activate the coax outlet upstairs to use it, need to wait on a tech. For whatever reason I thought you could run multiple modems in one house lol.

If that is the same outlet you were using. Then they just need to authorize the modem.
If not same outlet. Then probably not connected.

The online agent told me they run out the modern in the Fido store, they will courier it to me.

Anyone knows if the $40 cell phone deal is still valid?

Has anyone tried booking the plan for a future date? My current Shaw plan doesn't end until Nov 1 so curious if I can still take advantage of this. Thanks!

I received my new modem within 3 days (it's a Hitron modem) but that device sounds like it's already broken before I even plugged it in. I could hear something is falling apart inside when I turn the modem upside down. Going to chat with the Fido rep and have them to ship me another one.

Did anyone receive their gift cards already?

I have Rogers internet now. Does Rogers cancel automatically when I active Fido Internet? They use the same network. My Rogers internet cancellation date is later in Sept. if I receive my Fido modem earlier, does it mean Rogers internet will be cancelled once I setup modem with Fido?

You need to call in to cancel. It's immediate cancellation thought. So, hook in your fido internet before calling Rogers.

How is DOCSIS 3.0 GATEWAY modem? Fido shipped me that. I should receive it today.

I already called Rogers to cancel on Sept 30 before calling Fido. Rogers didn’t give me any retention offer, so I called Fido yesterday. Rogers said I cannot change my cancellation date. I am not sure what to happen if I setup Fido before Sept 30. It is the same line I suppose.

Cancel Rogers line once Fido is working; you don't have to wait for the 30th.

since it is cable internet, you can literally have both rogers or teksavvy (cable) or fido working on same line, but only 1 modem plugged in at any one time. There is no problem. Feel free to make sure fido is working 100% before cancelling rogers on same day or day after. You will get a prorated refund on your rogers internet for cancelling early on a non-contract account.

Thanks. You guys are much better than the Rogers, Fido support!
