You can ask to escalate to OOTP but they have gotten ride of the more direct link.rvs007 wrote: ↑ They used to have a link on the "Share a Concern" page where you can send a message to the Office of the President. But now the only links I see are Live Chat, Facebook & Twitter. Is it still possible to send an email/message to the OOTP if you're unhappy about the service or the package?

Based on everyone switching, I dont suppose anyone would care for the old HDPVR (non 4k, not a Nextbox either) or old HD box (non pvr) to buy? I was told Rogers doesn't take those ones back so I'm stuck with them right now.
If not...do these boxes serve any purpose at all? Can I even access the hard drive anymore to watch my old recordings?

Does Business Internet have similar offers and if not, does the winback offer apply if I was to switch to Residential Internet (home business)?

I am a current customer with Rogers for their 500GB/s internet service and my promo was set to expire at the end of this month. So I played the RFD game via chat by asking the rep to cancel my service at the end of this month. Reason I gave: I got an offer from Bell for the Gigabit Fibe internet for $45/month. The initial agent counter-offered with $59.99+tax but I said no, please cancel. She then transferred me to a senior agent who eventually gave me the $52.99+tax for the Gigabit Ignite, good for 12 months. The entire chat took about 30 minutes with the bulk of it waiting for the senior agent to start chatting to me. FYI, I live in area where there is no Bell Fibe.

Which boxes are these? The 8300 PVR or the 8642? (The 8642 was sold as a normal PVR, then got the new software and was retroactively rebranded Nextbox 2.0, but older units don't say Nextbox)? The 4250HD or the 4642HD non-PVR?dxbender wrote: ↑Based on everyone switching, I dont suppose anyone would care for the old HDPVR (non 4k, not a Nextbox either) or old HD box (non pvr) to buy?

My sense is that the market for any of those is going to be extremely limited. The 4642 is probably the most useful of the four because it's the newest non-4K non-PVR box, supports the current software (badly), WHPVR, etc. And it doesn't have a hard drive that's going to break and might be PATA, so hard to source a replacement in 2020 (I forget when Cisco/SA moved from PATA to SATA)
You can't access the hard drive if the PVR box is not enabled on the network, no... so once you migrate to Ignite, that's it.

I did the same in July as my previous promotion was ending and they offered me $49.99 for Gigabit. I would caution anyone upgrading to gigabit however. Their infrastructure, support staff and equipment don't seem able to handle the speeds. My speed on ethernet drops to 200mbps every month or two for about a week at a time. They don't tell anyone regarding any outages or issues in their area and it takes over 2 weeks to get it fixed and back up to normal speeds each time.

Would also recommend to stay with the 500mbps service by Rogers. When I had that, I was regularly getting 700mbps but the minute I switched to gigabit, the service was unstable and speeds were 800mbps so not much more difference.

Oh dear. These are good for the museum if you ask me... though the fact that Rogers never (AFAIK) deployed MPEG4 means they've had a much longer lifespan than one might have expected in 2007 or so.
(I am trying to remember when I got my 8300; I think it was fall 2007)

I know nobody probably wants it, but if anyone even wanted to offer anything, it's better than nothing.
Can they just be thrown away in the regular trash or does it have to be disposed of a diff way?

Oh, sure, and I would suggest posting an ad in the usual places in case someone does want it. It's unlikely but you never know...
I would presume they should be treated like any other e-waste. Pre-covid world, I would probably have dropped them off at Worst Buy's e-waste collection...

On those sites people want like $30+ for them lol. I figure if mine is much lower, someone might see it and think it's a deal.VivienM wrote: ↑ Oh, sure, and I would suggest posting an ad in the usual places in case someone does want it. It's unlikely but you never know...

I got my 8300 box thanks to this site (I think it's the reason I joined rfd). There was a clearance on refurbished boxes, and I got one. Somehow it had warranty on it so I exchanged it once it broke for one that worked. In the end, the shelf life of the box vs the price I paid to buy it had me paying an average of $1 a month for it lol.
Too bad theres nowhere to dispose of them. If I simply put it in the garbage bin, maybe they'll just dump it in the truck?

Apologies if this is the wrong forum but I'm at my wits end.
Rogers says there is congestion in my area and will take months to fix so we're left with choppy internet while we're all trying to do school and zoom meetings. The Bell fibe speed sucks in my street. Is there any other option? I thought of fido or virgin internet but isn't that still cable/ dsl? Any options for affordable cellular internet at decent speeds? (not looking for much, just enough for 5 devices on zoom simultaneously)??
thanks in anticipation

Live chatted and they offered ~$59 taxes in for gigabit. My plan didn't end until Feb, which I was paying $48 for 500u, and he offered the discount to activate afterwards but I didn't want to deal with hassle of them messing up and having to haggle at whatever discounts they'd have in 2 months.
