What was your previous service? How long are you with Rogers?

I'm still on the gigabit $35 deal. It expires in 2 months. I assume this is what they will offer as a retention deal, and if thats the case its 'meh' at best.

500 mbps = $44.99 (including $10 modem fee)..

$5 more for gigabit. This is consistent with deals that sales agents have offered over the years.

Basically your best bet is to keep 500mbps until near the end of your term. Most likely they will offer you this same gigabit deal again at that time, and that way you get the most 'time' out of your Rogers promos.
(then again, I could be wrong)

Correct, I took this promo since my term was expiring with 500 mbps and $5 more for double the speed didn't seem too much

Does your bill tells your that your offer $35, expires in 2 months?

No, this is a great deal right now. Unlike other years, internet is essential given the pandemic. Rogers and most internet providers are generally not giving out discounts in the current environment. Retention deals are limited also, if you even get them.

Lucky you. The scammers at Rogers are charging me 95$ for the same plan just because Fibe is not available at my address yet. I swear, the day Fibe is available I'll ditch them after being with them for 20 years.

They don't even show you the price of Internet packages on their web site now.

Scam artists.

thanks, chatting with them now and seeing if i could get this price, currently on gigabit for $59.99/month,
don't mind saving $10/month.

I am $33.89 taxes in 500u plan which is expiring in 2 months and they offed me $56.49 taxes in. Have to try again through FB chat for a better price.

Once you start getting close to your expiry date, your bills will show an alert box like so (see attached)
This is seen in both the PDF/mail and web-displayed versions of the bill, so you can't miss it if you're paying attention to your bills.

Last year I was in the same scenario as the OP, and got offered a plan that is $5 more for a year of gigabit.
Best case scenario is they offer me the same plan as I have now for the same price (which will probably go up in price next year anyway)
Would rather not pay more than $50 though. Worst case is they offer something stupid like $80/mo for gigabit

I have the same price plan. I just got off the phone with them. They did not budge.
