A friend of ours has kept a very old sympatico plan for years (thus much slower speed) and only recently moved to a Rogers bundle, and when we advice that's a good time for them to wane off provider's email address (their old sympatico address was before gmail took off apparently) they stuck with using Rogers provided email address, giving themselves less incentive to look for better deals. (Fact that they are with Rogers cell plans rather than Fido/Koodo/Virgin speaks volume).

Lol yeah, definitely need any leverage you can get, using any telecom's provided email address seems like a bad idea, especially with how pricing works. And yeah, it would really be interesting to see the data and statistics behind the different services and the prices accompanied with them. Like what percentage of people spend "x" for "y" service. Probably a disgusting amount of people overpaying like shit, and then I wonder, if everyone had the actual best deals would it then ruin it for everyone.

Can anyone confirm if this is Ontario based?

Rogers may have pulled the deal in response to CarryTel pulling their hot offer for new customers earlier this week (this thread rogers-75m-150m-unltd-internet-24-99-75 ... l-2196933/

I don’t get any bills due to autopay. Hopefully I get a call or something.

I am anal about my bills so don't get surprised often. Last week rogers ambassador team called and offered ignite 500 down 20 up for $30 plus tax for 12 months, first 3 months free. I used to be with fido but had too many dropouts so went with cannet, rogers wanted me back. I agreed and was online in literally 15 min as technician was in area and set me up. Caveat is after 12 months goes up to full ;price ($127.99). We'll see before expiry whats available

I have called sometime in December last year as my contract expired long time ago, was paying around $80 for 100u. Went through few calls and finally got 250mbps for 33.89 tax inc for one year.
Need to this exercise again end of 2019.

Usually its an easy-to-miss reminder and then your bill just jumps. I'd definitely set a reminder in your phone calendar for a month before your bill shows up so you can time to shop around for better offers.

I called again and spoke to a different rep this time in cancellations directly, rep was great and just extended my current contract for another year (500u,$45 tax in).

First rep I spoke to was hard headed and said there is nothing he can do and was increasing my plan to $76.99, Got to love robbers, all over the place!

Granted, other RFDers have reported $25/$30 for 500mbs that is not postal code dependent. Good luck.

The same happened to me earlier, but I just called Rogers on the same number as mentioned by OP and told them that I am getting really good rates from Bell for 1Gbps (The max available in my area is 100 Mbps ) and also my internet has not been working really well...he verified the account and gave me the same rate as the OP Mentioned.....

My current home internet contract recently expired, and I got a call from Rogers to give me some options. The first call was from their telemarketing department, and offered a non- competitive rate. They suggested calling the Rogers main number, and those people were a bit more helpful, but still nothing worth staying for. The last call was to cancel(1-866-695-9367), and they immediately offered 500 mbps and unlimited service for $35, which I accepted. Annoying to jump through all these hoops, but if you’re a Rogers customer with freedom to leave, I suspect you could get this offer too. Alternatively, Fido has a $32.50 offer for 1 year with 75 mbps, unlimited (until January 7).

Thanks a lot George for sharing this, I just saved $32.5 a Month for the next 12 Months

Best i got offered was 150u for $35 which is ok. But right now I have 100 down for $40 with a different provider so not worth the hassle to switch.

Anyone get this deal who ISNT in a Bell FTTH area as a new customer?

I just got it....

Fastest Bell connection to my house is 5mpbs, so...
And I'm so tired of keep trying to call Rogers for a better deal.

I am at Fttn fibre to neighborhood for Bell and last year got 500 mbs for $24.99...from Rogers...in 3 months time to renegotiate.

where were you calling in from? that phone number is not valid for me in toronto. I get the "the number is not valid for your calling area" operator message. What the retention's phone number for the GTA?

*edit* actually might have been due to using google voice to call. Rogers doesnt allow it anymore i guess lol

You're a new Rogers customer who doesn't live in a Bell fiber to the home area? I guess back to calling Rogers..

Live in the Markham area and just called the number you shared. Rep just asked me if I was specifically given this number to call and went away looking at offers. Came back with what you mentioned! Probably most easiest call I've ever made with Rogers.

On the phone with Rogers now trying to get the $50 500u package, rep says promos available are now account based and that he doesn’t see that available on my account. Going from 55$+tax for ignite75 500gb including rocket modem to ignite 100u for 87+tax is apparently the best the can do...

*edit* they are offering the ignite 150u for 74.99 now - same as the inmarket promos listed on their website

So my $24.99 500u term expires on March 24. I just got off the phone with a cancellation rep from the number listed. She attempted to search for a promotion to apply but said she couldn't find anything worth while. She recommended calling back in a months time, as it will be closer to expiry and thats when rogers typically apply eligible promotions to the account.

Not sure if she was BSing but I guess I'll try again next month.

Put in the cancellation and wait for a call back. If no calls or get crappy offer or no $35ish 500mbit, walk into any fido and get the 50% off deal.

As a new rogers customer in Etobicoke I just agreed on 150u for $35/month. They also offered 500u for I think $60/month. Not too bad, considering I was sadly paying $60/month for 50down/10up with Bell for the last little while.
