Rogers business model is dead - CRTC is forcing the ability to cancel online

https://dailyhive.com/canada/canada-internet-phone-plan-access

>"Based on the consultation, the regulator is mandating the option for customers to be able to change or cancel their internet or phone plans online, through an app, or via email."

Basically this was the entire business model of telco companies in Canada (not only Roger obviously).

I said for years that it was insane that you can't cancel online and several people replied that it would be a "security problem".

Well, it seems like it wasn't. It was just a way to force the client to stay making it as difficult as possibile to switch.

What do you think?

How to actually fix ping and packet loss

I’ve been reading around and it’s always just questions, i have horrible ping spikes and packet loss when gaming, I’ve tried Ethernet on console and it was still bad, I’ve tried wifi extenders for my pc since it can’t use Ethernet, I’ve gone into the gateway settings and separated my 2.4ghz and 5ghz networks and nothing changed, it’s not my pc or console 100% so now im lost on what actually to do, has anyone ever done anything that fixed this?

Fraud?

This is not the first time this has happened. I get these every few months. My phone number is not associated with my MyRogers account. I changed my password the first time.

I called Rogers and they said no account is associated with my phone number. They also said that 93998 is not their phone number. They said no action was required.

The link does go straight to the Rogers site - so I'm not sure what to expect here.

Beware!

Is this number a legit Rogers number?

I was called from a Rogers representative (833-430-6500) offering me plans. He used my first name, had the last four digits of my credit card, and had access to my bills and info he also did not hang up when I said goodbye. I was wondering if he was a legit representative he asked for confirmation with my date of birth, and postal code. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Phone return plan

I have a 2 year phone plan where I return the phone after. I just woke up and saw a bunch of scratches on my phone. Too many to pass the return inspection. I googled it and you can’t get a screen change anywhere except Apple, because Roger’s will know it’s a foreign screen not from the original Apple company. I called Apple and they quoted me $500. My Apple care has expired with no renewal options. What do I do please help

Priority data?

If I go for a plan with priority network access, does it mean if I use my cellular data during a power outage or a mainline internet outage, I will see full speed even though the tower will most likely be overloaded?

Internet options in Wasaga Beach?

My partner and I are moving to Wasaga Beach soon and I’m trying to find the best internet option before we sign up with anyone.

It looks like Rogers is the main provider in our area, but I’m hoping to find out if there are better options, resellers, or any current promos.

We actually tried going with Rogers already, but the setup process was a mess and customer service kept talking in circles. We couldn’t get straight answers, so we cancelled before even moving.

We’re heavy users (gaming, streaming, working/studying from home), so consistent speeds and low latency matters a lot. I’d rather not end up overpaying for something underwhelming if there are better setups out there.

Any recommendations, deals, or even specific providers/reps to contact would be super helpful!

Thanks rogers

thank you for constantly sending your lackeys door to door, ignoring no soliciting signs, pissing off home owners who DO NOT want you services. Fort St John BC, ignorant business practice’s!

Is Spotify working for anyone else?

Basically what the title is asking. I have been trying to go on spotify for the last 2 days and any time i open the app it says something went wrong. I have tried to reset my system and restart my tv and nothing works. I just wanted to know if others were having this issue before I contact rogers. All the tvs in my house are having this issue.

How is this fair????

I’m so angry, I bought a brand new iphone Jan 31st and asked the lady to keep my same

Plan that I’ve had for the last 3 years. I’m

Not sure what happened but I went to the US and got charged a ridiculous amount, I’ve been a loyal customer for 9 years with no issues at all. Never complained … and I think this is my final straw. The customer “care”on the phone didn’t care at all. To add insult to injury they’ve been giving out plans for everyone to roam in tens of countries without charge. Additionally the lady at the counter removed my hot spotting capability. I’m beyond frustrated and done

Roam from Home

Hello,

I just wanted to share a recent trip I had using Roam from Home on the Roger’s network. I had purchased the Roam from Home for a week at a cost of $50 (Cdn). I thought it would be the easy thing to use as I was only going to be gone for a week.

The trouble started as soon as I landed as I need to restart my phone. Not a massive issue. I thought. But what quickly happen was that anytime I went on the train (either to another city or underground) I would lose connection. I would have to turn off roaming. Turn on airplane mode. Or turn off the phone for period of time. To reconnect to the system. Needless to say this became quite annoying. There were certain time that it would work really well but for the majority it was a real pain. I would never use Roam from Home again and will use another eSIM app instead.

Take care and happy travels.

Need advice: ported to Rogers, ended up on a different plan than expected

Looking for advice from anyone who’s been through something similar.

I recently ported over from Bell with help from a Rogers business consultant I connected with through Reddit (u/5GisNotOP). The plan we discussed was $30 for 175GB (shown in the screenshot on the left).

After the port, I didn’t receive any activation emails or account info (no Rogers account number, nothing). I reached out to the consultant to follow up but haven’t been able to get a response. Rogers support was helpful in getting my online account set up so I could at least see my billing.

When my first bill came in, it showed I’d been set up on a $55 / 250GB plan instead of the one we’d discussed. I called Rogers again to sort it out, but they told me only the original sales rep can make changes to the plan.

So I’m a bit stuck. A couple of questions for the community:

1.	Has anyone else ported to Rogers through a Reddit consultant and run into a similar mix-up? How did you resolve it?

2.	Is there a path through Rogers directly to adjust the plan when the original rep is unreachable?

Not trying to throw anyone under the bus — I’m sure there’s a reasonable explanation. Just need to get this sorted before the next billing cycle. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
