Holy everything changed, but in a good way.

My current $86 plan with modem rental
150Gb bandwidth, 45 Mbps down, 4Mbps up

The new Hybrid Fibre 150 plan
$86

350GB bandwidth, 150 Mbps down, 15Mbps up

I get 60% off my internet, so it's like $34 a month.

I have to go pick up the new modem.
I'm gonna leave the current speed here, and will compare when I get the new modem. Maybe tomorrow or thursday.


I haven't got the new modem yet, but the speed is already increased. It's not up to the advertised 150Mbps down yet, but exceeded the maximum speed of 15 Mbps Up.

lol, yeah i just posted this (below) in the Bell hater thread a couple of days ago....basically rogers now has a hybrid fibre optic network with cable

so just got rogers fibre setup today (hybrid via cable), got a smooookkking deal with the 60mb/s speed package after talking to their CR dept....pretty much half price for 2yrs no lock in/contract. was gonna go 30mb/s as planned but couldn't pass up the 60 with 120gig cap. also worked a new cellphone deal (early hardware upgrade as well).

it's like $37/mnth after speaking with their CR Dept and setting up the new plan (they did a combo deal with our cableHD, but drop only the net pricing, not cable pricing). still way better than 54.99+tx for 25mb/s before

that includes the new faster wifi modem in the plan which they dropped to about $8.50 /mnth instead of $12/mnth.



rogers site tested at 77.5x and 12.xx with 7ping.

Oh, didn't see that.
Not sure if it's considered fibre optic. I think it starts with fibre at Rogers end, but what we get here is still connected with copper wires.
I guess that's why they call it a "Hybrid" fibre.

I just called Rogers again, because I noticed that Fibre 150 category on the website asking for Check Availability.
When I entered my postal code, it said I wasn't eligible. WTF

So, I talked to the Rogers people and they assured everything is fine.
and I get extra 200GB for having TV, internet, and the Mobile service with Rogers.
The last agent told me that extra 200gb is for new customers only.

Now my plan is $34. 150 Mbps, 550Gb cap.


and the extra 200GB comes with,
Rogers TechXpertTM:

Rogers TechXpertTM Whole Home (valued at $14.99/month)

Router and wireless network assistance
Computer and network peripherals
Digital devices (storage and gaming)
Smartphone and tablet support
Software install and setup support
Virus/malware/spyware removal

No discount on TV.
So, kinda equivalent to getting 20-30% off overall.

I need to switch over too....I think I will call tonight and see what they will do. I'm on Extreme plus ATM w/ free modem @ 50%off.
I prefer more bandwidth than speed tho.

What? That's BS

I am getting this, but only when my computer is directly connected to the modem with cable.


now I get this in my room. Slower than last night without the new modem.

I had 30% discount on my cable, but it expired in January. I called today to get my discount back (just noticed the bill), and they wouldn't, so I cancelled it.

Have to wait for the winback call, Rogers retentions is useless now. Oh and Vas, don't use stream netflix HD, what about torrents? What about working from home. Its not 2000 anymore dude, there is a need for highspeed internet access.

Again with the winback?
If they let me go there is no winning me back this time. I caved last yr during a winback call but not this yr. If I don't get something more stable in terms of price long term this yr I'm gone. 50% or not I'd rather go to tecksavvy and be done with rogers internet once and for all.

What do you do during the down time?
Do you say you are canceling in a couple of months and hope they call back before then?
Or cancel it and have no internet/TV for a while until they call back?

Bingo!

I still haven't had one person show me a "good deal" without Rogers. Teksavvy is over rated.

You cancel & still have service. You have 30 days to return the box before they actually cancel your service.

Pretty much after you call & cancel with Rogers, you wait 2 hours and call winback themselves.They give you good deal & your good. No downtime.

I usually wait 30 mins to be honest & just tell them my friend just got this deal & this is the process he went through, so I want it to. Has never failed me.

Anyone get the new Rogers Hitron CGN3 router/modem? I got it last night, I've had to reboot it probably 4 times already.. And this is when it's in gateway mode (ie not doing anything!).. Fucking god damn piece of shit. Didn't have this problem with the old Cisco DPC3825 gateway I just returned.

this is another thing I'm worried about. there are so many simple, great, modems that can be had for $100 or so. All it does is modem stuff...lol. Then I can get any router I want from $3 to $300. These modem routers, especially the rogers ones, blow big time. The majority of them do anyway. I have a cisco 3825 as well and it has been pretty stable. But all others I read about are just junk.....just like their pvr's. But rogers doesn't allow them, even tho third party resellers of a rogers service allows them no problem.

Do I even have an option of using my own modem with Rogers? If so, I've got one upstairs (Motorola SB6141)

:EDIT: I guess not.. For fuck sakes. If this keeps up it's going back and I'll downgrade my service.

It's in gateway mode, so everything is turned off, wifi, dhcp, firewall, everything.

My Hitron works fine.
Wifi range is not that impressive though.
The Netgear router beside it has a much better range.

Had the same problem. The firmware will update within 48 hours and it will be stable after that. I had to call the fuckers to do it in one day.
