it is legitimate

I don't remember the details, but some years ago a guy did something very similar - wrote on the back of a check that by cashing it, a company agreed to abide by whatever he had stipulated. The company violated the stipulation and he took them to court and won.

Rogers being a Canadian corporation would be subject to Canadian law. I don't know if it's any more or less restrictive, but legitimate in this case is based on jurisdiction.

I think you are right. But now this is in the news, the cable company can just terminate his service and refuse to do business with him. He may have right on his side, but the cable company has might.

As that case might have been... however most ISP's already have it in their EULA that something like this is void.

So by signing up for service the customer has already agreed to their EULA and then cannot change it afterwards.

It's not considered legitimate in Canadian law unless the payee has been notified in advance and had the opportunity to respond.

As mentioned, they have every right to terminate his service.
