Hot deal for existing Rogers Internet customers.... in Rogers http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r21050390 en Wed, 11 Nov 2009 12:13:57 EDT Wed, 11 Nov 2009 12:13:57 EDT Re: Hot deal for existing Rogers Internet customers.... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21378873 fyrdie : I'm a little skeptical too. Buy another modem then get refunded the money? Sounds odd.

We bought the SB5100 about two years ago after Rogers kept telling us they were going to discontinue and disconnect our old Cybersurfer modem. Even though we bought our modem and returned the old one we still get a modem charge added to our monthly bill. We did call to ask about it but were told that they cannot remove it. Don't really know why.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21378873 Wed, 05 Nov 2008 02:41:02 EDT Re: Hot deal for existing Rogers Internet customers.... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21371916 mordin :

I am staying with my rented Motorola as well, $99 is a lot of money for me to put out, and my worry here is if it breaks or becomes unusable, then what? will I have to pay to get it fixed??
The credit the whole amount (including taxes) against your Rogers account so the modem ends up costing nothing. As sbrook says there's a 12 month warranty - if it breaks after the 12 months then throw it out and go back to renting.

My Motorola modem I've NEVER had a problem with and I like it a lot... $4 a month is not a lot of money for the ability to use it and if anything should ever go wrong, it's Rogers liable, NOT ME, and I like the size of the motorola and that it stands on its end, I also am used to the lights on it and have figured out what each light means and where the buttons are and where things plug in..for a Legally blind person, that is VERY importent..

1. Bought a new modem (SA DPC2100R2).

2. Came home, called the number on the box.

3. The CSR asked my account number with Rogers and Serial number of the new modem. (Nobody asked MAC address to my surprise).

4. CSR said that the new modem will be activated as soon as old one gets returned.

5. Went to nearest Rogers Video, returned the modem.

6. Came back home and plugged the new modem. It went online no problem.

7. Received my first bill with credit already applied (payment due: 0.00 Balance -70.something)

1. need to return your rental before they will provision the new modem and before they will credit your account.

2. it took 4 phone calls to get the credit applied all very helpful CSR's but the # on the box is not the retail fullfilment # although every CSR said it was. You just seem to always get throught to the wrong team and they have to requeue you.

After the 1st offering to buy the modem for Extreme didn't Rogers swap out the modems for the Motorolas at no charge? I seem to remember having a different modem at 1st.

because it will take nearly 3 years to pay for itself compared to rental
With the FS offer (I think it's still on) the modem costs nothing as they will credit the $100 you paid off your account. I bought 1 and I already own a Motorola, sold the free router for $25 so once they credit my account I'll be a head on the deal.

It's now just over 4 years old ... about 30 months at $5 per month (rental charge) and then the rest at $3 per month. So that's about $150 + 60 = $210 ... so, I could have bought 3 modems at the price I paid, and 2 at the normal price ... and it has operated without a hitch.

I won't replace it until DOCSIS 3.0 comes out unless I have to.

I'd be a little reluctant to have anyone buy at $100 if you're a real "speed freak" (not necessarily a high data transfer freak!!!) because it will take nearly 3 years to pay for itself compared to rental, and DOCSIS 3 is sure to come out before then (I hope!).]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21138347 Fri, 19 Sep 2008 17:16:01 EDT Re: Hot deal for existing Rogers Internet customers.... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21138156 Mashiki :

As Mordin said, the modems are in a packaged sealed box, like shown in the picture originally posted by MarkAW, and they are brand new modems. It was me who previously indicated that the manufacture's date on the modem I bought is 03/08. These are not refurbish; as well, the modem comes with a one-year warranty covered by Rogers.

At sometime the modem will break, or at when Docsis 3 is rolled out, all those rental modems will have to be upgraded/replaced.

You're best bet, Gman, is call 1-877-236-7208. This is the telephone number on the box. This is the route I followed before purchasing the modem. I, too, had concerns, but after speaking with the CSR at the promotional department last evening, any doubts I may have had have been far removed.

The deal is legit. There is no catch. The modem can be purchased at Best Buy, Future Shop, The Source, etc. It's called a Grab and Go deal.

I went to the local FS and got their last one. The sales guy explained the drill: call the number, give them the new modem serial number (its a Scientific Atlanta WebSTAR DPC2100R2) and it is then READY to run. You have to then return your existing modem to a Rogers outlet where the return will trigger the activation of the new modem.

By the time I got home from returning the old modem, the new one was running just fine.

The FS sales guy thought the rebate would be after 3 months, but in fact the telephone rep said she credited my account $113.99 (so I made $1) and my monthly bill will drop by $3.

This sounds like a great deal if your renting. Save you up to $60/year.
Is the router bundled or off the shelf ?

Let me play the devils advocate here and ask, would you trust a router from Rogers ?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21056563 Thu, 04 Sep 2008 12:39:45 EDT Re: Hot deal for existing Rogers Internet customers.... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21056053 alexpb1 :

Has anyone tried this? From any other FS store? (no, Markham isn't around the corner from me...) I find it hard to believe this is possible for *existing* Rogers customers, but ...

I'd get it as a spare in case the modem I have now dies. Spare modem for a reserve and a free router to sell - same one I already have. :D]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21052470 Wed, 03 Sep 2008 17:57:26 EDT Re: Hot deal for existing Rogers Internet customers.... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21050607 a_large_rock : Anyone know why rogers wants to get rid of these modems? Is there some flaw in the hardware? Crash often? Are they ipv6 compatable? Maybe rogers might be rolling out DOCSIS 3?

My SB5100 is rock steady reliable, I can do so many things with it if I choose. And I don't trust Rogers. So. I'll pass. It's probably a good deal, but I grew up with the adage of "if it's too good to be true it probably is". You know?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21050446 Wed, 03 Sep 2008 11:42:30 EDT Hot deal for existing Rogers Internet customers.... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21050390 MarkAW : ....& Free Wireless N Router!

quote:
If your Internet is from Rogers, and you're a current customer - you can save $4.95 per month by eliminating the modem rental fee. Future Shop is currently selling the Rogers Internet Modem for $100 - and after activation, Rogers will credit back the $100 to your account (basically, you pay for the taxes only).

Since you now own the modem, you don't need to pay for the modem rental fees from Rogers. In addition, they're also including a free D-Link Wireless N Router with the Rogers modem.

Basically, you pay $13 for the Rogers Modem, a D-Link Wireless N Router, and get to save $5 each month. The discount works even if you have a bundle savings from Rogers. There's no contract or anything.
