Gloucester, ON | Rogers offered me So a rogers guy came to the door today and asked if i was on teksavvy, i told him yes. he asked me what speed am i on and how much bandwidth i use per month.
I told him that i'm on 28/1 and I use about 150gb per month he then offered me 35 down 3 up with 200gb bandwidth for 45$/month which is good for the next 8 years with no contract which sounds really good to me since I am not a heavy bandwidth user. Even when teksavvy goes aggregated it will be 49.95$/month for the 35/3 this could save 5$/month.
He also told me that the modem and router are in one device which is pretty nice, although I do prefer to use my own router. But it's not that important. I think the modem was called a citron? something like that I can't remember the exact name of it so yea...
What are your thoughts on this offer? |

Gatineau, QC | My thoughts are that you have a sleazy door to door salesperson who will say anything to close a sale.
No way in hell Rogers would guarentee anything for 8 years. |

Well I could write this all up and ask him to sign a paper to make it official that they can't change anything on it? |

Re: Rogers offered me Hmm well he literally just offered me this 25-30minutes ago. I don't see why he would offer me this if it was already over. |

Because there is a sucker born every minute 
The modem he was talking about is the Hitron and I believe they have issues so it would be better to put it in bridge mode and use your own router. |

The deal is likely legitimate. The main problem I see is it meets your current needs without providing any options if those needs change. There is no $31/month 6mbps/256kpbs 300GB package to drop down to if money becomes tight for example. |

Plus he's almost certainly not a Rogers employee. To my knowledge they don't employ door-to-door salespeople. So probably some "guy" from some private company who may or may not be a Rogers reseller. Either way, even if you got a contract signed, I'll bet it won't be with Rogers, and not binding to them.

He's only a contracted employee... He could sign anything but it won't be worth anything unless it comes from the Rogers Corp. |

It is a legitimate offer, but if you don't trust Rogers to honour it then don't sign up.
Despite what people have been saying of RFD, the offer is not expired. They've simply restricted the promotion so that only certain departments can offer it. Door to door, is one of them that can still offer this promotion. |

When you go to a wirelesswave and sign up for a plan, the contract is enforceable despite the fact that you're not dealing with an official carrier employee... |

Personally I've never been with Rogers, so I have nothing against them. If I don't need to pay an installation fee I might go with it I'm pretty sure it would be 39$+tax which comes to 45$ which is pretty good.
He didn't know what he was talking about when I said I owned my own modem so it wouldn't be a problem he insisted I use his modem. Anyways I might take his offer up. Right now I pay 46.95+tax (53.05/month) I could save about 8$/month which is pretty sweet imo. |

The deal is good for 8 years ... but you can bet your bottom dollar that they'll put the price up annually. All they're guaranteeing is that they won't steal your 35/3/200 package ... i.e. they'll grandfather it for 8 years even if the deal goes away. |

Gloucester, ON | With cloud technology, and 4K movies coming to NetFlix 200gb cap will not be enough in the next 2-3 years. I'm probably not going to take this offer now that I think about it. Some big changes will have to change in canada's internet stage when 4k starts getting used...
A friend of mine from Japan just got 200mbps down, 100mbps up package for 9.95$ Canadian a month with no cap, i am so jealous... |

Rogers and Bell will increase their monthly overage max charge to $1000.00 and there will be loads of people still thinking they're getting a Great Deal.........Unlimited tiers will be a blip in the ISP history books and TPIA will be running for cover. |
