| Has anyone tried to cancel their Rogers yet? Well, my new ISP (AEI) is working very good now, so it was time to cancel Rogers, I talked to a sales representative about canceling my line, I told her, "because of the bandwidth cap that was proposed to me 3 weeks ago". She says, "can I put you on hold?"
"Yeah, okay.."
10 minutes later she come back on the line and says, "I'm so very sorry sir, I have a sales technician who would like to talk to you."
"Yeah, alright"
Then this guy came on the line and asked if I wanted to cancel my service, I said, "yeeeesss"
He said, "is there any particular reason why?"
"Yeah, because of the bandwidth cap that was proposed in my area, I don't enjoy signing up for one service then having the sheets get pulled over my eyes as you 1/2 my service and continue charging me the same amount as the original bandwidth I was signed up for."
He goes, "sir I assure you, Rogers will be introducing a higher speed service soon..."
"..Yeah, but I don't want to pay more"
He continues, "Right now every Rogers customer is paying the same flat rate, when this new faster service is announced ..."
Then I just cut him off, "Listen, I would like to go ahead and just cancel my service now"
"Sir, a assure you, you won't be disappointed with the faster service that will be announced in the future.."
"I told you already, I don't want to hear what you've been told to say, now let me cancel right now, or I'll personally give you the modem myself!"
--Silence---
He comes back, "When would you like us to cancel Rogers High Speed Internet?"
"As soon as possible"
"Could you give me a date?"
"What is the earliest you've got?"
The tech, "Tomorrow between 8 and 11am, I can send a technician to pick up the modem"
"Is that the earliest you've got?"
"Yes"
"That good enough, fine, thank you."
"Thank you for choosing Rogers High Speed Internet, have a good day"
"Bye"
This guy would not quit on me, I told him that I already have a new service, I told him AEI. He was asking me so many questions, that are supposed to make a customer think, "Hmm, should I really cancel?"
That was the most annoying phone call I had to make this year. Glad it's all over with now...*phew*

Yeah, Rogers has always been very aggressive in trying to save the sale. For cable, internet and cellular.

| I checked out AEI, plus EVERY ADSL provider on canadianisp that's less than $50/month.... NONE are available in my area...
I recently moved to one of those new areas, where everything's still under construction 
Anyone got a solution? I don't really care about speeds as long as it's 50kb/sec download, 10kb/sec upload, cheap, and no limits. |

Calgary, AB | Oh sure, Neeloy. Bell does what they can to try and save the sale, but they usually offer stuff the customer wants. Rogers has this annoying habit of ramming their service down your throat when you try to cancel. They don't give you any breaks, they just try to make you feel like a moron. At least that was my experience when I cancelled my cell service and cable with them.

North Las Vegas, NV | True, but by offering customers these ridiculously low offers, they have given all these expectations to people that they can't maintain. Bell has been offering a ridiculously cheap service to undercut Rogers and hoping that once they had won the sales, they would be able to up their prices and people would stay with them. Whether this strategy will work or not is still to be seen. I'm not saying that I agree with what Rogers has done, just that I can see it being necessary for them to take this step to maintain some margins in the present environment. As far as trying to convince customers to hold out on them? Well I think its a nice idea, but I doubt it will work. |

Calgary, AB | That's good. Take it out on people who are just trying to make a living. If you don't like it, hang up. There is absolutely no need ever to be rude to a telemarketer.

I will reply for him(hope he doesn't mind), I just wanted to answer your question quickly. He got the external Daewoo modem for $200.00, its amazing, seen with my own eyes, and he is at borderline for the service, and it is the 3.5 mbits/800 kilobits connection, the pings are a little lousey but he is working on getting that fixed, btw the modem looks really nice.

He got it from them, sorry, I thought I stated that. he also had a problem with the modem they sent him, would only connect for 10 minutes then would loose sync, but they sent out purolator to give him a new one, and it works like a charm, he is tweaking like mad. Nice connection though, apart from the pings. |
