Re: [Cable] TC7650

Teksavvy should sell this modem and provide all the necessary support. It's unfortunate that you did not have a good experience with TP-Link support.

I'm personally happy the Teksavvy allows you to bring your own modem, even if it means a support nightmare occasionally. I'd rather that, than being forced to use something or perpetually rent.

In the meantime I'm happy with my TC7650 so far. It's been solid for the first week. Speed upgrade to 150/15 only took a couple hours.

Amazon.ca sold it initially for ~$100, now they seems to not:

»www.amazon.ca/gp/offer-l ··· tion=all

Amazon.com is also an option:

»www.amazon.com/gp/offer- ··· 5&sr=8-1

But you'll have to factor in usd to cad conversion and import taxes, but even then it will probably end up cheaper than the current amazon.ca listings.

But as far as I know, they all have the exact same hardware and firmware revision, meaning amazon.com TC7650 modems will work just fine in Canada on Rogers.

The same one on the Rogers approved modem list:

Cpuroast, the Amazon.com ones are all from 3rd party sellers - wouldn't trust 'em

Do the Prime US trial and kill it, once you got the modem.

I believe it works. I've only used mine on the US site to ship to a US address though...
