Went strictly Internet. Called Rogers one day and said, "My contract is up, cancel my home phone, cell phones (2), cable and Internet." They went ballistic when I wouldn't tell them who I went with so they could match. The rep actually proclaimed in the most arrogant tone imaginable, "You'll be back!" Ha! Never went back and don't miss them at all.

When I was with Rogers in Toronto (cable & cell) I was constantly amazed at their poor customer service and their arrogant and unpleasant attitude. Until I called to quit: that was the most pleasant attitude ever conveyed by a Rogers rep in my 16~ years with them.
July 17, 20195 yr comment_408102 We left Rogers when we moved from Calgary to Vancouver and they wanted to charge us a $10 change of address fee.
July 17, 20195 yr comment_408129 I left Rogers two years ago and they still send me a statement every month showing that I have a $20 credit. I asked them to just send me a cheque and they said that the credit is only transferable to another Rogers account. So instead I just let them waste money on postage every month sending me the statement.
July 17, 20195 yr comment_408236 Rogers used a collection agency to contact me about a two year old $50.00 bill.....which was in the name of my deceased niece. My reaction was somewhat less than measured.....

"We apologize for the delay in the Winnipeg - Saskatchewan playoff game. Well return after our hour long analysis of the horrendous Austin Matthews hangnail injury." With Rod Black doing the play calling, TSN isn't all that far off that description. And the CFL is treated like a poor relative to the NHL. We can kvetch all we like, but that is never going to change. I cite 1290 radio as proof.

I was just thinking this on my ride in this morning. I am so sick of hearing about the RFAs not signing until Sept. When one signs tell us if not, **** off. Tell us some news about the CFL and actual sports that are being played right now.

My reaction was somewhat less than measured..... Sheesh. I can't imagine anyone blaming you if you lost it on them. I guess they figure if they farm it out to a collection agency, well, it's not us, it's them. We would never ... Yeah right.

I’ve heard that cord cutters have an impact on pub traffic. Have never had anyone first hand say so. It’s a solution, obviously, but not necessarily practical for me. Ok, I’ve not gone on a deep dive into solving the live sports issue yet.

I do find it odd though that they have zero time for the Goldeyes and Valour FC but can dedicated 15 minutes on horse racing which nobody cares about.

I've mentioned this on the forum before, TSN offers 24-hour day passes to stream CFL games for a very reasonable $4.99 per day... much better than ridiculous cable prices, considering I can get my main news source (CBC) also online for free.
