Our Rogers Review
Rogers is Canada's largest cable internet provider, operating the Ignite Internet network across Ontario and — since acquiring Shaw in 2023 — BC, Alberta, and Western Canada. For most urban households in these provinces, Rogers cable is the default option: it's almost certainly available at your address and delivers reliable speeds up to 2.5 Gbps on the flagship Ignite Gigabit X plan. The trade-off is price: Rogers consistently ranks among the most expensive Canadian ISPs, and customer service ratings are below average for a provider of its size. If you're in Ontario or Western Canada and want the dominant cable network that's already proven in your neighbourhood, Rogers is the incumbent choice — but independent resellers like TekSavvy offer the same Rogers infrastructure at 30–40% lower prices.
Pros

- ✓Bundle savings with Rogers Wireless
- ✓Unlimited data on all plans
Cons
- ✗Among the pricier national providers
- ✗Customer service ratings below average
- ✗Network congestion in dense urban areas
- ✗Equipment rental fee extra
Rogers and Shaw: One Network Across Canada
In 2023, Rogers completed the $26 billion acquisition of Shaw Communications, making Rogers the dominant cable provider across Western Canada. Shaw's cable network in BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba now operates under Rogers' Ignite brand — the same plans, same pricing structure, and same modem equipment. If you were a Shaw customer before 2023, you are now on the Rogers network. For new customers, this means Rogers cable internet is available across most of urban BC and Alberta — cities like Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Kelowna, and Victoria — alongside Telus PureFibre. In these markets, the Rogers vs Telus choice is effectively the same as the former Shaw vs Telus choice: fast cable vs symmetrical fibre.
What TekSavvy on Rogers Infrastructure Actually Means
When you sign up for TekSavvy, Fido, or Distributel, the physical cable line coming into your home is exactly the same Rogers coaxial wire that a Rogers customer uses. The difference is the price and the service layer. TekSavvy accesses Rogers' cable infrastructure under CRTC-mandated wholesale rates — rates that are regulated specifically to allow independent competition. This is why TekSavvy cable 1 Gbps can cost $60–75/month versus $105/month for Rogers direct. The trade-off for choosing an independent ISP is that Rogers prioritizes its own retail customers during peak congestion and you lose access to Rogers retail stores for in-person support.
Rogers — Frequently Asked Questions
What are Rogers' Ignite internet plans and prices?
Rogers offers four Ignite plans: Starter 50 ($60/mo), Essentials 300 ($90/mo), Gigabit ($105/mo), and Gigabit X at 2.5 Gbps ($135/mo). All plans include unlimited data and a Wi-Fi gateway, and are available month-to-month on a 24-month term.
Is Rogers cable or fibre internet?
Rogers primarily uses cable (DOCSIS) technology across its national network. True fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) is being rolled out in select markets, but most Rogers customers — including those on the former Shaw network in Western Canada — receive cable internet. Cable delivers strong download speeds but asymmetrical upload speeds compared to fibre.
Rogers vs Bell — which is better?
Bell wins on upload speed (symmetrical fibre) and is the stronger pick for remote work, video uploads, or gaming. Rogers wins on footprint: it's the only cable option across most of Ontario and Western Canada. If Bell Fibe is available at your address, it's generally faster for upload-heavy use. If not, Rogers cable is the reliable incumbent choice.
Can I get Rogers internet without a contract?
Yes. All Rogers Ignite plans are available month-to-month with no long-term contract. A 24-month term option is also available and typically offers a lower monthly rate. There is no cancellation fee on month-to-month plans.
Is Rogers internet available at my address?
Rogers has the widest cable footprint in Ontario and Western Canada (BC, AB, SK, MB, NS, NB, NL, PE via the former Shaw network). Coverage reaches most urban and suburban addresses in these provinces. Use our postal code lookup to confirm Rogers is available at your specific address based on CRTC National Broadband Data.
Is Rogers the same as Xfinity?
No — this is a common mix-up, but Xfinity is Comcast's internet brand in the United States and has no connection to Rogers. Rogers' own internet brand in Canada is Ignite. If you're searching for "Xfinity" hoping to find Rogers plans, Ignite is the correct name: Ignite Starter 50, Ignite Essentials 300, Ignite Gigabit, and Ignite Gigabit X are Rogers' current lineup.
