The Local Ontario Alternative to Rogers Internet and Cable

If you're a Rogers internet or cable TV customer in Ontario, chances are you've noticed your bill creeping up year after year. What started as a $79 promotional rate is now $120, $140, or more — and you're locked into a 2-year contract with an early termination fee hanging over you if you try to leave. When you do call Rogers to resolve a billing issue or a service outage, you're often waiting 20–40 minutes just to reach someone who may not be able to help.

Fiberlinx is a local Ontario internet and cable TV provider built as a genuine Rogers alternative. We offer the same core channel lineup and fast, unlimited internet — but at prices that start at $64.97/month, on a month-to-month basis with no contracts, no setup fees, and a local support team that answers in under a minute. Most customers switching from Rogers to Fiberlinx save between $40 and $60 every single month.

This page walks you through exactly why customers are switching from Rogers, how Fiberlinx compares side by side, how the switching process works, and answers to the most common questions from Rogers customers considering a change.

Why Customers Are Switching From Rogers

Rogers customers across Ontario are switching in growing numbers. Here are the four most common reasons they make the call.

Rogers Price Hikes After Promo

Rogers promotional pricing typically expires after 12–24 months. When it does, your monthly bill can jump by $30–$50 or more — often with little notice. Fiberlinx never raises prices after a promotional period because we don't have promotional pricing to begin with. The rate you sign up at is the rate you pay.

Rogers Outages and Reliability

Rogers has experienced several significant national outages in recent years that left millions of Canadians without internet, cable TV, and even cell service for hours or days. As a local Ontario provider, Fiberlinx operates on regional infrastructure with a local team that responds quickly — not a national network where a single failure affects the entire country.

Rogers Contract Penalties

Rogers typically requires a 2-year service agreement with early termination fees of up to $600 if you cancel before your term ends. If your situation changes — you move, your income changes, or you simply find a better deal — you're stuck. Fiberlinx is month-to-month with zero cancellation fees. You can cancel any time, for any reason, without penalty.

Rogers Customer Service Wait Times

Rogers customer support consistently ranks among the most frustrating in Canada, with reported average phone wait times of 20–40 minutes. When you finally reach someone, you may be transferred multiple times before getting a resolution. Fiberlinx customers reach a live Ontario-based agent in under a minute on average — every time.

How to Switch From Rogers to Fiberlinx

The process of switching from Rogers to Fiberlinx is straightforward. We've designed it so you're never without service, never pressured, and never surprised by hidden costs. Here's how it works in three steps:

1

Call Us

Call (647) 477-0670 and we'll confirm service availability at your address, walk you through the bundle options, and schedule your free installation — all in one call.

2

We Install

A local Fiberlinx technician arrives within 1–2 business days, installs your modem and TV boxes, and confirms everything is working perfectly before leaving. Installation is completely free.

3

Cancel Rogers

Once your Fiberlinx service is live and you're happy with it, call Rogers to cancel. Return their equipment by dropping it at a Rogers store or using their prepaid return label. No rush — we don't care how long you overlap.

We recommend keeping Rogers active for a few days after your Fiberlinx installation just so you can compare the services side by side. Since Fiberlinx is month-to-month, there's zero pressure. That said, the vast majority of customers call Rogers to cancel within the first week — once they see the difference in price and experience, the choice is easy.

Keep Your Favourite Channels When You Switch

One of the most common concerns Rogers customers have is whether they'll lose their favourite channels when switching to a new provider. The short answer: no. Fiberlinx carries all of the major Canadian broadcast, sports, news, and lifestyle channels that Rogers customers rely on every day.

Every Fiberlinx plan includes a free PVR so you can continue recording your shows on any TV, tablet, or phone in the home — the same way you do today with Rogers. Our Ultra tier covers 100+ HD channels, giving you the same breadth of programming at a fraction of the Rogers price.

  • All major broadcast channels — CBC, CTV, Global, City, TVO, CPAC

Common Questions From Rogers Customers

Everything you need to know before switching from Rogers to Fiberlinx in Ontario.

Can I switch from Rogers without penalty?

+
If you are outside your Rogers contract term, you can switch any time with no penalty from Rogers. If you are still inside a Rogers 2-year contract, Rogers may charge an early termination fee of up to $600 depending on how much time remains. Fiberlinx charges no switching fee on our end — our service is month-to-month with no commitments. We recommend calling Rogers at 1-888-764-3771 to confirm your exact contract end date and any penalty amount before making the switch. Many customers find that even after paying the Rogers penalty, the monthly savings with Fiberlinx ($40–$60/month) mean the math pays off within a year.

Will I lose my channels when I switch from Rogers to Fiberlinx?

+
No — you keep all of your favourite channels. Fiberlinx carries the complete lineup of major Canadian channels including CBC, CTV, Global, City, TSN, Sportsnet, CP24, CNN, BBC World News, HGTV, Food Network, Discovery, History, Treehouse, Family Channel, and more. Our Ultra tier includes 100+ HD channels. A free PVR is included on all plans so you can continue recording shows on any TV, tablet, or smartphone just as you do with Rogers today. Not sure about a specific channel? Call us at (647) 477-0670 and we'll confirm it's available in your area.

How much cheaper is Fiberlinx compared to Rogers?

+
Fiberlinx internet and cable TV bundles start at $64.97/month with no contracts and no setup fees. A comparable Rogers internet and cable package typically runs $110/month or more — and that rate often increases after the initial promotional period ends. Most customers switching from Rogers to Fiberlinx save $40 to $60 per month, which works out to $480 to $720 per year in savings. On top of that, you also avoid Rogers' setup fees (typically $49.99–$149.99) and the monthly equipment rental fee for the PVR, which Fiberlinx includes free. The savings add up significantly over the life of what would have been your Rogers contract term.

Do I need new equipment when I switch from Rogers?

+
Yes, you'll need Fiberlinx equipment — but it's provided at no charge. Our technician brings and installs a new modem and TV box (or boxes) during your free in-home installation appointment, which is scheduled within 1–2 business days of signing up. You return your Rogers equipment separately by dropping it off at a Rogers store location or using their prepaid return-by-mail label, which Rogers provides when you cancel. You do not need to return Rogers equipment before your Fiberlinx installation — wait until your Fiberlinx service is up and running first.

Is Fiberlinx reliable? How does it compare to Rogers for network quality?

+
Fiberlinx delivers reliable internet and cable TV over established cable infrastructure in the GTA and Ontario, maintained by a local team with direct accountability to the customers we serve. Rogers, while a major national carrier, has experienced several significant Canada-wide outages in recent years that left millions of customers without internet, cable TV, and cell service simultaneously — sometimes for over 24 hours. As a regional provider focused on Ontario, Fiberlinx is not exposed to single-point national network failures. When issues do occur, our local team responds and resolves them far faster than a national provider navigating a coast-to-coast infrastructure incident. Our customers consistently cite reliability and local responsiveness as primary reasons they stay with Fiberlinx after switching.

What if I'm still in a Rogers contract?

+
You have a few options worth considering. Option 1: Call Rogers and ask exactly how much your early termination fee would be today. The fee typically decreases the closer you are to your contract end date, so you may be closer to penalty-free than you think. Option 2: Do the math. If switching to Fiberlinx saves you $50/month and your Rogers penalty is $300, you break even in just 6 months — and save money every month after that. Many customers decide the penalty is worth paying immediately. Option 3: Wait it out. Call us now, get a quote, and book your Fiberlinx installation to be scheduled for the day your Rogers contract ends. We'll hold the appointment and you can switch with zero overlap and no fees. Either way, call us at (647) 477-0670 — we're happy to help you work through the math.
