Pricing — Ebox is $40–60 cheaper every month
Rogers is one of Canada's most expensive internet providers. A Rogers 500 Mbps plan typically runs $95–105/month for new customers, rising after any promotional period. Ebox offers comparable 500 Mbps service for ~$55/month with no promotional gimmicks — that's the actual ongoing price.
Rogers also charges $12–15/month for equipment rental. Ebox includes a modem and router at no extra charge. Once you add the equipment fee, a Rogers customer is often paying $108–120/month all-in for the same speed Ebox delivers for $55.
The annual savings from switching to Ebox from Rogers can exceed $600–700 per year. On top of that, Ebox's current $25 on your first month — a $25 off your first month on 500 Mbps or 1 Gbps plans plus a $25 referral credit using code OR181.
Switching from Rogers ($100/mo + $13 equipment = $113/mo) to Ebox ($55/mo, equipment included) saves $696 per year. With the current $535 total.
Contracts — Ebox has none
Rogers promotional pricing is typically tied to a 24-month term. The low introductory rate you see advertised usually expires after 12–24 months, after which your bill increases significantly. Early cancellation fees can reach $360 or more.
Ebox operates purely month-to-month. There are no contracts, no promotional periods that expire, and no cancellation fees. The price you see is the price you pay indefinitely — or you leave anytime with zero penalty.
Speed and reliability
Both Ebox and Rogers use cable network infrastructure (DOCSIS 3.1) in many service areas, delivering equivalent real-world speeds. For the typical household — streaming 4K, video calls, gaming — both providers perform identically at 500 Mbps.
Rogers offers higher top-tier plans up to 2.5 Gbps in select markets via its XB8 gateway. Ebox tops out at 1 Gbps. Unless you're running a home server or regularly transferring terabytes of data, this difference is irrelevant for everyday use.
Reliability is comparable. Rogers has a larger infrastructure team and potentially faster outage resolution in major urban centres, but day-to-day uptime is similar across both providers.
Ebox’s referral code OR181 gives new customers $25 off their first month on any plan — no contract, equipment included free.
