Rogers Raised Your Internet Bill — Here's How to Cut It in Half

By Marc · Updated · Verified Ebox customer

Rogers internet prices went up again. If your bill just got higher, you have options — including switching to a provider that uses the exact same cable at roughly half the monthly cost.

The situation

Rogers raises internet prices $5–$15/month annually, typically when 2-year promotional contracts expire. Customers on Rogers Ignite 500 Mbps now pay ~$115/month all-in (plan + equipment rental). The same speeds are available through Ebox for ~$55/month — same physical Rogers cable, no contract.

The fix — code OR181

Switch to Ebox and save up to $25 at signup — + $25 account credit. Then save ~$60/month every month after. Annual total savings: ~$845 in year one.

Your 3 options when Rogers raises prices

🤙 Option 1 — Call Rogers and negotiate

Call retentions at 1-888-764-3771, mention you're considering switching, and ask for a "loyalty rate." You may get $10–$25/month off for 12–24 months. Downside: the discount expires and prices reset; Rogers still costs $30–$40 more than Ebox even with the discount.

⭐ Option 2 — Switch to Ebox (recommended)

Same Rogers cable network, ~$55/month for 500 Mbps, no contract. New customers save $25 with code OR181. Self-install in 20 minutes. Switch takes about 1 week with zero downtime if done correctly.

😮‍💨 Option 3 — Accept the increase

Do nothing. Pay the higher bill. Not recommended — you're paying ~$60/month more than necessary for identical speeds and reliability.

Is Ebox actually the same as Rogers?

Yes — with one key distinction. Ebox leases Rogers' physical cable infrastructure under CRTC wholesale access rules. The coaxial cable coming into your home is the same Rogers cable. Speeds are identical. The difference:

  • Price: Ebox ~$55/month vs Rogers ~$115/month (500 Mbps all-in)
  • Contract: Ebox is month-to-month. Rogers requires 2 years for promo pricing.
  • Support: Rogers has in-store support. Ebox is phone/email — rated well for response time.
  • Equipment: Ebox includes modem + router free. Rogers charges $15/month rental.
  • Max speeds: Rogers offers 1.5 Gbps and 2.5 Gbps tiers. Ebox tops out at 1 Gbps — sufficient for 99% of households.
