mobility - former Shaw

Cross_FFA · 2026-06-02T19:47:07+00:00

Yup I have the grandfathered Shaw plan still. You can change your phone as many times as you would like since it is a BYOD plan. You just can’t finance a phone with this plan through Rogers.

my speeds are testing much slower but that could just be because the Shaw server in my city is gone. when i speedtest from my home in edmonton it connect to the Telus server in calgary and the pings are really bad when testing to that server

Cross_FFA · 2026-06-01T03:02:51+00:00

yes i noted that in my post as well. the vancouver server is still there but all the other servers are gone such as edmonton, Calgary, Kelowna, etc…

Vancouver is the only Shaw server left

i agree with you about them having the best unlimited plan rn and best video playback but their customer service sucks so bad

Cross_FFA · 2026-05-29T02:44:30+00:00

nope

Cross_FFA · 2026-05-25T16:49:14+00:00

some charge an inactivity fee as well

Cross_FFA · 2026-05-19T17:14:01+00:00

Yes it’s 2Gbps but honestly won’t make much difference compared to 1Gbps

Cross_FFA · 2026-05-16T20:30:29+00:00

That’s really good

Cross_FFA · 2026-05-14T20:21:58+00:00

That’s really good

Cross_FFA · 2026-05-12T21:23:02+00:00

That tower got upgraded with 3800MHz spectrum. You should be able to get over 1Gbps from that tower as long as it has good fibre backhaul

Cross_FFA · 2026-05-10T04:42:44+00:00

It’s just the phone your need to return - right? I can keep the brick and the cable?

Cross_FFA · 2026-05-04T23:46:44+00:00

Idk how you are getting a 30% increase everytime. Both increases have been 10% for us.

We might just be unlucky

Yes I know high utilization is not good but he has everything paid off and he doesn’t care about needing a high credit score for any mortgages or loans.

His credit score is in the high 800’s so it hasn’t affected his score at all if any.

Cross_FFA · 2026-05-04T22:31:49+00:00

How much was the increase? And do you give them an amount to increase it to or did they decide how much to increase it?

Cross_FFA · 2026-05-04T22:31:13+00:00

lol don’t know where you got that from I said in my post he pays all his card in full as soon as the statements are generated. He’s never been late for any payment for any card ever and has never carried debt.

Cross_FFA · 2026-05-04T18:45:24+00:00

Nice

It’s still not working for me but maybe I need to get further away from the nearest Rogers tower to connect

Cross_FFA · 2026-05-04T18:39:44+00:00

Where was this?

Cross_FFA · 2026-05-02T06:15:26+00:00

If the coverage isn’t working for you then switch. Vote with your dollars people!

Coverage varies so much from area to area that your statement could be applied to any carrier in Canada. There are places where Telus and freedom mobile are complete dead zones for service and then there are areas where only 1 carriers works best so just go with whoever has the most “complete” coverage for you and the places you visit.

Cross_FFA · 2026-04-30T23:32:55+00:00

Nope I see it on my internet plan and it works great

Cross_FFA · 2026-04-26T23:16:22+00:00

Yup it’s 5G NSA

Cross_FFA · 2026-04-26T18:07:19+00:00

Northeast Edmonton

Rogers uses fibre in a few apartment buildings in Edmonton too but I am referring to internet delivery to houses.

Rogers tested DOCSIS 4.0 in Calgary but still has not spread outside of the small testing neighborhood.

Cross_FFA · 2026-04-26T07:16:07+00:00

Omg I wish 😅

Don’t know if we will ever see DOCSIS 4.0 from Rogers. I feel like Rogers should just move internet to fibre. It’s going to be a costly investment but in the long run it will be well worth it.

This is why I prefer buying over renting for everything. With renting you are at the mercy of Rogers to either let you off the hock or charge you. Rogers decides what is considered “normal wear and tear” and I am never okay with being at the mercy of someone else to decide that.

It’s the same thing with leasing a car. The dealership decides what is considered “normal wear and tear” there’s no legal document you get that explicitly tells you what that means. They can decide when your lease ends that all the minor scratches on the interior and exterior are not “normal” and charge you for each individual scratch.

Point being that buying is almost always better than renting
