What's actually different
- Two Rogers internet increases in 2026
- oxio rides Rogers cable in Ontario and BC to Manitoba
- oxio: no term contract, $0 setup, modem lent
Two increases in one year
Rogers raised some home internet prices twice in 2026: about $10 a month for some customers on two-year terms early in the year, then $7 a month on certain packages from the first bill on or after August 18 [1]. Customers on an active promo or guaranteed rate keep it until the original end date [1], which is exactly why the end date is the number to watch.
Rogers also absorbed Shaw. Since June 2025, Shaw's website redirects to Rogers [2], so if you're in Western Canada and still think of yourself as a Shaw customer, this is the comparison you want.
The awkward (and useful) detail
oxio rents Rogers' cable network in Ontario and from BC to Manitoba [4]. In those areas, moving from Rogers to oxio can mean the same cable with a different price policy on top: no term contract [6], $0 activation, installation and shipping, and a modem lent at no charge [5].
Before you switch, find your Rogers promo or guarantee end date on your bill or account. If it's close, that's your window. If it's far off, check whether leaving early costs anything first.
