Rogers has notified certain home internet customers that their monthly fee will increase by $7 plus tax, with the new rate taking effect on the first bill issued on or after August 18, 2026.
The increase was communicated through billing statement notices rather than a broad public announcement, meaning many affected customers may not yet be aware of the change.
Multiple Rogers subscribers have independently confirmed receiving identical notice language on their recent bills, and the increase has been discussed extensively on consumer forums, including RedFlagDeals.
This marks the second time in 2026 that Rogers has raised internet prices for certain customers, following a similar round of $7 to $10 increases that took effect in March.
For households already managing rising rent, grocery costs, and utility bills, the additional $84 per year before tax adds to the cumulative pressure on Canadian household budgets.

What the Billing Notice Says
The notice appearing on affected customers’ billing statements follows the same format Rogers has used for previous rate adjustments throughout 2026.
It states that Rogers continually invests in its network to deliver the best-connected experience in Canada, and that the monthly fee for the customer’s internet package will increase by $7 plus tax starting with the first bill on or after August 18, 2026.
The notice also clarifies that any active discount or guaranteed rate will remain in effect until its end date.
Customers on a Rogers, together with Shaw, 2-year ValuePlan that includes an active price guarantee should retain their guaranteed internet price for the applicable twenty-four-month period.
Other two-year agreements may have different terms, so customers should check their individual service agreement.
Services included through condo maintenance fees or rental agreements are not affected by this specific change, according to the billing notice language.
Rogers has not issued a company-wide press release or public pricing page update confirming a blanket $7 internet increase across all packages.
The increase appears to apply to certain internet packages and certain customers, which is consistent with how Rogers has rolled out previous pricing changes in 2026 through targeted billing notices rather than universal announcements.
The Second Internet Increase This Year
The August 18 increase follows an earlier round of internet price adjustments that took effect on March 23, 2026.
In that round, some Rogers internet customers saw increases of $7 per month while others received notices for a $10 per month increase, depending on their specific package.
One documented customer affected by both rounds would be paying $14 more per month than at the beginning of the year, or $168 more annually before tax.
The internet increases come on top of separate wireless price hikes that Rogers and its subsidiary Fido rolled out in July 2026, adding $4 to $5 per month to select cellphone plans through a line item labelled “Wireless Plan Rate Adjustment.”
Those wireless increases prompted the CRTC to take the unusual step of writing directly to Rogers to ask whether the company was imposing the fee during customers’ ongoing commitment periods, signalling a potentially more hands-on approach from Canada’s telecom regulator.
Timeline of Rogers Price Increases in 2026
| Effective Date | Service | Increase |
| March 23, 2026 | Internet (certain packages) | $7 to $10/month |
| July 15, 2026 | Wireless (Rogers and Fido) | $4 to $5/month |
| August 18, 2026 | Internet (certain packages) | $7/month |
Who Is Affected and Who Is Protected
Based on the billing notice language and the pattern from earlier 2026 increases, the following distinctions apply.
Customers on month-to-month internet plans or those whose promotional rates have already expired are the most likely to see the $7 increase on their August bill.
Customers on a Rogers or Shaw two-year ValuePlan with an active internet price guarantee should retain their guaranteed rate for the full twenty-four-month period, but other two-year internet agreements may carry different terms and may not offer the same protection.
Customers receiving internet service through a condo or rental property where the cost is bundled into their housing fees are excluded from this change.
Former Shaw customers who were migrated to Rogers following the 2023 acquisition have reported receiving the same notice language on previous increases, so this round may affect customers in both Ontario and Western Canada.
The only reliable way to confirm whether your specific account is affected is to check the notice section of your most recent Rogers billing statement, either in the printed bill or through the My Rogers app and online account portal.
What Affected Customers Can Do
Rogers customers who receive the $7 increase notice have several options.
Calling Rogers’ retention directly and negotiating a new promotional rate or package is the most commonly used approach, as retention agents typically have more flexibility to offer discounts than frontline customer service.
Switching to a competitor is now easier than it was a year ago, because new CRTC protections took effect June 12, 2026, prohibiting activation and plan-modification fees and strengthening protections against certain cancellation fees.
Filing a complaint with the Commission for Complaints for Tele-television Services is another option, particularly if the increase was applied during an active commitment period without adequate notice.
Telecom and TV complaints to the CCTS increased 61% in its latest mid-year reporting period, with billing remaining the leading source of consumer concerns.
Customers who bundle internet with TV or home phone through Rogers should review whether unbundling and sourcing each service separately from different providers would result in a lower total monthly cost.
Third-party internet service providers that operate on the Rogers cable network, such as TekSavvy and Carry Telecom, offer plans at lower price points, though speeds and service levels vary.
How to Check if Your Bill Is Affected
Open the My Rogers app or log in to your account at rogers.com.
Navigate to your most recent billing statement and look for the “Upcoming Changes” or “Changes to your Internet Service Rate” notice section.
If your bill contains language stating that the monthly fee for your internet package will increase by $7 plus tax starting with your first bill on or after August 18, 2026, your account is affected.
If no such notice appears on your most recent statement, your current package may not be included in this round of increases.
Customers who are uncertain should contact Rogers customer service directly at 1-888-764-3771 and ask whether their specific plan is subject to the August 18 pricing change.
