Rogers Wireless: Thriving or Heading to a fall?
Nov 17th, 2012 by asfvinpugunisparam
The blog post titled “Goodbye Rogers” by Chris Umiastowski intrigued me in a number of way. Firstly i can sense from the title and after reading the article that he does not seem to like Rogers that much. But why? It seems that Rogers overcharges him for the landline and he could get a better deal for his Internet in another company called TekSavvy that was also owned by Rogers.
To me it seems that Rogers are having a monopoly on the telecommunication line and internet connectivity. For an example in the telecommunication line in Canada, there are few giants corporations of what i believe oligopolies of company that running the show. Based on this link (http://www.rogers.com/cms/investor_relations/pdfs/At_A_Glance_Highlights-Rogers_Communications.pdf) Rogers is probably the most used wireless and telecommunication line. Fido is also one of the bigger companies that provides similar service.
However as a Fido user i am rather dissatisfied with the connectivity and data plan that they offer and when compared to my friends who uses Rogers, their connection seems to be better. What is puzzling here is that both of the companies are owned by Rogers. Is Rogers trying to ensure its dominant by buying over other companies and making sure that companies services are not as good but cheaper than theirs? What is certain is that more customers are becoming more frustrated with Rogers services.
