Cost Comparison

IPTV vs Rogers and Bell: what you actually pay

Cable bills in Canada are not one number — they are a base package, a sports add-on, a box rental, a second-room fee, a PVR fee and taxes. Once you add it up, many GTA households pay between $130 and $190 a month for TV alone. Here is a line-by-line comparison against IPTV.

The fees cable does not advertise

  • Promotional pricing that expires after 12 or 24 months and can jump $30–$50.
  • Equipment rental you keep paying and never own.
  • Per-receiver charges for every additional TV in the house.
  • Early cancellation fees if you leave inside the contract term.
  • Regional sports blackouts that can still apply on packages you paid extra for.

What you keep when you switch

Popular Canadian channels: CBC, CTV, Global, City, CP24, Discovery, HGTV, TSN, Sportsnet and RDS. NHL coverage including Hockey Night in Canada. NFL, NBA, MLB, F1, UFC, and Premier League and Champions League content, 4K where available. Plus a large on-demand library and Indian, Arabic, UK, Latino and European channels that cable often treats as premium tiers — availability varies by package, so confirm what you want with us first.

What you give up

Being fair about it: you give up a single bundled bill, a technician appointment, and the cable company's own cloud PVR interface. You keep your internet with Rogers, Bell, Telus or whoever you use today — only the TV portion gets cancelled. If you are on a bundle, call and re-price internet-only before you cancel TV; we will walk you through the wording by text.

Work out your own number

Pull up last month's Rogers or Bell bill and find the TV subtotal — not the bundle total. Subtract $15. That difference, times twelve, is what switching is worth to you this year. Our pricing calculator does the same maths for multi-device households, where the gap is even wider because we charge $10 per extra screen instead of a full second receiver.

Try before you cancel anything

Do not cancel cable on day one. Take the free 2-day trial, run it on your own TV and internet, watch a live game, and check the channels you care about. If it works, switch. If it does not, you have lost nothing — and every paid plan is still covered by a 7-day money-back guarantee.
