Rogers Ignite bundles climb fast: a Popular-tier TV + internet package that starts near C$120 lands past C$190/month after promos, with sports and theme packs extra. Ironically, Rogers owns Sportsnet — and SMART OTT carries Sportsnet (all regions), TSN, CBC and RDS anyway, plus everything else, for $60/year (~C$82).
Test all 1.7M+ channels before you buy. No card, no commitment.

How to cancel Rogers (Ignite TV) (the right way)
- Check your Ignite agreement end date — most are month-to-month after year one.
- Run the SMART OTT free trial on your Rogers line — verify Sportsnet regions, TSN and your locals.
- Call Rogers (1-888-764-3771) and drop TV, keeping internet if you want. Decline the retention promo unless you enjoy this call annually.

What you keep when you switch

- CTV, Global, Citytv and US networks
- Specialty channels without theme-pack pricing

What you give up (and how to replace it)
