This is expensive in terms of time and effort, so some large organisations, e.g. It is usually seen as an essential transition method for staged deployment of IPv6, but it means two protocols are in play: security must be maintained for both. IPv6 also relies upon multicast availability, which will impact on firewalls, intrusion detection and access control rules.ĭual stacking means devices have both IPv4 and IPv6 protocol capabilities. The common IPv4 practice of blocking ICMP packets as a supposed security measure should not occur, as IPv6 functioning depends on ICMPv6 for error messages, path MTU discovery, multicast group management and Neighbour Discovery. While in theory IPv6 has security benefits vs IPv4 the problem is best summed up via these points which are readily available if you do a search online: By the way my modem rental is included or bundled into the monthly price I pay for all my services. I definitely will refuse to pay the one-time $50 charge that I heard they want to bill people for the XB7. I think I’ll just be patient and wait until this “soft launch” is over and get the XB7 when it does become available to the masses. With my luck Rogers would call my bluff and just allow me to cancel if I use your method of getting the XB7. ![]() I heard that the XB7 would be available to existing customers on February 21st.but that does not seem to be true, even though some Rogers reps I spoke to thought that was the case as well. I wasn’t thrilled that there were only 2 ports on the XB6 and the noise it made was a bit disconcerting as well. My installation was scheduled for March but didn’t happen until June due to COVID. I already had gigabit with the Coda 4592 gateway. If I agreed to go with the Ignite TV installation my bill would basically be the same as it was when I had the promotion pricing. The result was going to be a $70 increase in my monthly fees for Cable, Internet and home phone. My promotion pricing was coming to an end and Rogers weren’t continuing with any deals I had with them. I’m already an Ignite TV customer as I was pretty much forced to become one during the start of the pandemic last year. Thanks for the info.I think I saw this method from you earlier in this thread. They should have plenty of XB7 units in stock so I think you have a very good chance at getting it, provided you go through with this song and dance. Day 3: The XB7 is in my hands (yes, it was delivered that quickly to me in the GTA).Įven if you don't end up getting the XB7, you'll end up getting a cheaper monthly rate. Day 2: getting the call from a Rogers Ambassador and accepting the new offer. I went from 500 Mbps with the white Hitron CODA-4582 for $52.99/month to 1 Gbps with the XB7 for $54.99/month. There's absolutely zero benefit to being a longtime customer and that's reinforced by the best deals being offered by the win-back team. ![]() Don't worry, you won't lose anything from your old one. If you accept the gigabit offer, then you'll be moved to a new account.Right now, it's intended for new customers on a gigabit plan (something I don't agree with but what can you do aside from taking full advantage with this method, lol). As far as I'm aware, that gives you the best chance at getting the XB7. Go with gigabit and mention that you need a Wi-Fi 6 gateway.This includes a $10/month gateway rental fee. You'll likely get the following offers: $44.99 for 300 Mbps, $49.99 for 500 Mbps and gigabit for $54.99.In their system, you're already seen as cancelled which is why the win-back team reaches out. ![]() Some people got it mere hours after putting in the cancellation request. Pretty soon, a Rogers Ambassador will call you.Contact Rogers via Live Chat and request a future-dated cancellation.Here's a way to increase your chances of getting the Gen2 XB7 gateway: And their "new customer" requirement is bullshit. They could've went with Ignite+ or Ignite 2. Rogers, being the dummies they are, decided to name the old account system and new one the same thing: Ignite. The new hardware requires a totally new account. ![]() These companies don't care about how long you've been a customer and it's a waste of time to even question it. You're going to have to lose the loyalty mindset.
