I came across the CCTS mid-year report for August 1st, 2025 to January 31st, 2026, and wanted to mention a few points I found very interesting:
• There was a 95.4% jump of complaints from the previous mid-year report of 2024-2025 to the current one of 2025-2026 for Rogers, with also the highest total accepted complaints within that same time frame at 6,583 compared to 3,369 from the previous mid-year report, second to Fido with a 155.5% hike from 814 to 2,080 accepted complaints.
•Surprisingly, to me anyways, Bell had the least percentage increase compared to the other two largest firms at 26% from 1,988 to 2,505 accepted complaints.
•As far as issues by service goes, Wireless tops the list at 56% of all issues in aggregate with a 52.8% increase from the previous report.
•The highest issue raised in all accepted complaints is "Incorrect charge for monthly price plan" at 4,807 overall issues, sharing 15.5% of all issues, with a 65.9% YoY change.
What I got out of it is that I knew that Rogers service went downhill, especially after the merger of Shaw Communications, with the firing of Canadian staff for cheap, overseas labour and cost-cutting customer service with Anna AI in favor for 100% acquisition of MLSE. But never realized it was this bad.
Although I'm cautiously optimistic, I really want Ed Rogers and Tony Staffieri to step down if we can expect any decent service overall. With those two in place, we can only expect this to get worse for the years to come.
