Teksavvy can only allow third-party modems that Rogers is willing to
activate. You need to ensure you're meeting the minimum Docsis requirements
that Rogers is enforcing for new service. I found it not worth my time
worrying about saving $20, and just got my modem from teksavvy
pre-allocated to my account.

Also, teksavvy also has new rates coming June 15: I believe everybody gets
the same speed changes at the same time due to the ATIPA arrangement they
all share.
