I always assume incompetence before malice, for Rogers, that goes triple.
It is a shit network build on layers of shit.
It is owned by a crazy family in a perpetual feud that could have inspired Succession.

Their cellular business used to be called Cantel 30 years ago and we called it Can’t Talk.
Their CIO is from Vodaphone.

Interac (Debit) apparently has their primary and backup network services with Rogers. They need a new executive team ASAP.
