When you use a third party ISP for internet on that cable, you cannot buy home phone or TV from Bell or Rogers.
Recently, Rogers dropped support for my older model TV boxes on their Nextbox TV service (in anticipation of planning to later shut down the service altogether). When I talked to them about my options, I told them I wanted to keep my current ISP, which was Teksavvy (over Rogers coax). They said I would have to change my TV service to Rogers Xfinity but could have that separately, still using Teksavvy as my ISP. So, the above quote isn't entirely true. And for those wondering; in the end, I decided to cancel my Rogers account entirely and switched to Teksavvy's IPTV service, still with Teksavvy ISP over Rogers coax. I also had, and still have, a VoIP "landline" phone service using Ooma. -- Scott
