the 850 MHz network was shut down on August 7, 2025.
This shutdown date is incorrect. Rogers’ own support pages after August 7, 2025 still describe HSPA+/3G service as active, and one page says a 3G-based Smart Home Monitoring feature would stop working only after September 26, 2025.
Full reasoning
Rogers' current support content contradicts the claim that its 850 MHz UMTS/HSPA network was already shut down on August 7, 2025.
- Rogers' support page for LTE devices still says that outside LTE coverage areas, Rogers LTE devices "will seamlessly fall back to 4G HSPA+ or EDGE technologies". That statement indicates HSPA+ service remained available when the page was retrieved in August 2026.
- Rogers' Smart Home Monitoring support page says the system "currently uses the Rogers 3G mobile network" and that the cellular backup feature on affected touchpads would stop working after September 26, 2025 because the 3G network was being retired. If the 850 MHz/3G network had already been shut down on August 7, 2025, Rogers would not describe it as still in use with a later cutoff.
Together, these official Rogers pages show the article's specific shutdown date is wrong.

Outside of LTE coverage areas, Rogers LTE devices will seamlessly fall back to 4G HSPA+ or EDGE technologies so you'll remain connected on the Rogers wireless network.

Your Rogers Smart Home Monitoring system currently uses the Rogers 3G mobile network... As the 3G mobile network is being retired, the cellular backup feature on your current touchpad will stop working after September 26, 2025.
Dirk Woessner, president
This executive listing is out of date. Rogers’ current leadership page says Anne Martin-Vachon has served as President, Wireless since January 2025.
Full reasoning
The article identifies Dirk Woessner as the company's president, but Rogers' official leadership materials show that this is no longer current.
Rogers' leadership page states that Anne Martin-Vachon was appointed President, Wireless in January 2025. Rogers' 2025 Annual Information Form says the same thing and notes that she oversees the wireless business, including the Rogers, Fido and chatr brands.
So the present-tense listing of "Dirk Woessner, president" is incorrect.
