Long story short. If you get a subsidized phone from Rogers you will still have to pay if you cancel early. If you're using your own phone you and you want to cancel you only pay the $12.50 admin fee.
Not much difference really. Most users will get a subsidized phone if they sign a contract.

I have a really good plan I negotiated about 1.5 years ago and I'm wondering what does Rogers Retentions do with those "killer" plans (I have voice and data=$30 all in. Will they at least match the plan if I want to keep renewing it or am I looking at price jump?

Guess I'll be looking at another provider when my contract is up if it jumps close to double what I'm paying now.

Not much difference really. Most users will get a subsidized phone if they sign a contract. | Basically they want to add another bs $12.50 on top of what your fee is for cancelling contract...?

From what I heard, it's high speed data on your mobile devices that is even faster than what broadband carriers can provide on their home internet network.

| LTE (telecommunication) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Essentially, figure LTE speeds are capable of a theoretical 100Mbit/s downstream, 50Mbit/s upstream. Realistically, you're more likely to see ~30-40Mbit/s downstream, 15-20Mbit/s upstream.
3G/HSPA+ networks, most of them in civic areas will give you speeds of ~5-10Mbit/s downstream, .5-1Mbit/s upstream.

LTE is mobile broadband which can be considered 4G.

Early Upgrade Fee + Administration Fee(or was it called Activation Fee) + Phone Price + taxes
Your case it sounds like: $39 + $35 + $199 + taxes
I am unsure what the Reservation Fee is because I've never preordered/reserved a phone before.
Or call retentions? I was able to waive my Early Upgrade Fee as well as the Activation Fee.

So after fifteen mins of waiting and another ten mins talking the retention department asking about cancelling my contract and porting my number to wind. Keep in mind I still have two more years to go in my three year contract, the rep then said I'd have to pay $500 to cancel.   | |

Of course they're going to charge you an ECF with 2 years left on your contract.
