Testing your Rogers connection
Rogers, which now sells its home internet under the Rogers Xfinity name and absorbed Shaw in Western Canada, mostly uses a cable (DOCSIS 3.1) network. Download speeds reach 1.5 to 2.5 Gbps on top tiers, but the upload is far lower on most plans. In parts of Atlantic Canada and on newer fibre builds, some tiers are symmetrical.
This test detects your provider automatically and measures download, upload, ping, jitter and latency under load against the nearest server on Cloudflare's network. Enter your plan speed under the result to see the percentage you really get.
Rogers speeds by plan
| Plan | Download | Upload |
|---|---|---|
| 500 Mbps tier | 500 Mbps | about 20 Mbps |
| 1 Gbps tier | 1,000 Mbps | about 30 to 50 Mbps |
| 1.5 Gbps tier | 1,500 Mbps | about 50 Mbps |
| 2 to 3 Gbps tiers (select areas) | 2,000 to 3,000 Mbps | 100 Mbps to symmetrical on fibre |
Upload speeds differ by province and network; your service agreement lists your exact speeds. Checked on 31 October 2026; tiers change and vary by address, so confirm on the Rogers website.
What result should you expect?
On a 1.5 Gbps plan, a computer with a gigabit port will show about 940 Mbps; a 2.5 Gbps port is needed to see more. An upload around 50 Mbps is normal on Rogers cable, not a fault.

Common reasons for slow Rogers speeds
- Small upload: calls freeze when someone uploads. Run the bufferbloat test.
- Gigabit port on a multi-gig plan: see Ethernet cable categories.
- Evening congestion on the cable node: see internet slow in the evening.
- Wi-Fi gateway placement: compare with the Wi-Fi speed test.
Before contacting Rogers support
- Restart the gateway from the Rogers app or by unplugging it.
- Run three wired tests at different hours.
- Check the Rogers outage page before calling.
- If speeds stay below your plan, check for traffic throttling, then contact support with your saved results.

Frequently asked questions
Why is my Rogers upload so slow?
Rogers mainly uses cable, where most of the capacity goes to download. Uploads of 20 to 50 Mbps are typical on cable tiers; only fibre-fed tiers are symmetrical.
Is Rogers Xfinity the same as Comcast Xfinity?
Rogers licenses Comcast's Xfinity platform for its equipment and TV service, but the network and the plans in Canada are Rogers'.
Why does my 1.5 Gbps plan test at 940 Mbps?
That is the limit of a gigabit Ethernet port. A 2.5 Gbps network card and port are needed to measure more.
