Enhanced Entertainment Experience

“Our partnership with Comcast builds on our legacy of bringing Canadians the best networks, entertainment, and services in the world,” said Tony Staffieri, President, and CEO of Rogers Communications. “Canadians want to be connected to the best entertainment, anywhere, without interruption, and we’re proud to partner with Comcast to make this a reality.”

Comcast offers a suite of connectivity and platform products to millions of customers worldwide, including the United States under its Xfinity brand. Rogers stated that as part of the agreement, the latest broadband, smart home, and connectivity products available to Xfinity customers will be coming to Canada, starting later this year.

“This platform will make it easy and simple for Rogers customers to connect to what they love with a seamless experience, whether on the big screen in their home or their smartphone on the go,” added Staffieri.

Rogers reported that the average Canadian subscribes to nearly twice as many streaming apps as they did five years ago, and broadband data usage at Rogers has grown 200 percent in the same period. The company also said its study found that accessing all streaming apps on one platform is the most appealing TV feature.
