*** Closest I've ever come to the advertised speeds recently

(I'm also in the top40 on the broadband reports test results page, looks like im semi-lucky! I would not exactly consider around 10 phone calls to rogers per month lucky, but I've demanded half-price for many months service was terrible, and I got it.

Rogers has been no good ever since they wrked on it, suposedly to make ite better, during the fall and winter. My home page takes ages to come up and I am paying for hi speed and what does rogers do. You guessed right

June 3rd, 2003, 05:01 PM

I agree!! Its same with bell sympatico

June 4th, 2003, 01:10 AM

In this case I'd wonder why if the quality of service has gone downhill so much for months without signs of improving, why don't you switch?

http://www.canadianisp.com has a list of broadband providers, theres a number of good fast providers around, rogers is like getting on your BMX and racing a porsche...

June 4th, 2003, 04:16 PM

Hahaha, I like your analogy... it's not *that bad* yet.. We'll see where it goes. I've heard news Bell might cut the bitcap stuff, but not sure yet... I've encouraged all of my close friends and family to switch from Sympatico to either THT or AEI, and I've moved about 7 or 8 people from Bell. Are they still losing customers?

So who is faster?? Bell or Cable??

July 11th, 2003, 11:54 AM

Right now Bell is as they have an Ultra package and Rogers does not.
