Rogers launching LTE in Ottawa this summer
Posted via Canadian Content

Rogers Wireless has promised to launch their new fourth-generation, LTE wireless services in Ottawa sometime in the summer making Canada's capital city the first one in the country to experience the lightning fast speeds of a real 4G wireless network.

The new LTE service will be made available on one device to start with called the LTE Rocket stick. It's the first one available in Canada compatible with the new network speeds, making HSPA+ a thing of the past.

Unfortunately in the beginning, mobile phones themselves will not be offered by Rogers but might come later on in the year while Rogers plans to continue the building of LTE network across major markets like Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal throughout and after the summer.

Thanks, but no thanks, I made the mistake ONCE of doing business with Rogers. they once provided my cell service, my cable TV service, and my internet, but after I was screwed over by them and saught to rectify the problem, they were only willing to fix the problem after I cancelled all of my services. why do they have to screw over their older customers and only treat their new customers with any type of respect. I could care less if they were offering free service for life, I want nothing to do with this disreputable corporation.

I'll give you a hint as to what they did to piss me off. They sold me a cell phone that would not hold a charge. They replaced it and then had the nerve to charge me for the replacement phone.

LTE is pretty amazing technology, but, they give you such small data caps that having a 21 Mbps connection is all but useless.
