Installation at the new house went fine. They set it up quickly and were on time.
Performance wise I do most of the time get the full 7 Mbps so can't complain there, but the fact that it's capped at 60 GB and throttled P2P makes it rather useless if you want to download anything (legal or otherwise). Add to that they will charge you up to a max of $25 in overages if you go over the limit and you've got a pretty poor excuse for an ISP considering the content available on the Internet now a days.
Get TekSavvy and don't look back at Rogers...

| Good ISP should keep transparent to their customer Now it seems Rogers is making a colorful glass ceiling to their customer. I found the way they deploy is very straightforward by limit the sessions one subscriber can set up simultaneously and at the same time limit the traffic of connections set up to those TCP ports they take as P2P.
So an adjustment to this error is even simpler. Configure your P2P client to listen on those famous service TCP ports such as 80, 21, 20, 53, 25 etc and that is really worked. However, when your P2P client listen to these ports, please make sure that there is no other application will listen to the same port. Anyway, as no platform will provide all the famous services simultaneously, so to find an unoccupied port is very easy.
Hope Rogers can realize their mistake and take the right way. | |
