No 128k down/64k up is a great replacement for dialup at 20 bucks a month. 64/64 is perfect at 10 dollars a month. Rogers is just trying to pull a scam.
It is still great replacement considering you get significantly more upstream, a tad more downstream, lower latency and always on connection.
Typically with a 56kbps modem, regulatory bodies only allow speeds up to 53kbps. Even that is very very rare. Typically you get somewhere around 40-48kbps. 64kbps will be about 25% more in reality.
On the upstream the connection is usually around 24-28kbps (128-166% more).
Remember there are also savings from dial-up connection charges or if there was second line, it is totally eliminated.
So, for a dial-up user with a second line switching to 64/64 always on connection might even save some money.... |
