| God Awful! God awful Rogers! I'm so ready to switch to Bell. I've read in other forums that whenever somebody called in to complain they claim that it's the user's configuration, and that they never heard of the problem. Every single person that posted their convo with Rogers were almost alike! All of them denying that it's b/c they're blocking off ports or packets.
Honestly tho, I do believe they are blocking off ports. I was using the Burst Client on port 6881-6889. Standard BT ports, worked awesome until December hit. All download died. My router would struggle with UPnP to find a decent port to draw a connect but ended up crashing the router and ultimately having to reboot it every half hour or so.
In early January, I switched to uTorrent using port 1720-1729, and it worked wonders! Dramatic increase of speeds! Now a couple of days ago I noticed that downloads are back down to 3-5 kb/s, and I thought to myself again, that God damn awful Rogers! I've tried randomizing ports, but it doesn't seem to be able to connect as well as 1720 used to. I even tried port 1755, which many said worked for them. But right now nothing seems to be working. I don't know, maybe it is time to switch over to Bell. God damn awful Rogers. Rot in HELL MF-er! |

| When my friend first suggested 1720 it was AMAZING...the speed just jumped to 200kb/s+ the next day it was back down to 2-5kb/s ARGH!~
I am SOOO changing this fukin service provider of Rogers...This stupid cap is killing me and i'm sure many will follow and change services. They better remove this cap SOON or they going to lose MANY customers. |

| If your a rogers valued customer (have 3 or more services with rogers) they dont really care about the bandwidth cap.. ive gone over to like 150gb each month ive yet to get anything from rogers. and on Bell you dont go very fast btw especially if you live in the downtown area, better off their rogers personally |

| Yeah I'm a rogers valued customer too. And I don't doubt that they may not be capping ur service, or haven't gotten around to it. But I can't even hit the 60GB mark cause they're restricting packets or ports. I can't download a file with out my router crashing b/c of the low speed. I switched my ports to 30000 and when I did, I was downloading at around 500kb/s again. However, the port was useless the next day. So it really doesn't matter if you're a valued customer, I can't even get to 10GB a month if I can't even download anything.
