Re: [ Express] Speed Increases?
I wonder if they've done anything for Rogers Business. I've got 8/1 at work, i'll reboot the modem tomorrow at work and see.

Shediac, NB | Guess I'll have to call on Monday to see when NB gets the speed increase or will I be paying for Extreme and getting less than express. |

Yeah... they should at least freaking notify customers of power cycling. Assholes lol 
On a brighter note, I just did it and am happy

Well I'm glad I could give you guys a heads up. A lot of people may be pissed at Rogers lately over the throttling issues, but a speed increase is always nice.
It'll suck if they're only testing things out, though, and it reverts in a few days. Heh. |

| Nah, if anything they test it out on the inside first before releasing the updated profiles to the public. This should be staying  .
Too bad torrents will NEVER be at this speed for us

London, ON | Unplug your modem's power source for a couple minutes, maybe five, then plug it back in.
Voila. |

Hmm, i'm only maxing out at 869KB/s on Usenet with this new connection (extreme)
Edit: is anyone having any HORRIBLE DNS problems after switching?
I power cycled my modem to get the new speed, but now only a few sites are working. Most don't work at all. |
