Re: Rogers Usage
Yeah it would be great if they told us how they were billing us. Gas meters, water meters and hydrometers all have to be certified… and if your hydro usage all of a sudden jumps 10 fold you can challenge it and the meter can be tested for accuracy. How do you do that with rogers when they won’t even tell you how they are measuring it, and what hardware’s being used. The measuring equipment at work is certified and inspected to comply with the Weights and Measures Act and I know gas pumps are too.. so why not bandwidth meters? Considering how inaccurate they are.. and how rogers still plans on using the broken system. |

His problem is Rogers billing him ... That's the significant one!
More to the point, it's my understanding that billing is done by assigned IP which makes modem cloning moot.
Don't ya wish that Rogers would tell us how this stuff is supposed to work instead of us just guessing? |

I agree, but maybe they can't detect it.
He's got nothing to lose. Swap out the modem and see if that fixes his problem.

As much as you might say modem cloning, I don't believe it is ... Far more likely is problems in the bandwidth detection.
Rogers should be more than able to detect modem cloning. |

I'll put it out there,,,
modem cloning?
elec999,
Ask Rogers to swap out your modem or go do it yourself. Exchange it for another modem and see if the usage comes back in line. If you go this route, please let us know what happens.

at the moment you only need to worry if you're on Extreme Plus.
If you get billed and you're absolutely sure it's wrong, raise hell! |

All this info is scaring me, because honestly I do not download 100gb per month. But the meter is running.
