| [ Extreme] Port Throttling? Just switched back to Rogers after a year with Teksavvy (was forced to since I moved apartment and new condo has an exclusive contract w/ Rogers).
Does Rogers still do port throttling? I noticed my BT is very slow. And does VPN still work for it, or is there a new flavour of the month work-around? | |

| Re: [ Extreme] Port Throttling? Yes, VPN still works. I use it for some anonymity and accessing slow encrypted sites (paypal, etc). BT? Probably throttled because anything encrypted appears to be targeted. Welcome back to Rogers  | |

clubs: | Exclusive contract with Rogers? Maybe for TV, but also for telephone? There is no copper phone lines in the building?

So frustrating.. I'd rather pay more money for the same service, to anyone besides Rogers. | |

Toronto, ON | Was the bit about Rogers having an exclusive contract with Rogers mentioned in any of the documentation that you signed when you moved in??? | |

1 edit | That's why many condo buildings have "rule books" that are inches-thick. It is legal as it has been decided by the residents themselves, through a board of directors, by election. So if you don't like it, you should come out and run for a director. You can then vote against it. So yes, it is "the residents" themselves that have signed the contract.
It's the same thing for "no satellite" allowed.
I hate condo specifically for that lack of "freedom". | |
