What a ride that was trying to get back my analogue VIP service]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21083215 Tue, 09 Sep 2008 15:53:52 EDT Re: Free 6 Month Rogers Extreme Promotion http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21078841 stern_howie : I called them today....got the upgrade for 6 months.

thanks for the info!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21078841 Mon, 08 Sep 2008 21:24:41 EDT Re: Free 6 Month Rogers Extreme Promotion http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21075254 anon : Just thought I'd let folks know to proceed with a bit of caution on this. I called in mid to late August and had my service switched from the Express to Extreme under the guise of this promotion. What the young lady at Rogers didn't tell me is that with the switch I'd lose my Better Choice Bundles discount on the internet service. This loss led to my bill actually increasing $3.00 for the month due to the switch. Free promotion? For me, not quite!

As I hadn't noticed a big difference in speed with the switch, nor do I need the greater d/l-u/l cap, I called in and switched back to Express on receiving my bill. The Rogers representative immediately adjusted the invoice when I explained the situation and that their "free" and my "free" definitions didn't jive.

I will admit it was cleared up to my satisfaction but I still think I should have been saved the aggravation of having to do so by being properly informed of the implications to my billing on calling in to switch to Extreme in the first place.

$3.00 is not a big deal, but guess it's the old "principal" thing..........(Besides which I'm as tight as a rusted nut!)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21075254 Mon, 08 Sep 2008 09:47:17 EDT Re: Free 6 Month Rogers Extreme Promotion http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21075227 anon : Well I called up CS and asked them about the promotion. The lady told me there was no such thing. But of course this is rogers, so I called again and the second time another lady told me that there INDEED was this promotion,

but of course this is rogers... then she told me it is a 1 year commitment ????

Did any of you guys sign up for a 1 year contract to get the 6 month trial ?

Or should I call a third time and maybe there wont be any 1 year commitment this time.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21075227 Mon, 08 Sep 2008 09:42:37 EDT Re: Free 6 Month Rogers Extreme Promotion http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21051183 macaroni : Woo! Thanks for telling us about this promotion. Just upgraded mine and it took effect immediately. You just saved me 100+ dollars on bandwidth and the cost of the connection. ~Bows~

If that's the case, you may want to check with Tech Support to see if there's congestion in the area that could be affecting the upstream.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21003850 Mon, 25 Aug 2008 13:06:19 EDT Re: Free 6 Month Rogers Extreme Promotion http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21003572 anon : I upgraded to this purely for the 95GB cap. When my torrents are being throttled to 400KBps, and even HTTP (that's right http) downloads are being throttled anywhere from 100KBps to 260KBps(ish), but I still get 9423kbps/510kbps on speed tests, the extra speed really doesn't matter.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21003572 Mon, 25 Aug 2008 12:13:08 EDT Re: Free 6 Month Rogers Extreme Promotion http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20986072 jackr :

Not a huge amount faster, but I'll give it a try for the next 6 months and see. I guess people are complaining about the caps. At least according to the CSR.

Thanks for the information on the upgrade D3Si]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20986072 Thu, 21 Aug 2008 16:14:47 EDT Re: Free 6 Month Rogers Extreme Promotion http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20981093 Bender_2k : True :p.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20981093 Wed, 20 Aug 2008 17:34:45 EDT Re: Free 6 Month Rogers Extreme Promotion http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20981064 KraZe :

However, it's not really a trial. It's more like signing up for Extreme and the first 6 months are at the Express price, then after 6 months you have the choice of switching back to Express or not. The CS said that there was no lock in so seems like a pretty sweet deal.
I would class that as a trial... you can go back to Express at any time, and there's no raise in price to have the Extreme... You get all the extra stuff with no increase of cost, and no committment beyond what you already have.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20981064 Wed, 20 Aug 2008 17:27:30 EDT Re: Free 6 Month Rogers Extreme Promotion http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20980989 Bender_2k : Called them up and it took all of a few minutes to get them to do the switch.

Hitting about 9 Mbps now :D, happy days and the cap was raised to 95 GB on my account page. I think this is one of those times where Rogers did everything properly from the get go.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20980989 Wed, 20 Aug 2008 17:09:19 EDT Re: Free 6 Month Rogers Extreme Promotion http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20975006 TubbyPoutine : Thanks for this. I just called and upgraded my Express to Extreme. 6 months for same price as Express. Sweet. Also, it took effect immediately.

I'm noticing serious slowdowns in my service.

Whatever I was on before, it was faster, youtube videos loaded faster, now it's sooo slow!
