| yeah well so you think ... after switching from a lackluster dsl service from bell to rogers i have since been unable to use p2p apps at all. mind you i can connect to said p2p servers and chat as such but downloading and uploading is impossible. i have been able to only get one user to connect to me so far and at a blistering 5kbits/sec yeah bits not bytes. prior to having the rogers extreme 10meg down 1 meg upload service installed i was able to upload to the same user at 70kbytes a sec. the dsl service was an advertised 6 meg down 680k up. but being that the phone lines it was running on are circa 1970's i could only muster a 4meg download.
after calling to complain to rogers the first time i was directed by the rogers CSR to contact Microsoft for a solution. although i fail to see what Microsoft Canada is going to do about internet shaping...
after the second call i got a case number and a hollow " we'll look into this"
the third call netted me a "we don't support p2p apps" and was abruptly directed off the phone.
the fourth call after directly asking to speak to a tier 2 tech got me bold faced lies "we don't shape our p2p transfers" i asked for the supervisor... ten minutes passed and i got a rather defensive man named Ian CSR rep #E492. Ian informed me after i had directed him to this and many other forums with thousands of posts indicating their dislike for the new rogers internet. after nearly 40 mins on the phone with ian i recieved little resolution aside from wanting a different isp.
things i forgot to enter in this post....
- installer disconnected my dedicated DSL line ( still have half a months service paid for) i mean he pulled the bell wires out of the distribution block [this has NOTHING to do with rogers services]
- rogers claimed today that i have downloaded 75% of my allotted 95GB for the month (including today i have had the service for 9 days hard to imagine transferring 85+ GB with the inability to connect to anyone)
- and what takes the cake for me .. Ian " I'm sorry i don't know how these p2p aps connect or work" coming from a tier 2 technical supervisor for rogers internet services. perhaps he should look into another field of work ??
day 11 still no fix'x |

Carleton Place, ON | I dont know why some Rogers users have problems using P2P apps. Must be user error. I use bit torrent all the time with blazing fast download speeds. What P2P app are you trying to use?

Why don't you create your own review rather than posting your rant in another positive reviewer's discussion topic? It absolutely makes no sense. |
