Re: Rogers to offer 50 megabit service for $149.99 posted this in a thread over in the Teksavvy area but thought I would post it here as well. This is a c/p from digital home from rRep

Hi all,
No prices.
Extreme Plus:
Download: 25 Mbps
Upload: 1 Mbps
Data Transfer: 125 GB per month
An "Enhanced Home Networking Gateway (Wireless N)" is required for this service. The existing "cap" for overages will still apply @ $25, no word yet on the per GB charge.
The rollout date for this is August 17, 2009 in the GTA. Subject to change, of course!! Other areas will continue to be rolled-out throughout 2010.

Ultimate Tier:
Download: 50 Mbps
Upload: 2 Mbps
Data Transfer: 175 GB per month
Customers are required to have Digital Equipment (Meaning Digital Cable), and the Wireless N modem is required as well. August 17, 2009 is the rollout date. Subject to change, as always .. other areas to follow throughout 2010.

NOTE: THIS IS ALL SUBJECT TO CHANGE AT ANY TIME. I post this as a user on this forum, and this should not be considered "official" word by Rogers until it's announced publicly.. but I figured you all would enjoy it. If you're wondering if your area is included with the DOCSIS3 rollout, lemme know the first 3 of your post code.

| fantastic - thanks for sharing that. looking forward to giving it a whirl..
any idea why it would need the wireless n modem? I have my own wireless gear, so not looking to get a new wireless n device - but happy to swap out to a different modem if they need me to... |

kudos:5 | It's a modem/router combo. I guess with the popularity of networking they decided to provide it as a combo instead of standalone. |

Any news about the Extreme speed? Is it going to be bumped after DOCSIS3.0 is in place? |
