| I wonder if Canadian ISP are investing all this money in upgrading their infrastructure simply to say "we were first" or "we are the fastest" just for an academic debate?
In practicality, nobody in their right mind is gonna pay the insane prices ISP are asking for 20,30 and 50mbit premium speeds. Paying 150$ for 50mbit with Videotron for example (with a RIDICULOUS 100GB cap) is insanity... what's the point?
Bravo Rogers, now invest in customer service! |

2 major reasons
1. All the telco based Canadian wireless carriers (Bell Mobility, Teluls, MTS, Sasktel, etc.) are ALL going from CDMA 2000 (1x/EVDO) to HSPA+ this month. Rogers has to keep up, or disappear.
2. The Olympics are coming to Canada this winter. Bell/Telus are deploying HSPA+ primarily to cash in on roaming revenue (and they are hitting EOL for CDMA 2000 product line). Rogers will have GSM+HSPA+, and attempt to obtain as much roaming revenue as possible for both voice+data.
