| Rogers New Ultimate Package Hey guys i just heard that the new Ultimate package is 150 Mbits Download!!, also the upload will be 10 Mbits, not updated in Rogers.com but im thinking its not going to cost $99 anymore, seems like only some area are capable of receiving these speeds. Hopefully my area is ready! |

| 250GB limit at 75Mbps means you reach your cap at full speeds in approximately 7 and a half hours.
So now you can do that in under 4 hours. Yay? |

Could you provide a little more info? Where did you hear this and anything else? |

So let's say, for the sake of argument, that the new price is $125 plus the $100 for overage = $225 + $29.25 HST = $254.25 per month for Internet?? ARE PEOPLE FRIGGIN' NUTS!!!!! |

I'm definitely been benchmarking faster lately (90mbit+) in Kanata
Maybe there's hope |

Ridiculously low caps aside, I still don't get why people keep saying stuff like "at this speed you'll reach your cap in so much time". That makes no sense unless, I don't know, you download torrents 24/7 at full speed, which is kind of unlikely for most, if not all users. |

It's definitely true and is only available in certain areas. Just like the higher upstream, your account must have a "105 mbps downstream available" tag for you to receive it. Not sure if there is any price difference. Between the 105 and the current ultimate tier. Seems kind of frivolous to me. Very few people need such fast download speeds and Bell can't even come close to matching their current downstream tiers. What Rogers really needs to focus on is increasing the upstream on their current tiers. Bell offers 10 up on their Express competitive offering while Rogers only offers 2 up. |

1 edit | I found this out yesterday. I had called to see if my area is capable of 10Mbps uploads, was told it is, and was told I should expect (up to) 150Mbps downloads as part of the new package. Same price as the old Ultimate. |

That is incorrect. Just double checked with my sources. There is a package that is literally called "New Ultimate" and will offer those speeds but it will be $122 a month. The current ultimate package with 75mbps will remain as is until further notice. |

I asked them more than a couple of times if the cost would change, and was assured it would not. If they try to increase my monthly charge, I will have more than a few things to say to them. |

Somebody actually thinking a Rogers CSR would lie on the phone about customer billing. Unbelieveable. If you can't trust the Saints at Rogers, well........we all know Rogers isn't in it for the money. They just love making customers happy......  |

Your monthly charges will not increase, your download speeds will remain at 75mbps. 105mbps is offered through a new tier called "new ultimate", will likely change to a different name when it is more widely available. The current ultimate tier remains unchanged. |

Also is it 105 Mbit/s or 150 Mbit/s? |

In all seriousness, I have never understood why Rogers packages are not say, 20/20, 30/30/, 50/50 etc. And why is there only a 4mbps difference between Extreme and Extreme Plus. When you step back and look at things, it's way out of sync. As far as the "new" Ultimate goes, 150/10 is so far out of whack it doesn't make sense. 150/75 would be reasonable for that kind of cash. Most folks these days spend half their time uploading.
And with bandwidth costing Rogers next to nothing these days (forum news) why not return to Unlimited status? I mean, if Rogers can give away $700 IPads, $400 XBoxes etc. Surely they're not making that big of a buck on Overage charges. As it stands now, it's just nickel and diming the customer. |

lmao i love comments like these. It's shit like this that make every internet user a target for piracy as if we all download 24\7 day and night.
My wife has Ultimate setup for work, but of course i use it for downloading, netflix etc. Though the cap could be better, i don't download day and night.
Point in speeds like that is like last night when i wanted something on our 75 meg line that runs at 101 easy we downloaded it in 2 minutes and were able enjoy our night. For our household we do hit the 250 gig cap each month with about 3-4 gigs to spare.
Though we should be offered UNLIMITED in Canada and join the times, speeds don't HAVE to match caps. |

Cable is upstream constrained. The frequency split on HFC networks is such that upstream resources are limited. That's why you don't see 20/20, 30/30 and 50/50...
