Re: [Extreme Plus] New Speeds Effective December 1st said by elitefx:Customers must be leaving Rogers by the thousands. Since when do they ever officially announce a speed increase a month ahead of schedule?
How much do you want to bet the TPIAs will offer new faster/cheaper packages that will make Rogers look like they're giving you nothing?
Actually, this announcement was a stupid move on Rogers part. They've just given the competition 30 days notice to double/triple their best deals on tiers and prices.
Rule #1: Never let the competition know your plans in advance......
70% off Internet... Why would they leave Rogers? It'd be significantly cheaper than any TPIA offering. |

By being with Not-Rogers for all 3 services, I'm saving twice what that discount on Internet only would have been for the equivalent products. The difference would obviously be larger for someone that doesn't have all 3 services. |

Hope this means TSI will be able to offer the increased upstream speeds. 1 meg is getting old. |

It's actually 70% off for Internet with 1 more Rogers service. Could be either Home Phone or TV (any package) |

I received a similar message this morning for my Extreme speed-boost. I was surprised to see this injected message as I do not use the Rogers DNS servers.

I'd like to hear something about this too... Would convince me to stick around! |

Anyone know if these speed increases as of December 1st are just for GTA residents (and perhaps Ottawa, etc) or if they are for all regions? I live in Barrie... currently on Express 300GB service and just locked in 10 minutes ago for 2 years @ 80% off internet... I'm really hoping I'll get bumped from 0.5mbit to 2mbit uploads (while still keeping my 300GB limit)  If not then I'll call in December and bump up to Extreme Plus for 4mbit upload and will live with the 150GB limit *sniff*. |

I wouldn't say it's getting old. I would say it's a rotting corpse that was beaten by a drunk man with a shovel then pissed on by children poking it with a stick. |

I hope these new speed tiers do NOT include the upstream speed bumps due to the rolling out of upstream channel bonding otherwise the upstream speeds for some of the lower tiers are pretty weak. |

Do I need to say this every time? It's not because your files download faster that you'll necessarily download more. Or if most of your usage is streaming like Netflix, the added speed won't make the movies play faster, letting you watch more.
(Not defending the low caps, far from it - I'm moving to a third-party provider this month - but the whole faster speeds mean you reach your cap faster thing is not true for most people). |

I guess that means a price increase will happen in the near future? |

kudos:1 | Yea, this is just a new spin on Rogers reverse billing that was declared illegal, so many years ago, when Rogers upgraded everyones TV package and we had to call in and cancel or higher fees would take effect without our consent.
You just know, come spring, that Rogers will slam us hard for all these so called new upgrades.
Laughable really, NOT......... |
