Nice cap and speeds. See what competition from Bell Aliant's FTTH does...! |

Did anyone on the 32/7 extreme plus speeds get an upgrade to 45/7 yet? |

| reply to Aaerox
I really don't get the point of increasing speeds if you don't increase caps...probably should move to bell, better download speeds, way better upload speeds, no p2p throttling, and bigger caps. All for 10 bucks more =/ |

Yup that's been my argument for a year. All Rogers plans are overpriced and outdated. Lite is particularly pathetic because you can't even Skype properly with 256kbps anymore. |

said by bt:They've also listed a new tier: "Ultimate Fibre". 250Mbps symmetrical, with a 500GB cap. When you click it they make you fill out a ridiculous CAPTCHA. Rogers fiber is years behind Shaw and 4x slower (Shaw is doing 1/1Gbps), not available where I live in downtown Toronto (what else is new?), cap is too low and they made no pricing info available. Even if it was available, what's with the 500GB cap? Pass. |

I took a closer look at what Rogers injected into my browser last week, and it seems that my Extreme plan is only getting a "SpeedBoost" upgrade. Better than nothing, I guess, but nothing special.

Good question! Yes, I have a vintage 2004 SB5100 SURFboard modem, DOCSIS 2 only. If I want more than simple speed boost, I guess I'll have to shell out for a DOCSIS 3 modem.

kudos:1 | 4mbps is the regular tier available to everyone. Those who live in areas that are compatible with higher upstream tiers and have those product codes on their account will get 7mbps with extreme plus. |

there isn't pricing info because it is free (though what happens if you go over?) |

My area (Alta Vista and Industrial in Ottawa) must be congested or going through a change. I am able to get close to the new 4mbit profile, but my download profile is swinging wildly between 20 and 32mbits. |

said by fspilot:I'm on Extreme Plus with the 32Mbps download and 7Mbps upload speeds. I called Rogers to see if my upload speeds would be lowered to 4Mbps with the new 45Mbps download speed on Dec 1st. The CSR indicated to me that my speeds won't be changing to the new download/upload speeds. I will be keeping the current speeds as a 'grandfathered' package. If I want to take advantage of the new 45Mbps download speeds I would be then lowered to the 4Mbps upload speed.
Or not... Called tonight, and asked about the "HU" code, and was told it was available where I'm moving, and that I can get the boost from 4mbps to 7mbps if I asked for it, for free. Definitely not being grandfathered.

Just called rogers to see if I could get my 75/2 plan updated to 75/10 and was told Kitchener/Waterloo wasn't scheduled to get these upgrades? Is that correct and I'm stuck with 2 up? I guess I'll have to wait til dec 1st... |
