why would you want to get rid of a reliable fast service, for a service than MAY be potentially faster, but constantly riddled with outages and fluctuating performance.

You're reading this forum and you're still considering Rogers? Just b/c they have new modems? Well, whatever turns your crank I guess.

my rogers service never had connection problems... i never really lagged or got any packet loss... i just left rogers cuz the pings were high and the uploads were slow most times... my pings were like 70ms to the 1st hop @ peak hours... but with the docsis modem thats all fixed... for now at least... if rogers goes bad again i'm gonna get some other dsl isp... plus i want some digital cable too

He meant Rogers Digital Cable is a farce. You get a few channels broadcast in digital format and you pay a very premium price. When you compare it to Bell ExpressVu which gives you digital on every channel, and is less expensive than cable with more channels, Rogers Digital Cable is a joke.
