| E-mail from rogers hahaha Welcome to a whole new world of Hi-Speed living,
**************!
With Rogers Hi-Speed Internet, you can now enjoy all the web has to offer - CD quality music, smooth digital video, rich media and more - at lightening fast speeds. There's so much to do and explore - we think you'll love it!
But first, why not get started by letting your friends and family know your new Hi-Speed e-mail address? It's easy. Simply click e-mail a friend and follow the instructions.
Then, to help you get the most out of your Hi-Speed service, check out the helpful links to your right, like the Rogers Hi-Speed start page. Here's where you'll find everything you could want in news, sports, information and more - even a search engine - all on one handy page.
We'll also keep you in the loop about the latest online features and special events in our e-newsletter - it's full of good stuff!
they forgot to mention the upcoming 1/2 speed cuts and the bit caps.. and notice how they talk about the rich media... cd quality music and all that... rogers is just a corporate 2faced company that doesnt really care about their customers as long as they pay their bills... but then again what big company isnt 
they also sent me a link for a survey which is apparently a contest too
»www.rogers-survey.com/rulesregs/···502.html
in a different email which i didnt bother taking
ABOUT THE SURVEY:
The survey is comprised of short answer, yes/no, multiple select and 1-10
rating questions that typically takes about 15-20 minutes to complete.
ok i'm going to waste 15 minutes writing ur stupid survey ur smart...
once the caps kick in i'll probably switch to a good dsl isp with 3mpbs+/500kbps+ service...
this is just another post to show ppl what kind of company rogers is altho i'm pretty sure most people in this forum know already
oh and i wonder if they include a rogers ad in the let ur friends know ur new email adress... oh i think i'm gonna send my friends allover the world some spam from rogers.com
i'm sure they'll be impressed of what a good isp it is... not
edit(my reply): I do not apreciate unsolicited mail. I could care less about Life @ Hi-Speed. And don't tell me about all the rich media content. My Internet Service will have bitcaps soon which means i'll be doing alot less Surfing and viewing rich media and most of the things you mention in this e-mail. Rogers is also throtling down the speeds of the service to 1500/192 which is half the current speeds. So my life @ "Hi-Speed" will just get a little slower. A lot of people I've spoken to have already been throttled without a notice over night. I will be leaving Rogers Hi-Speed and Rogers Cable TV within the next few months depending on how soon my speeds are throttled and when the bit caps are going to be implemented.

| I have sent a few such emails to Rogers in the last week. I get the auto response that my email is in queue and will be answered within 24 hours.......but never is.
Customer service is top notch. |

Is it really necessary to to keep having to tell us customers what we "can" do with Rogers internet?
This is getting ridiculous..

Hehe, they SAY we can do ALL those things, but when we download music, video, rich streaming content, the call us ABUSERS! What's the deal with that? hehe... They are stepping on their own tongues...

If you already have one in your pc I don't think they'll give you one. That's why i took mine out before the guy came. |

how bout we trade nic's u dont need urs only for rogers anyway... i wouldnt mind it for my lan but for a 3000/38 service, soon to be 1500/192 thats a overkill... |

| reply to skillton
Yes that's true: Rogers is throttling down the speeds of the service at about half the current speeds.
I've tried during the past few days to choose different RWIN values and to test on different servers and what was unbelievable for me is that I've obtained the same values, which are around 1200/182(!). I had before values as "higher" as 2400/360.
And yes: I did not receive any announcement, unless that during this week there will be some interruptions blah, blah, blah...
You said: quote:

Could you mention some ISPs as one mentioned above?
And do you know if some ISPs (broadband) do allow a fixed IP (or client's web server)?
Thank.
May the force be with you (us)!

bob carrick has opened up »www.canadianisp.com , it's a search site for internet access providers in your area...the site is fairly new, but it is constantly receiving new updates and ratings for alternative choices for internet access. most DSL ISP's that i saw in my area are implementing bandwidth caps, but most are usually 10/10, 15/15 and 20/20..there are usually a couple of speed choices as well...usually around a 1000/128 and a 3000/600 connection.

Dear ********,
Thank you for emailing the Rogers Hi-Speed Internet Electronic Support
team. We appreciate hearing from our subscribers regarding our service.
We apologize for confusing your name with one of our other subscribers.
Regarding your degraded internet performance, please check the lights on
the modem to ensure that you always have three solid green lights. If
any of them turn off or change colour (amber or red) intermittently,
please try to power cycle (reboot) the modem. If the slowness persists,
please advise.
If you have any further questions or comments regarding our service,
please contact us by phone at 1-888-288-4663, or fill out the online

any of them turn off or change colour (amber or red) intermittently,
please try to power cycle (reboot) the modem. If the slowness persists,

| Oh god, thats hilarious... you know where the "3 lights" came from? The old LanCity or Motorola modems, I dont exactly remember which one it was. They've told me that in the past, and i laughed at them. Wankers just reading old service instructions and passing them on and confusing customers.... shows how well educated rogers staff is.
