Re: From todays Toronto Star
Good one jackr.
{edited for content}
Back to the subject Consumers can not do anything regarding rogers. At present they have all the cards. I checked now for Bell now only 256K is available in North York Area. I don't use newsgroup and my bandwidth hardly exceeds 10GB per month. So For now Go Rogers.
This forum is not Rogers forum but just a bitching forum. Actually this rants should be put under another sub-category.
As for Canadians they can just send letters and bitch in this forum. |

Basically, this article makes me sick. "Old technology"...Geee, the telephone is pretty old technology, maybe we'd better throw that out too...or how about email..that's pretty old. And replace it with a "blog"...give me a break. Blogs (IMHO) are garbage, and a complete waste of time reading or writing. BLOGS stands for BIG LOAD OF GUPPIE SHIT.
I've voiced my displeasure with Rogers over this issue. I use a few "legit" groups, like nb.forsale. Stuff for sale in New Brunswick. Does that make me a child porn freak because I like using that newsgroup and this old technology? NOT!! Next they'll give you two tin cans and a piece of string to put in between to use for data transfer, and they'll still want payment every month. I'm keeping my eyes open for a better deal with another ISP. It's not just the news groups, it's a collection of things that have happened over the last while, yahoo mail, then no rogers news server, then a cap...well..you get the idea.
GREEDY BASTARDS is what they are!
End Of Rant. |

I've already said I'm not unhappy with my Rogers service. I don't use NNTP.
Regarding what I would do. I've already said that also. If I was mad enough, I wouldn't waste my time bitching to a bunch of strangers. What's the point. I don't consider anyone reading this my priest, lover, friend, or anyone else I'd complain to.
I'd call several lawyers, ones who specialize in media arbitration or civilian law obviously..and I'd ask their opinion. I'd ask if they thought that Rogers was breaking the spirit of the EULA...and ask what they think I should do. First...I'd be prepared to ask if they charge for a free consolation..
The rest is up to you..but bitching about it over and over and over gets you no where.
And sorry if I offend in my opinion of milk toast Canadians. |

Re: From todays Toronto Star
said by will98 :
Gupta said less than 3 per cent of subscribers; or under 30,000; are Usenet users. She confirmed that part of the reason Rogers is discontinuing the service is because of its rampant use by traders of child porn. People, people... Instead of jumping to conclusions, maybe you should re-read the article. Here are some key topics that jump out to me, an average reader:
- '...Less than 3 percent...'
- '...Part of the reason...' (key word being 'part')
- '...traders of child porn.'
If you're part of the less than 3 percent, and a rampant trader of child porn, then you can by all means get angry and upset at the accusation.
Otherwise, read and understand that YOU SPECIFICALLY aren't being associated with child porn.
This is starting to get laughable now... |
