Rogers angelic? you've got to be kidding. it's very unstable. you'll notice atleased 1 screw up at rogers a day. that's not good enough. try sending a file on ICQ. it'll stop 4 times then you'll get it right finally. it's pathetic.

Canada doesn't have good broadband. Bell has it's DSL with 128kilobit uploads and rogers is 128kilobit downloads if it feels like it. it's no fun.

you guys have cool stuff like DSDN. 100megabit access. i want some of that! i'm on bell and barely get over a megabit... which is considered to be in the top 1% of bell subscribers.

Candian broadband isn't fun or much, if any better than the USs. you wanna see real broadband? go to the Netherlands or other european places. 1Megabit is what the people on welfare have.
Speak for yourself, my man. I haven't had any outages with Rogers in more than 6 months, and even then, it was once for about an hour. My connection is consistently quick and stable. Sorry for your troubles. Your experiences don't serve as a statistically significant population from which to make conclusions about the rest of Rogers' service.

That's all relative. Relative to the chaos that I read about in the US, Rogers is angelic. They've had their problems, for sure, but the majority of people are satisfied. There's a vocal minority who are not, and a media bias against them because they're big business and due to a negative option billing fiasco on the cable TV side of things in 1996.
