Sneaky trick to fool rogers techs

It has to be available in your area, and it is not always the solution.

They told me it is available here... They sent some ticked to the network engineers to try to see if there isnt a problem on the street, that'll take a few days... If things dont improve they said to call back... hehe... I figured since they jacked up prices for the modem rental, I deserve a new modem after 4 years!

Its not the modem guys! 90% of the modems that get returned are fine. Most of the time its either a line issue or a headend issue.

I know, but i just want a new modem.... DOCSIS pings better than the old Terayons... Rogers is screwin' me, so I might as well screw them back!

~sigh~

And people wonder why techs give them such a hard time when they call in and why prices go up...not saying that this is the only reason but it's definitely a factor.

But it costs money to roll a truck to your house to swap the modem, it costs them money to have the modem tested, repacked and shipped. All these things add to the cost of providing service.

reply to HiVolt
It costs us money to pay for the service, and if you can get better service by getting a different modem, I say go for it, so neeloy, think about it, rogers screws everyone over, why cant we ever get what we want out of it. Go for it.

In the game of Broadband, you always loose when you go the Rogers route.I'm not Canadian :P

Hehe... I'm sorry if i sound like an asshole, but my Rogers cablemodem sux, my Rogers cable services sux, and my Cabletv from rogers also sux, too many fuzzy channels, and i'm just a little upset with this bloody monopoly. I cant get DSL, so its either these monkeys or dialup....

My friend who had a shitty Motorola for the last 5 years just called 'n got a DOCSIS right away.... Maybe cuz he complained about bad pings for years 'n never had it fixed, dunno

they probly replaced it cuz they changed to DOCSIS... other wise, they wouldnt

Just wondering, what makes everyone here so sure that DOCSIS modem's get better "ping"?

Well I used to get 5ms pings to my first hop with Shaw, on the Terayon. But thats long ago. I think the Terayon system is not as good when the segment has a lot of people using bandwidth, where as DOCSIS is more efficient at giving better service in a populated area.

Below is the ping time to my gateway with a 4-5yr old Lancity modem. Why would I want a different modem? I've moved 3 times since I first got cable, and have refused to return this modem for a new one every time.
