| Rogers...oh boy. Just hope your in a good area with no heavy downloaders. My first high speed experience was with Bell...at the time, they were offering 30 faster then dial-up (28.8 modem) and I did get the speeds advertised, not any slower, not any faster. Then I moved to a different part of Kitchener, with a new number. All my neighbour could get DSL but not me, so I did Rogers for 2 years. Not once during that time did I come withing 50% of the advertised speed, and I was lucky when I got over 20% of advertised speed...not to mention about 50 outages during that time. Finally, Bell updated their database and I could get DSL. During this time, I've always, and I mean always, got their advertised speed, with no outages. Well, the only complaint I have with them is when the 'claimed' to have doubled the speed of their service. Everyone knows they didn't. People went from 1500 to 2500, (a 3008 sync). However, their previous sync was actually 1700, not 1500. That's my only beef with them.
Anyway, good luck with Rogers. If I could get good speeds in the neighbourhood, I'd probably still be with them, if not for the weekly outages.
