<title>[ TV] Rogers STB remote lag/pause...SDV?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23287049</link>
<description><![CDATA[For quite some time now, both my Rogers' STBs (SA3200, SA940) have suffered from intermittent remote lag and pausing.   There seems to be no discernible pattern to when it occurs and for how long.  I thought it might be due to signal levels, but I did some tuning and they're quite good.

Is this due to SDV?  I have never seen a "SDV - Tuning" box. 

In another forum, somebody posted:

 "They all have lag since last November. The box receives a stop command from Rogers and it buffers your remote input which causes the box to sit still, then execute the buffered commands."

If this is the case, why did Rogers do this?  And how do I stop it?]]></description>

<title>phone and internet</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23317299</link>
<description><![CDATA[I am having problems with Bell fixing my phone line, so I may have to switch back to Rogers. I am looking at the extreme package, what is the absolute monthly usage allowed. I have heard they may drop you if you hit 300 gigs.

As for as Rogers home phone goes, does Rogers use the cable lines?

Thanks for any input.]]></description>

<title>SMTP relay problem</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23073692</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hi, I've got a problem, the rogers SMTP Server is requiring a username/pwd combo when sending emai, and i can't close the dialog. i've had to signup for SMTP Service http://www.smtp.com and it's solved the problem and works just fine but i feel it's unfair that i should resort to an outside SMTP service because of this problem, even if it doesn't cost much... rogers, get to work! any ideas/tips?]]></description>

<title>Lots of problems lately?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23312911</link>
<description><![CDATA[Although I should note that I'm seeing most of them late-night. Last light my router recorded approximately 12 outages in a 2 hour span, ranging from 2 second to over a minute. The modem never lost sync, this was further down the chain.

Tonight, on the other hand, there seems to be a lot of backbone/connectivity issues - large numbers of sites stop loading for 5-10 minutes, or load extremely slow. No full outages, but it's made browsing for the last hour a painful experience. I've switched to DSL just to post this (outages apparantly aren't affecting what my router monitors for uptime).]]></description>

<title>CATV quality question</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23300680</link>
<description><![CDATA[Before I get Rogers (if need be) to get me the latest standard, I have 2 cables left over I could use for a hdtv I'm testing. 

wire 1: CATV20 AWG
wire 2: CATV CSA LL82959

Would there be a noticeable loss in picture quality using any of these wires? Should I not even bother calibrating the tv using these cables or is the new standard just more of a longer lasting, better insulation etc.... deal?

What is the proper code (CATV....) of today's cables anyways?]]></description>

<title>[ Extreme] Problems with Connection, SMC Gateway/Router</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23312943</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hey guys, my connection is acting up big time right now, don't know what the problem is at all.

Basically I have a connection to the internet, right now I am on the connection, but I can only access a some sites,  others either don't load or load partially. For example I can watch videos on YouTube but not justin.tv... I am in Waterloo. 

In addition I cannot connect to xbox live, I actually discovered the problem when I got disconnected from a game and wasn't able to reconnect.

My gateway/router is the SMC8014G-W (a piece of crap if I must say) and it's giving me the following Cable Errors:

Time:10/15/09 13:48:01, Level:critical, Content:No Ranging Response received - T3 time-out

There is only one cable going from the router to the wall, no splitting etc and the cable visually looks fine.

Anyone have any idea whats going on? I will call Rogers tomorrow. 

EDIT: I noticed others are having similar problems, mods feel free to delete if necessary. ]]></description>

<title>[ Express] Can&#x27;t sign into hotmail to check inbox?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23307529</link>
<description><![CDATA[For some reason I can't view my hotmail inbox.  If I go to hotmail, I am prompted to enter my e mail and password, and after I press enter, I get re-directed to www.bing.com with hotmail as the search results.  

I am using Windows 7 32 bit, and Firefox, however I've tried IE 8, and I experience the same problems.  

I have tried repeatedly a number of different ways, but I keep reaching bing instead of my inbox.  Even when I click on the mail tab when I'm in bing, I still cannot get to my inbox.   

Is anyone else experiencing this?]]></description>

<title>What do you pay for your rogers High speed service?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23008190</link>
<description><![CDATA[I am located in Toronto off the Danforth. 

I currently Pay $ 46.99 plus tax/month plus rental for Express 10Mbs / 60 GB usage allowance. I personally do not rent a modem. I am not on any bundle or contract.

I called Rogers to see if they could match the other internet service providers.  

I was able to get express 10mbs / 60 GB usage allowance
for $ 30.99 plus tax plus modem rental with a 12 month commitment.  Penalty $20/month by # months left on 12 month contract.

Are there any other deals out there?

What is everyone else paying? Contract? Terms of Price Promotion. 

I do not want to bundle any services.  I had my own domain so I am not tied to any on ISP.   

Hoping we can see what other price plans are available to everyone.

Thanks

<title>[ Extreme] Performance Saturation</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23301644</link>
<description><![CDATA[So I'm having this weird issue that started happening (it seems) a few weeks after a Rogers technician came by to fix the line coming to my house.

I use newgroups, have 3 other computer users in the house and I'm running Tomato with QOS turned on my router. 

I've always been able to max out my speed at like 1700 Kb/s while downloading from newsgroups. The other computers users would not be affected. However now, as soon as I download (using 4 connections) my speed hit the max however they get drowned out. They can't even hit a single webpage.

Is this throttling or what's going on?]]></description>
