<title>[TV] 4642HD cable box</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28312199</link>
<description><![CDATA[i got a few question for those who have the rogers 4642HD cable box.

1) do all the outputs work at the same time? HDMI, composite/s-video, etc? if i want to hook it up to a DVR and TV at the same time?

2) what kind of heat comes out of this thing? more, less or equal to the explorer 940 SD box?

3) is it worth the $320 + tax? any issues with quality?]]></description>

<title>Rogers Commits Another Embarrassing Public Screw-Up</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28314506</link>
<description><![CDATA[When will this company get its act together and act professional? They sent a text message to their customers telling them that Jelly Bean 4.2 was ready for download and that it would give their Samsung S3's almost the same capabilities as the S4 with the new software update. Then they send this to their customers.

A SMS was sent in error on May 21, 2013 indicating Jelly Bean 4.2 was available for Rogers Samsung Galaxy III customers. We apologize for the error and any inconvenience this may have caused. The correct OS upgrade available for Rogers Samsung Galaxy III ICS customers is Jelly Bean 4.1 (not 4.2). For more info on upcoming OS updates please visit http://communityforums.rogers.com and select OS upgrade schedule.Rogers mesmerizing us again with their crappy service at sky-high prices  :uhh:]]></description>

<title>Nextbox - worth switching to?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28316216</link>
<description><![CDATA[I currently have Bell TV Satellite, and unfortunately Bell Fibe is not yet available in my area (they won't tell me when it will be available).   I used to have the 9220 (I think that was the model number) - it was the original HD PVR with the 2 room function.   I loved that model as my 2nd room would go to my master bedroom.  Once they swapped out the PVR units with the free upgrade, I no longer have the two room option (I have an HD PVR in living room and regular PVR in the bedroom)...I'm sure many others have had this horrible swap out with Bell.

So with that being said, I was considering to switch to Rogers with the Netbox Whole Home option.  I've seen a few reviews online of people saying when it first launched that the PVR was buggy.  I'm just wondering if Rogers has worked out the bugs by now...and if anyone out there has the Whole Home PVR setup with Rogers if you would recommend it or not.

Thanks!]]></description>

<title>30% Off Scam - Beware of Rogers!!</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28263347</link>
<description><![CDATA[So I was just about to move to Teksavvy when Rogers offered me 30% off on my Express Internet. They said they can add unlimited to get me close to a Teksavvy package.

I figured $51.99 + $30.00 unlimited less 30% is a pretty good deal.
All I had to commit to was a year obligation.

Guess what!!

Got my bill.....

$51.99 Express less 30% plus full pop $30 for unlimited.

They only gave the discount on the base not the $30 upgrade.

I am going to call and tell them that was a misleading way to get me into a contract. It borders on entrapment.]]></description>

<title>Stay away from ROGERS.</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28310485</link>
<description><![CDATA[STAY AWAY FROM ROGERS. I'm not biased.... but after this, when my contract ends, I will be switching to Bell Fibe internet WITHOUT a single doubt.

For the past month, my Internet went from bad (always had to play with lag, I play FIFA 13 on XBOX 360... my players felt like they were stuck in mud, can't make passes, couldn't turn... couldn't do anything for three years) to completely and literally unplayable. There was a horrible controller input delay when playing online (not offline)

Reason I stayed with them for so long was because there are no options... Bell uses phone line internet, and doesn't sound great... but after hearing that they have FTTN (fiber to the node) in my area, I'll be more than glad to try their internet out.

I wanted try playing an OTP game to test out my connection (got ANOTHER new modem because the useless tech support Rogers told me so after getting THREE other modems, with the same problem)

I have a picture of having a red bar connection, but it's on my iPhone, so I'll upload that later... but take a look at this when I pinged google.com and google.ca :

 [att=1] 

851ms and 231ms? Is that a sad joke? After calling them 15+ times in two weeks, they kept brushing me off saying it's a problem with the modem, that there's no problem with the area (no congestion, signal is &quot;fine&quot;),

At first, I told them to send a technician to check the wiring/other possiblue issues, like congestion... but they said they wouldn't do it... until today, I was raging at the tech support and they finally got someone (probably another useless technician) to check it out, just to say &quot;everything is ok&quot; (as always).

So for people experiencing mud lag, button delay... it is NOT EA, IT IS your ISP! Why can others play EA perfectly while some others can't? Because it's the ISP's fault... some people say that FIFA is horrible, but other online games play fine.... well, FIFA uses P2P (and many ISP's throttle P2P traffic)

If you don't believe me, Rogers FIRST denied that they throttled P2P traffic, but FINALLY admitted that they did it and &quot;promised&quot; to stop throttling.

Here, take a look:
https://www.google.ca/#sclient=psy-ab&q=rogers+online+gaming+throttling&oq=rogers+online+gaming+throttling&gs_l=hp.3..33i29i30.296.5070.0.5191.35.25.2.6.6.2.226.3577.1j21j2.24.0...0.0...1c.1.14.psy-ab.-668Uj_F3q8&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_qf.&bvm=bv.46751780,d.aWc&fp=38a4aad75e27d23f&biw=944&bih=951

So, for any other people affected by lag while playing FIFA, it IS your ISP.... NOT ea's fault! Try another ISP/new modem... try playing at friends house, test the connection out, etc.]]></description>

<title>Constant disconnects late at night.</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28314772</link>
<description><![CDATA[For the last few weeks the internet has basically been disconnecting usually late at night. I'm not home until 10-11 pm and the intermittent disconnects start happening past 12-1 am and are very short. It will disconnect for 2 minutes, and then come back, and then disconnect again. Last night the internet went down around 2 am, I power cycled the modem and my router and it came back up. Tonight, same thing happened around 2 am once again, but after power cycling the modem and router around 5 times, the internet came back up. Now I called rogers a few weeks ago, the tech support guy said that it could be because the modem and router go out of sync. He power cycled the modem 3 times and told me to do it every time this happens. Does this sound like a modem problem or a line problem? I'm not going to have time until next week to exchange the modem if so, but this is super frustrating, and calling their tech support at 3 am is insanely slow. ]]></description>

<title>Rogers DNS seemed to be causing itermitant internet access</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28243739</link>
<description><![CDATA[For the last few days (approx April 25 - April 28) I have been having internet access stop and start intermittently.  I an on Rogers Extreme with a Hitron in Bridge mode. I tired switching my routers and problem remained.  I finaly took some time today to trouble shoot and changed the DNS servers from auto (i.e. Rogers) to Google 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 and so far my intermittent internet access problems have stopped.   I was surprised to not see this reported here already (so maybe it is something strange just affecting my area (Toronto - Dufferin and St Clair area)  Hope this helps anyone else who may be having this issue.]]></description>

<title>&#x26;amp;quot;Buried Communication Cable?&#x26;amp;quot;</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28287163</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hello.
About 2 years ago, I've recognized these small "flags" in my area with the text "Buried Communication Cable." Now, I'm assuming it's someone bringing cable into my area, but I was never informed by Rogers, or who-ever brought the cable line that their is internet available. 

I just want to know if it is Rogers bringing out cable into my area, or what?

Also, Google gives no results when I try to figure out what it is. I only found 1 image:

<title>London - Hamilton/Adelaide Area</title>

<description><![CDATA[Anyone having issues with their Internet connection?

Called Rogers and they said no one else has complained (Riiiight).  Anyway, had crystal clear connection (No packet loss and no lag) for a year and a half and today I came home to find the Online light on my Cisco modem flashing.

I power cycled it and it took forever but it finally went solid, however the DS light was orange not green.  My connection is horrible.  The tech (Read: Script Reader) on the phone said my connection is weak.  He setup an appointment for a tech to come out tomorrow.  Nothing has changed.

<title>How to choose an ISP in Ontairo</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28244209</link>
<description><![CDATA[Today I was reflecting on Google&#146;s decision to expand their fiber optic internet services beyond Kansas City into 2 new regions. I believe their offerings are the start of  a grand shakeup in the American cable and DSL market, but there is still time for the traditional ISPs to respond to this new player. While I can envy my friends in Kansas City having Google install a 1 gigabit line to their home &#150; I question how much longer we Canucks must wait for either a company with Google&#146;s funding, or Google itself to try such an experiment in Ontario?

<title>Overcharged by Rogers, and being yelled :(</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28303867</link>
<description><![CDATA[I have a billing dispute with Rogers. They charged me more than $500 for sending and receiving text messages. I called Rogers in regards to that problem, and was told that I bear all responsibility. I was simply told that, because my Value Pack (Caller Display, Voice Message, Text message) was removed, I need to pay all the cost.

The Customer Service representatives refused to listen to my explanations. I told them that I did not know text messaging service was included in the Value Pack. They simply told me that I should have known since I was the one removing the service.

What should I do now? I had no success in getting back any credit. I feel cheated.

<title>[Extreme] ASUS RT-AC66U or ASUS RT-N66U?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28309731</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hey, I have the smcd3gn modem/router gateway from Rogers and wired internet speeds that occasionally reach 100mb/s (speedtest.net).

I want to put this into bridge mode and use a router (Because is smcd3gn wireless is horrible). I need wireless internet at a pretty far range, as I live in a 3 floor house and the router must be on the bottom floor.

I was wondering if the ASUS AC wireless is going to give me a significant advantage over the ASUS N wireless, and if it is worth the ~$50 extra.

Any knowledge on these routers is much appreciated!
Thanks]]></description>

<title>Possible That Rogers Give 70% off Rogers Ultimate</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28232905</link>
<description><![CDATA[I currently have rogers tv + cell phones..... I am wondering if Rogers will give new customers of internet - 70% off Rogers Ultimate Cable Internet (150Mbits Download / 10Mbits Upload) with 30 dollars for unlimited (9999 TB)/ I currently bought one of their hitron modems required for ultimate service 8/4 channel bonding. So I don't need to pay modem rental. Never had rogers internet at my current place of living which is my Dad's House. But have Rogers Internet (Express) with unlimited + phone and cable at my Mom's.

I would guess Retentions would be able to do it... any suggestions?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Does anyone know if Rogers did anything in the last 12 hours such as a firmware update or anything that would have changed the rogcesadmin login on the SMCD3GN router?  I am no longer able to access the rogcesadmin or mso accounts with the PW's I had set ages ago nor with the old 'secret' pw after a full reset :(  So now I am no longer in bridged mode and am using this pos router.  Did anyone else experience anything like this?]]></description>
