So Rogers thinks "they should have a right to lie in their adds because of freedom of speack".

Now that is verry shocking but soooo the rogers way.

Every one should swich to a smaller isp and say good by to them like we did.

[belgradar]

the bigger question is did they over sell there lines and there just is not room for the bandwidth out there i know for a fact on shaw in my area they had not updgraded to suppport all the 50 mb/s packages and would end up getting 10mb or less after 6pm to 12am after there upgrade which we had been waiting or a whole year or more it solved itself.

[belgradar]

i use privat usenet and get 52mb/s on shaw cable package i only should get 50mb on my package

Rogers throttles all the time. Waiting to get freedom from Rogers.

@mukerjea there is no Peak hours and non-peak hours with rogers i am a customer on their 32-34mbps line and i don't hit that the only place i can hit that is on USENET and or youtube and speed tests but i download only at max of 100kbps 600MB file takes me 2 hrs to download lately

[thefakenet]

Rogers throttles 24 hours. Even at 4AM my traffic is being throttled.

[erocicTheGreat]

Bell definitely throttles, I experience it everyday between 4 and 4:30 pm. Can't wait to change!
