Over the past 3 years, I've noticed Rogers increasing their fees (this time it's internet service fee by $5).
Stated in their well planned letter i received, they are sorry that some customers were charged $5 without explanation (they ALWAYS state this, however ive never been charged and no one i know has) before a statement of increase was made. Rogers will credit the customers who were charged $5 back, BUT moving forward all Roger's customers will have their service fees increased $5.
WHAT THE JUNK.
First of all what a scum piece of company. I used to work for rogers and when they increased fees it would be moving forward on new plans or new upgraded plans or new plan switch, NOT current customers. WTF..
So the letter is an apology to no one, it's basically their way of a Notice of increase in service fees.
/rant.
What internet companies are you guys with?

They've done it several times.
Even you are in a contract.
Just noticed they updated my old First Gen PVR box.
It used to be fast, no lag,super intuitive FAV channel, PVR function.
Now fucking slow like the 2nd gen boxes and changed to the newer menu I don't like.
New upgrade is fucking awful... so much lag

I saw the $5 increase on my June bill and set out to cancelling and switching providers. Went with eBox and Zaius hooked me up with his old modem for only the cost of a handjob.
He's Asian, so it was an easy job

I have internet with TekSavvy... no complaints, more than enough bandwidth for our household.
Bandwidth: 400 GB Speed: Download Speed Up To 25 Mbps
Upload Speed Up To 2 Mbps
$47.50/mo
do they do fiber yet? I had to switch to Robbers since my new place is fiber the door. I want teksavvy back.

As per the CRTC, they should be able to offer Fiber now... I have no clue if they actually do yet.

Today I'm getting Can-net installed, 150 cable service, unlimited for $50.00
jumping up from Fibe25, it should be a good upgrade / price savings. I'm sure you've read the horror stories about Cannet/CIK customer service as well as I have. Does that choice of yours simply come down to price?
price is definitely an issue when its a difference of $20 vs teksavvy, and $50 vs Robbers.
Even if it slows down to 75, i'm still ahead of the 25 I was on with Bell.
as for the issues, from what i've read, its mostly been a few years ago and recent feedback seems to be better.. at least what i've read on RFD.

I'm thinking about giving Cannet a try as well. I have Fibe TV and in the past, you had to get internet from Bell as well. But it doesn't look like that is the case anymore. Would only save $10 month due to my current discount, but the extra speed would be useful for my Android box.

RFD thread says Cannet throttles pretty badly ... be forewarned.
CRTC says no provider is allowed to throttle.
And even Cannet says they'll pay out $100 if you have proof that you are being throttled. Guess they can sue rogers if anything is proven anyways.
I did read on other forums, where its not throttling, but for certain customers, you get lumped into a low priority group during peak hours but you can ask to get "whitelisted" so that you area always in the high priority group. But like I said, I was only getting 25 down with Bell anyways, so anything above that during the few peak hours I'm fine with. But last night, I ran tests at 8pm and 9pm, still getting full speed. We'll see in a month when they see some of my usage patterns?

Why would speed be an issue unless you are streaming 4k content. I couldn't stream 4k at all when I was with TS on the 100 account and night time throttleing was fucking insane.

I get freezing when watching my Android box in the evenings. Everything is ok during the day though. Hoping that having a bigger connection would alleviate the issue. Regardless, I'm paying more for my Fibe25 than the 75+ MB services from the other providers.

Using the Rogers cable modem/router, streaming wirelessly (N) to notebook ... With an ongoing Skype audio call ... (artifacts as this test was going on...)
I'm supposedly on the "150Mbps" plan too ...

its probably the limitation of your w/l card at that point.. hard wire and test again.

So I called Bell retention, and I ended up reducing my combined TV/internet bill by $25/month and they gave me 50MB internet as well. Didn't notice any freezing on my Android box so far, so the increased speed might have helped. Will try it out for a while and see how it goes. I didn't sign a contract, so I can switch anytime if need be.

yea, 50 should be more than enough. Its when you start running multiple streams, then you'll need more.

FTMFW!!!
- they have been very reliable tbh and speed quite decent (above my package of 100gbs/unltd usage), so can't complain for the price.
