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 \:D

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.

Complaining about Rogers when there are cheaper alternatives but not switching


THIS!

I'll never understand it. How hard is it to set up alerts for when new retention plan drops...With websites like RFD it makes it a no brainer to get a good deal on any plan to fit your needs.

Who pays for activation, modem rental or purchases a modem anymore. I haven't done that in 15+ years.

I've never been a Rogers customer, nor bell.

Started with Acanac dsl, moved to start.ca, basic 15/1 plan, never needed more.

Home phone is VoIP.ms, put $25 on my account over a year ago, havnt used it up.

No cable just OTA, Netflix and YouTube

Cable is nice and I enjoy using it when going to
Others who have It, but not a necessity for us

I ended up staying with Rogers, was all set to do the move to Bell gigabit but Rogers called the day before and finally offered a better deal to match bell.

Getting 239/33 for my desktop on speedtest.net and 416/32 on new Lenovo Yoga thinkpad, both hard wired.

On Rogers speedtest getting 292/32 and 572/32 respectively.

Not too concerned about the speed but will upgrade the nic card on the desktop as the machine is old as dirt. Main focus was getting a cheaper rate for overall package than what i was paying before.

Now should I ditch my old Asus RT-N56U router or is there a way to have it bridged from upstairs to get better overall wifi around the whole house?

Rogers Gigabit router is in basement.

Do you have a hard wire Ethernet connection to another area in the house to add a second ap? If you add another wifi repeater you will get better coverage but your speed with be halved so it's best to add another ap

No hardwired ethenet port upstairs would just be wifi using the Asus. Is it worthwhile to do or just stick with the one downstairs or have both downstairs and pick between each routers 2.4 and 5 signal using different ssid?

If you don't mind picking between the strongest ap it would be the easiest to do

Google MoCA and I've converted the cable coax into a direct ethernet line throughout the house.

this is the product Im using...

Note - if you have satellite cable feed throughout the house, it will not work.

The new Rogers modem/router is actually pretty good if you can get it somewhere central in your house. For the moment I have mine turned off because I upgraded to a Asus 3100 from the 56U.

The 56U couldn't keep up hardwired with Gigabit speeds, nevermind wireless.

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.

i call robbers customer retentions every 2yrs on the dot (i saved that shit in my phone....date/number/my plan lol) and basically say "ok i'm done contract and will move to bell, please setup a new plan for 1-2 yrs for me"....they do so, and i'm set again for 2yrs \:\) - they have been very reliable tbh and speed quite decent (above my package of 100gbs/unltd usage), so can't complain for the price.

i do the same call for our cell phone contracts and cable (but cable i just stick with base+1 bonus channel), as i have a good android box.

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