Ultima Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Rogers is one of the earliest ISPs known to actively throttle its users. It throttles BitTorrent and encrypted connections, period. It doesn't care about download/upload volume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 To give you an idea just HOW bad Rogers is...I added it to my list of Canned Bad News (3rd link in my signature) as response #3.They are completely hostile to anyone using the internet for more than web browsing.

downbytheriver Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 hey switeck, you seem knowledgeable so maybe you can help me or show me where to do. I AM fed up with rogers, i hate them. The download speeds are ridiculous, my bandwith crawls when i have torrents going. I will see it shoot up to 400kb/sec than smash back down to 40kb time and time again. So frustrated with this company. Do you know what the best service provider to go to in canada? to be free with your bandwith!! i heard that its all controlled by rogers and bell, no matter who you go through, is this true? We need to end the telecommunications monopoly in this country! thanks for any help!happy downloading ps. my torrents are greenlight all good to go so its def a bandwith issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Rogers and Bell do indeed have a stranglehold over much of Canada.Teksavvy ADSL is about the best there is, and they too admit Bell is crippling their lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downbytheriver Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 are you from canada? what do you use? what kinda speeds can you get? its so unfair ! argh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 I am not from Canada, I just do lots of internet research on ISPs.Wherever you are in Canada, you need to research what ISPs are available in your area and if they share Bell's lines. They should tell you, may even be required by law to tell you.Shaw Cable is supposedly ok, but I've read in a few places that they too disrupt/throttle BitTorrent traffic some...maybe noticeable only in high congestion areas.
