I too had the lingering stench of Rogers on my equipment after switching from them to TSI. A few months later it was all clear.

also had the same issue. after switching to Teksavvy.

fully cleared the cache, restart browser, worked fine after.

it seems that this happened because the new modem doesnt have any internet yet when i connected my PC and redirects it to a provisioning website. so basically my pc saved this website as the cached website of what i was really accessing hence it redirects to this rogers website everytime i access the actual website that i was accessing. (in my case my IE homepage was google.com redirects to http://your.rogers.com/cgi-bin/index2.html, note that firefox or chrome is not doing it.)

I'm unhappy with the caps given the cost of my package, and that's after negotiating a 1 year discount of 20%. We shouldn't have to continually call them out on their pricing, threaten to leave etc. just to get a reasonable price. I'm unhappy with the cost of renting the 'upgraded' modem/router that I then had to bridge anyway. I'm unhappy with the traffic shaping/throttling done by rogers, although I was told that was supposed to go away by the end of this month after the last CRTC missive to them re: the extended timeline for removing this was unacceptable as they were proven to throttle time sensitive packets. I'm unhappy that when I get chosen as the host for MW3, the entire game blows up and the lobby dies (probably the throttling again).

But I hate Bell. ;-) Teksavvy may still be a viable option at some point, although now that my home phone is also Rogers I guess I'll have to wait for cable internet in my area rather than DSL. I use them at the cottage and am so far very happy with everything except only being able to get 6mbps service, but that is the infrastructure not them.
