Rogers new Extreme Plus and Ultimate Tier HSI packages

rRep · 2009-07-07, 08:48 PM

Hi all,

No prices.

Extreme Plus:

Download: 25 Mbps
Upload: 1 Mbps
Data Transfer: 125 GB per month

An "Enhanced Home Networking Gateway (Wireless N)" is required for this service. The existing "cap" for overages will still apply @ $25, no word yet on the per GB charge.

The rollout date for this is August 17, 2009 in the GTA. Subject to change, of course!! Other areas will continue to be rolled-out throughout 2010.

---

Ultimate Tier:

Download: 50 Mbps
Upload: 2 Mbps
Data Transfer: 175 GB per month

Customers are required to have Digital Equipment (Meaning Digital Cable), and the Wireless N modem is required as well. August 17, 2009 is the rollout date. Subject to change, as always .. other areas to follow throughout 2010.

---

Toronto

M5J

All other areas surrounding Toronto (Pickering, Ajax, Brampton, Missisauga, etc) DOCSIS3 is expected on September 18th.

NOTE: THIS IS ALL SUBJECT TO CHANGE AT ANY TIME. I post this as a user on this forum, and this should not be considered "official" word by Rogers until it's announced publicly.. but I figured you all would enjoy it. If you're wondering if your area is included with the DOCSIS3 rollout, lemme know the first 3 of your post code.

Any idea of when this will hit London (Dorchester to be exact), I haven't received anything to swap out my DOCSIS 2.0 modem yet... Edit: Postal Code (N0L)

profets · 2009-07-07, 10:12 PM

Cool to hear that docsis3 is coming around.. Thanks for sharing.

rRep · 2009-07-07, 10:25 PM

@ cm023 -- unfortunately I can't find London in the list for the first two phases .. I assume it will be rolled out past September of this year, but I don't know what the exact date will be. You'll probably be notified on the bill prior to the implementation in your area.

cdn_tbird · 2009-07-07, 10:33 PM

How about Aurora - L4G

Ah well that sucks, were always last on the Rogers list anyway, London being that small inland fishing village and all.

rRep · 2009-07-07, 11:01 PM

L4G will be in phase 2, Sept.18

Daniel Tonks · 2009-07-08, 04:17 AM

Hmm, for Markham L3T seems to be Thornhill area... how about L3R?

gv308 · 2009-07-08, 07:59 AM

M8V? Does this upgrade apply to MDU's or is it only residential?

East Etobicoke..... I thought we were part of Toronto :-)

timlocke · 2009-07-08, 09:06 AM

Interesting that M5A, M4X, M4W aren't in the list. Parts of Rosedale and Cabbagetown/East Downtown and around there. I guess there must be some old equipment that isn't due for an upgrade.

DIGITALEight · 2009-07-08, 12:22 PM

What about L4T?

smootherator · 2009-07-08, 12:33 PM

you know i don't see Rogers as a paying advertiser on this forum...this looks like free publicity and free advertising to me.

I suggest Rogers show a little respect for its customers and support this forum if they want to hype their "next best thing" here.

FYI, Digital Home was blacklisted by Rogers after we ran a story about compression on HD Channels (the first time) and refuses to advertise on the site.

Asher · 2009-07-08, 03:57 PM

This is utterly ridiculous.

Just last week they made me go swap my DOCSIS 1.1 modem for a 2.0. Now in August I'll need to swap for a 3.0 for the new speeds?

I'm in M1H...when is that? And what do they mean by wireless N is required -- just to get max speed? I don't want or need a new Wireless N modem, I'm hoping the wording doesn't mean I need to buy/rent theirs.

would that not also include their reps from posting on here?

They cant expect free publicity and not offer to advertise on the site. Especially with employees posting this stuff on here.
