So I left Rogers a couple of years ago when they first started throttling torrents in my area and vowed I would never use them again......
I'm currently on Bell unlimited usage plan and the speeds I'm getting are horrendous (2mbps down, non-existant up) so I'm thinking of dealing with the devil again and switching to Rogers Extreme Plus plan.
I don't have an issue with the 125GB cap and am drooling over the 25mbps download speed.
Question is, does Rogers throttle torrents still? Seems ludicrous to me that they would on a capped plan. On an unlimited plan I can see the rationale but if I'm paying for 125GB a month I should be able to use it at full throttle however I see fit and then nail me with overage charges if I do go over.
Second question, is the $149 wireless g modem a new docsis 3 modem that I can use on the extreme plus plan? I plan on disabling everything on it and just use it as a bridge and continue to use my wireless n linksys router running dd-wrt firmware.
Third question. For anybody that is not renting their modem can you give me a breakdown of your bill with total amount for the extreme plus plan? I know it is $69.99 but want to know if there are any other "fees" Rogers throws on there other than HST.
