<title>Unable to connect to Rogers website via RocketStick</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23407150</link>
<description><![CDATA[I have discovered a problem in Alberta with the stick. I even went so far to go to a local Rogers Wireless store so they could flash my stick. Tech support are aware of this problem to no avail. ie you cannot visit their own website with their equipment to monitor your usage, view your account, etc..
My laptap is a brand new HP G60 with Win7. Also, Rogers advertises free internet protection as long as you don't have Win7. Come on Rogers....get with the program.]]></description>

<title>[Extreme Plus] Xbox Live</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23377243</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hey guys I'm having a problem, and I'm looking for some help if possible. All my speedtests come out fine and my downloads go at a good rate, but my xbox live could be much better, mainly COD MW2, and I had the problem with COD4(Strangely I never had a hosting problem for gears, ever.).  Because I have a good connection I get choosen to be the host a lot. Here's the problem, when I host, nobody can play, they all lag so bad they all lag out and I have to close the room down. This happens non-stop. My Nat is open, I am dirrectly connected to my modem, and I've just run out of ideas on what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.]]></description>

<title>[Extreme Plus] Issues hosting on Xbox Live</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23055933</link>
<description><![CDATA[I have Rogers extreme plus service and usually get around 15mbs down and 956kbs up.  This should be plenty of upload to host COD4 games on Xbox live but I've been having issues where everyone else in the room experiences terrible lag and some people trying to join cannot get fully in.  At the same time, everyone will have full green bars...

I've recently switched to the new modem, the SMC D3GN, and I hoped it would fix the problem.  It didn't.  The xbox is hardwired to the modem.  I have this problem whether or not the main computer is also connected to the modem.  Rogers has come out and rerun the line from the pole to the house and rerun the line in the house to the modem.  This happens on two different  xboxes.  It never happened on these same xboxes with my old service provider, comcast.  

Neither Rogers nor Xbox live customer support can help with this issue.  Xbox live is not a supported application according to Rogers and Rogers cannot tell me if they do something to slow my upload speeds if I host a game.  My NAT is open.  I have placed the Xbox in a DMZ.  Nothing seems to help.  

This is very frustrating and I'm not sure where to go from here.  I play mainly Call of Duty 4 which picks a host based on connection speeds.  I often get chosen and once the game starts, half the people leave and I have to end the game and go to the lobby where everybody accuses me of having a lag switch.

Does anybody know of any issues Rogers has that would cause this?  Is there anything I should be doing differently on my end?  (I haven't forwarded ports as I think having the xbox in the dmz and having an open NAT should negate the need for this).  Is there another service provider I should be looking at?  If I can't get this fixed, I think my only option is to downgrade my service so I don't get chosen to host anymore.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.]]></description>

<title>Extreme Plus/SMCD3GN</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23369205</link>
<description><![CDATA[For those with Extreme Plus please post your impression of the service so far.  Are you satisfied with it?  

Are you able to get signal stats off the SMCD3GN, and if so, which stats, and how?  A pic would be nice.

Considering the service myself.]]></description>

<title>Finally got tomato router to work with POS SMCD3GN.</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23173658</link>
<description><![CDATA[It was a good day, it's been so long that I forgot how a good router was supposed to function.  The last straw was streaming xvids to the ps3 with this garbage, anything over 3Mbps would start stuttering making me very angry.  I suggest everyone do it, use the mso login and disable all commercial gateway functions.  Set internet type to dhcp in your router, subnet mask to 255.255.254.0 which took me a while to figure out from the default 255.255.255.0.  Now everything works like a charm.  No more SMC garbage!]]></description>

<title>[ TV] Rogers Cable TV Price Drop</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23388220</link>
<description><![CDATA[I was just checking out the Rogers TV packages on the site and I noticed they had dropped the price for the VIP and Digital package (probably VIP ultimate has dropped as well but I dont remember the old price).

https://www.rogers.com/web/link/ptvBrowsePackagesFlowBegin?forwardTo=landing

VIP I believe was $64.50 before, now $57.50
Digital was $32.99 now $29.99.

They also added a new package... Digital Plus.

A price Drop? Thats just unimaginable! And btw, it doesnt indicate anywhere that this is a promo price so I am assuming its regular.]]></description>

<title>Recent slowdown in downloading from Rapidshare and the like</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23402139</link>
<description><![CDATA[I'm not sure if this will get moved, since I'm not with Rogers but with 3web. I know that it backbones on Rogers services so I'm asking a general question of the Rogers users.

I've recently experienced a halving on the speeds from sites like Rapidshare and Megashares (premium paid for account) that I can't account for. Watching the speeds I'll see them momentarily touch speeds like 230kB/s only to drop to 80 or 90 kB/s. I used to get speeds that maxed out my connection 1.19mbs. Is it just me, or has anyone else seen this. I wonder if it's port related (I'm pretty sure that rapidshare uses port 80). 

J.
