Rogers@home is now blaming customers for it's problems.... Give me a break

[NicColt]

Get this, I just heard last night on newsnet that Rogers is blaming their poor internet service on "to many active users"

I mean WTF kind of BS is that...... to many active users... do they think that people will buy their service and stop or hardly use it ????? Jebus....

If they can't provide the service to all paying active users in the first place then perhaps they should limit subscriptions and only offer services they are ABLE to provide to the customer base. I mean D'UHHH

That's the equivalent of overbooking seats on a flight and then blaming the overbooking problem on people who actually show up for the flight. Don't you just hate it when stupid morons suits are running things like this. GAWD ALMIGHTY.

There's a reason I just cancelled their service yesterday!!! I switched to Bell High Speed...kicks ass!

You are incredibly selfish, taking advantage of Rogers like that. It's not like you are paying for high bandwidth internet access to actually USE it. It's only supposed to be a status symbol.

That's pretty damn sad. Check their sales ads and literature. If they claim that there will never be a slowdown due to over selling like AT&T@home used to do, you're in for a lot of free internet service.

Anytime I had lost packets, bad pings or slow service, I called up AT&T and got the month free because they guaranteed there would be no network slow downs to over selling nodes. Nine months of my first year were free.

actually I have to admit that they have made progress with the speed of HTTP but when it comes to NNTP/MAIL and Latency I give them a failing grade. I'm actually paying for an external NNTP service since theirs is unusable.

but to go public and blame customers for their problems is just uncalled for.
