 "Speed as advertised for HTTP use only"
 "SSL, VPN, and bittorrent are all throttled to the extreme"
 "25Mbit service is like owning a Ferrari with a 80kph governor. Expensive and pointless."

Previously used Teksavvy. First thing I noticed with Rogers is that their CSR's, even the techs, are not very knowledgeable. I'm more familiar with the technology than they are and I'm just a software engineer.
The 25Mbit and 50Mbit plans are a complete ripoff. What's the point of having a fast connection if it's throttled down to nothing 24/7. Bittorrent and VPN are essentially useless. Which raises concerns not only about honesty in advertising, but also privacy as well if they are not going to let you use VPN to protect yourself.
I don't see Rogers is going to get anyone to continue to pay for this service. Speed is only useful for downloading large files, and they won't let you do that, so what's the point in paying $100 for the speed?
Don't pay for anything higher than the $45 10 Mbit package.
