Rogers is evil.

Roger’s Internet is the Devil.
Got through this morning to a tech support guy who was familiar with the term “cisco” in a way most of them aren’t, ie, he actually knew what a router was.
Rogers internet has taken to dissabling accounts which abuse their informal quotas. Yea, rogers now has quotas, informally of course. Due to massive abuse of the system, they’ve decided to exploit a loophole in their EUA.
“Unlimited Internet Service” now refers only to the fact that you can be connected 24/7. ie, The connection is unlimited, but the bandwidth is limited.
I’ve had rogers dissconnect me a -lot- due to this, and have had a few calls at work from rogers security about it. Wondering if I had a virus that was using all the bandwidth, or if i was just abusing it. They then informed me of how little bandwidth each node has, and that if I and 1-2 other rogers customers in my area are all using our rogers connection to the full usage which we pay for, then it means there isnt any bandwidth for anybody else. The needs of the may, etc etc.
Their soloution? dissconnect me constantly at 2-3 am so that I’ll stop.
Ugh. Well, if I didn’t know somebody at rogers, my account would already have been dissabled without notice.
