Buckle Up

"Dear ROBERTMA,

Great news! We've made your Internet even faster! You don't have to do a thing. Your download speed has been automatically increased from 5 Mbps to 7 Mbps.* Whether you're banking online, streaming a video or booking a hotel, now you can do it even faster — at no extra cost.

Enjoy your new speed. Thank you for "choosing" Rogers.

*Download speeds may vary with Internet traffic, server or other factors."



Michael Geist: "As measured by price per megabyte - effectively the price for speed - Canada ranks 28th out of 30 countries, ahead of only Mexico and Poland. This may be the most telling metric, since it confirms that Canadians pay more for less."

Tell Rogers I have a 3.5" floppy here I'll give them. They can have their customers type messages out on it and hand-carry it to the destination.

I think it's that they've had an infrastructure since 1982.

I'm surprised to see France ahead of the Scandanavians, the top represents isolation while the bottom is on the swarthy end of the spectrum. I blame Nortel.
