Rogers Hi-Speed Internet

Encyclopedia : R : RO : ROG : Rogers Hi-Speed Internet


Rogers Hi-Speed Internet is Rogers Communications Internet Service Provider of broadband Internet access. Rogers previously operated under the brand name RoadRunner in Newfoundland.

In 2004 Rogers partnered with Yahoo! to offer Rogers-Yahoo! Hi-Speed Internet to its members. The free service offers 1GB of e-mail storage, plus access to Premium Yahoo! Services at no charge. Members lost free website space when this went ahead.

Rogers currently provides four packages for Hi-Speed Internet:

Ultra-Lite: For those who primarily use email and light amount of web surfing. (128 kbit/s download and 64 kbit/s upload)

Lite: For email and occasional file sharing, moderate web surfing. (1.0 Mbit/s download and 128 kbit/s upload)

Express: For sharing photos files, intensive web surfing. (5.0 Mbit/s download and 384 kbit/s upload)

Extreme: Fastest residential service for large file sharing. (6.0 Mbit/s download and 800 kbit/s upload)

Monthly Bandwidth Activity Limit is 60 GB, except the Extreme package which has a 100 GB limit.

Although Rogers offers an Extreme service for large file sharing; any attempt at this results in violating their terms of use agreement and can get your service temporarily cut off. Rogers has in the past e-mailed customers with detailed logs of files downloaded via the use of BitTorrent files.
