Example, get hooked up in a may, get shut off a few years later in January, you pay until may rolls around.

Also, they block ALL ports that bit torrent runs on. SO even non torrent traffic using those ports is blocked.

They are throttling FTP connections, transfer a huge file? No way!. You get booted from that port just long enough to kill the connection.

Want to run an interface or server from your system to remote access your system or view files in a page you made to display them or have directory listings? NOPE.. Considered a server and threatened to be cut off. They literally cut my bandwidth down to dialup speeds once until I called them and they told me why. Was not allowed to run a script on port 80 (or any port) that allowed me remote access to my files.

And now this email shit.

FUCK them.

All those things they refuse to let customers do can be overcome by paying above what it's worth. Sure I could do a lot more if I had a biz account setup once I have my own internet access again, but it's all things I was able to do not that long ago. And event hen, they want anything you pay for to be associated to them in services you have to pay tons more for!

grrrr...

It's too bad they are the fasted net provider in the area.

I hear your pain bro, but you have to realize, you are trying to run a business on a residential connection. What Rogers offers you would be OVERKILL for most people using the net to surf some porn, download an MP3 or 10, and chat with friends ...

If your needs are more than what they offer in that package, then you need to spring for a BUSINESS SOLUTION account.

To paraphrase this situation - you cannot buy a Ford Focus, and then be pissed off at Ford because a BMW M5 does the QM in half the time.
