IHR, I did say that the gateways are garbage. I am not arguing that fact. I am not arguing FOR Rogers, its their jobs to fix this one way or another.
The point I am making, is that the gateway itself is not the core of the problem.
That users can use them in many areas, weither on bridges or not, proves that they CAN work with no disconnects.
This says that the the problem is not solely the gateways fault.
That d2s don't have the issue, says its likely a d3 issue in these areas. Unfortunately without them having stand alone modems to test, can't confirm it, but they likely would have the exact same issues as the gateways would in those effected areas.
The messages that these users have been reporting from the routers, is also documented on other ISPs in the us as well, on stand alone d3 modems! This leads me (as well as my other it workers I have picked their brains on, on the topic), to beleive it is more network related issue, that only the d3s are picking up.
Until this gets resolved, and we find out WHAT is causing it, we unfortunately will never know

Well it could be either.
By the end of the year, rogers is suposed to have remmoved all the throttling stuff.. but its still on in many areas.
Doing P2P stuff, like torrenting, CAN tripp the throttling. Which could then effect just about everything on the connection that requires a consistant steady stream of data.

Alright thanks. I'll be cancelling this week. I do not understand what Rogers is doing or why people continue to put up with it in this country. They try to hype bandwidth as some sort of natural resource here and for some reason Canadians feel guilty enough to buy into it. They've allowed the big Telecoms to convince them a baby seal is dying every time you go over your pathetic bandwidth limit (which is already overly expensive) and you have to make amends with your wallet. Meanwhile other countries around the world we would consider to be far behind us technologically are laughing at us.
