ROGERS IGNITE 250u review
Today I switched to Rogers’ newest service, ROGERS IGNITE 250u, why the all-caps is beyond me. That is unlimited usage tier, with 250mbps download, and 20mbps upload bandwidth. It is $69.99 for 3 months, then $95 after that. I was unable to use my existing retention discount of 25% in addition to the 3 month discount, but it worked out for me to use my retentions discount as it lasts longer.
Here are the details:

UNLIMITED USAGE
Speeds up to:
- 250Mbps DOWNLOAD
- 20Mbps UPLOAD
But I am actually receiving significantly more on the download end, at 320Mbps!

Rogers Retention Ridiculousness
TLDR; Rogers internet 25% off “Extreme Plus” (45Mbps/4Mbps/150GB) for $69 per month.
Let me start out by saying that for the past year there has been ‘provisioning’ going on with Bell Canada preventing me from getting any service other than Rogers Cable internet.
I signed up 8 months ago for a student promotion for 8 months no contract:
25Mbps Download; 2Mbps Upload; 160GB Cap; $52 after tax
This just expired and to my shock the price went up to $90. (I am rounding to the nearest dollar)
Here were my options (after calling Bell who informed me that they are still provisioning) Continue reading Rogers Retention Ridiculousness

MHL USB OTG HDMI
Well I succeeded in naming a blog post with only acronyms.
This fun little device allows HDMI output from your android phone (think screen sharing). I picked one up from Ebay for about 7 dollars including HDMI cable. Quite a cool concept, however, in practice – not so much. Continue reading MHL USB OTG HDMI
Rogers mobile speed test results with HTC One on LTE
Being a Wind Mobile customer for more than a year and a half now, I have always been disappointed with their mobile speed (specifically the upload rate).
Today, I went to Vaughan Mills Mall where they had a display for the HTC One. After talking with the sales person for a few minutes, I convinced him to demonstrate the speed test for Rogers which he was using as a carrier for the new device.
