Rogers is the top ISP in the set, but according to some official statements, their systems inadvertently began severe DPI shaping on encrypted and P2P traffic since September 2010 around when Netflix was rolled out to Canada. This issue still remains today. I have a 50 megabit plan with Rogers and all my SSL traffic throttles the entire line with an exponential dropoff to 25 Kilobytes a second. The packet loss is severe and persists for all packets even HTTP. It takes a long time sometimes an hour for the connection to recover. You can imagine how many applications this would impact (syncs with large files, P2P, Dropbox make the Internet virtually unusable). I don't speculate on the matter, but here is some more information. http://www.christopher-parsons.com/blog/isps/rogers-network-failures-and-third-party-oversight/ http://www.christopher-parsons.com/blog/isps/rogers-network-... http://torrentfreak.com/rogers-bittorrent-throttling-experiment-goes-horribly-wrong-101213/ http://torrentfreak.com/rogers-bittorrent-throttling-experim...
