My buddy knows the guy that actually works on the towers for tbay tel and said all that has to be done is to open up the bandwidth more, he said its like a gate, the more they open the more you get problem is it cost them alot to open it more. but apparently thats all it would take to fix the problem is for them to man up.Hopefully bell will come out with service soonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2815284624481726904.post-50994592690673320012011-11-07T20:53:01.784-05:002011-11-07T20:53:01.784-05:00I suggest you let Rogers know in writing the detai...I suggest you let Rogers know in writing the details as to why you are unhappy and cancelling the service.

I hit one speed test sans yagi at over 2.3 mb/s and consistently tested in the 1mb+ range (not bad for fringe and internal antenna). Signed up and now it's unusable even with foliage down and an outside yagi. Something's pooched. Cancelling Rogers this month.

However, some can be indicative of poor connectivity. If you do not already have one, an external antenna may help out. <br /><br />It my own case, I connect through the Goulais site and the speeds have been within the 2.5 Mbps (evenings) to 4.5 Mbps (daytime) for most of this week. This is within the range that I was getting before the onset of congestion. I don’t know if I have been lucky or the situation has improved. <br /><br />In the meanwhile I would definitely report your concerns to Rogers. See this link https://www.rogers.com/web/content/contactus <br /><br />You can contact me at adnetinalgoma@gmail.com if you want to discuss the issue on one-on-one basis.Hermeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17631857327069733811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2815284624481726904.post-12839317393549705512011-10-27T17:44:27.860-04:002011-10-27T17:44:27.860-04:00I don't know if this is still relevant to this...I don't know if this is still relevant to this thread, but the speed via a Rogers hub on the Soo North towers also went downhill in the last few weeks (for me). I went from a "reasonable" (slow but steady and usable) signal throughout September to pretty much nothing in October (occasionally I can connect, when I can it's dog slow and drops). The purchase of the hub (based on the initial successes over a few weeks) is now a big disappointment. Can I assume that a TBaytel congestion issues reported here are also a Rogers issue (they're on the same infrastructure, are they not...?).

This usually means that access speeds tend to slow down in the evenings and weekends when more users are on the network but it can also occur at other times of intense activity. <br /><br />There are also technical design issues with the 3G/4G HSPA networks that can affect the speed.<br />In addition, as noted in the main post, Tbaytel has been tweaking the network in other areas that may have an impact on speed.<br />Tbaytel stated they are aware of the problem and are working diligently to correct them. <br /><br />Nevertheless, I recommend keeping the pressure on by contacting Tbaytel to report the congestion whenever it occurs. The customer care number is 807-623-4400 or 1-800-264-9501.Hermeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17631857327069733811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2815284624481726904.post-23505865941219577532011-10-22T09:20:18.846-04:002011-10-22T09:20:18.846-04:00A Tbaytel media release refers to the connection a...A Tbaytel media release refers to the connection as a “strategic business relationship”. Some more information about how this relationship works can be found in a media release posted on the Tbaytel website at http://www.tbaytel.net/media/news/TBayTel News Release - Sept 1.pdf . <br /><br /> <br />The media release goes on to say “The co-branding will strategically position the two companies to offer their customers access to TBayTel’s [sic] unparalleled regional network, Rogers’ reliable Canada-wide network, world-wide roaming and the latest in mobile content and handsets.” <br /><br />While the wording of the release would infer an equality of customer access to the two networks, it seems that while Rogers customers and hardware have unfettered access to the Tbaytel network, while Tbaytel customers and hardware do not have the reciprocal relationship with the Rogers network. <br /><br />While this elephant to mouse relationship is understandable, it may be problematic for users located in the transitional area between the two networks. This is especially applicable to those that work in one area, and live in another or have a seasonal home in a different area. A solution that allowed unrestricted access in the local calling area associated with the transition zone would provide the flexibility users are seeking.Hermeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17631857327069733811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2815284624481726904.post-7454839379685762232011-10-22T06:58:15.783-04:002011-10-22T06:58:15.783-04:00I have a Tbaytel Rocket Hub.
