Re: New Portable Internet/Phone from Rogers

I've been doing a lot of phoning Rogers this week. One technical support guy really seemed to know what he was doing so I mentioned the phone and internet problem to him. He stated the phone...

Re: New Portable Internet/Phone from Rogers

Since I'm on the phone with Rogers, I decided to ask about this. Apparently, if you have 3G, both the phone and Internet will work at the same time. On a 2G, it may not.

We have our phone...

Re: New Portable Internet/Phone from Rogers

I'm glad it's working for you Mark. It's too bad there isn't a 3G tower a little closer but I noticed NB doesn't have much 3G coverage. Just the main 3 cities from what I can see. Having over 100k...

Re: New Portable Internet/Phone from Rogers

I purchased a simular antenna for mine but it didn't make much of a difference. This is the one I purchased:

I have several...

Re: New Portable Internet/Phone from Rogers

Did it arrive yet? If not, I would call Rogers. When we ordered our Hub, they canceled the order on us because they had to do a credit check. Of course, they didn't let us know. I found it funny...

Re: New Portable Internet/Phone from Rogers

I think the "other" is Bell. For example, Manitoba has Manitoba Telephone System (MTS) but that is the same as Bell. I think Manitoba only has Rogers and MTS but there is Telus in Winnipeg but they...

Re: New Portable Internet/Phone from Rogers

Hopefully everything works out for you Mark. I purchased a backup battery pack for mine so if I enable the phone, I can still have it working if there is a power outage. Unfortunately, the battery...

Re: New Portable Internet/Phone from Rogers

I was pointed to a website you might be interested in if you are still curious about Xplornet.

Re: New Portable Internet/Phone from Rogers

Gotta love those contracts they get you with. It took 2 years of really bad Internet before we could cancel it. Once your contract runs out with Rogers and if you go with Bell, I wish you all the...

Re: New Portable Internet/Phone from Rogers

It's obvious you work for Bell or something. You are basing rural coverage on your cellphone. I have had no problems with coverage on my Rogers phone and I go out to Conservation Areas too. I've...

Re: New Portable Internet/Phone from Rogers

Like I said before, each person has their preferences. If you check the Portable Internet HSPA coverage, Bell is way behind Rogers. Bell doesn't even have Manitoba or Saskatchewan covered and is...

Re: New Portable Internet/Phone from Rogers

Bell does have a mobile Internet like the Rogers Rocket Stick but it is pricey for now. As far as coverage, Bell and Rogers are about the same in Ontario. I looked at the Rogers coverage map and...

Re: New Portable Internet/Phone from Rogers

Just in case anyone is interested in the size of the Rocket Hub, here are a couple pictures of mine. You can see by the rear photo there are 4 wired ports and the phone plug. According to the...

Re: New Portable Internet/Phone from Rogers

All I have to say is, we had Xplornet and it has to be the worst Internet provider. We signed up for the 300k plan but only got 30k download speed even though we were told we could get consistant...

Re: New Portable Internet/Phone from Rogers

I now have the Rocket Hub working and it is nice. The hub is basically the size of my hand. All I had to do was plug it in and it was working. Right now, I'm getting a signal of 2 to 3 out of 5...

Re: New Portable Internet/Phone from Rogers

We just ordered this Rocket Hub for Internet. We're still contemplating about the phone. When it arrives, I'll post information about it.

I had to do something because my Internet provider has...

New Portable Internet/Phone from Rogers

I am having problems with my home Internet provider and since I live rural, I don't have much choice. In searching, I noticed Rogers has a new Rocket Hub which has portable Internet anywhere a...
