A reader tipped me off to the fact that Rogers appears to be on the verge of increasing their upload speeds in parts of Ontario. The reader in question pointed me to this document on CRTC website (Warning: ZIP File) which has a Microsoft Word file that contains this text:
- On November 1, 2023, Rogers Communications Canada Inc. (“Rogers”) is announcing new available upload speeds for customers in certain areas of Ontario. Pursuant to paragraph 209 of Telecom Decision 2006-77, Rogers hereby files TN 81 updating the available services:
- 50Mbps Upload (U) / 50Mbps Download (D)
- 150Mbps Upload (U) / 150Mbps Download (D)
- 150Mbps Upload (U) / 500 Mbps Download (D)
- 150Mbps Upload (U) / 1,500 Mbps Download (D)
- These speeds are only available in certain areas of the network where Rogers has invested in the capability to provide these upload speeds. Services with higher upload speed will be available in areas where network augmentation has occurred and will replace the corresponding lower upload speed service. As there is no change to the download speed available Rogers is not proposing a change to the tariff rates for these services.
Now I did have a look at Rogers press release website and didn’t see an announcement regarding this. I also had a look at their Twitter account and didn’t see anything there either. So I have to wonder if Rogers hit some sort of snag when it comes to rolling these new upload speeds out, or they simply chose not to announce it. Either way, it’s clear that Rogers is up to something. Though, the cynic in me is also thinking that these speeds still don’t match what Bell has to offer. And that still leaves Rogers at a competitive disadvantage relative to Bell. Still, I suppose any speed increase is a good one. Whenever it arrives.
