A reader tipped me off to the fact that Rogers seems to have rolled out 2Gbps downstream Internet speeds. To confirm this, I hopped over to the Rogers website, punched in my address and saw this:
Rogers now seems to have a “Pro 2G” tier to their Internet offering. Previously their top tier was 1.5 Gbps downstream. Also of note is that the upstream speed is now 200 Mbps which is up from 150 Mbps. And this upstream speed appears to be available on their 250 Mbps package and up. Now while this is an improvement for Rogers, it still doesn’t match the speeds of Bell who are capable of doing Gigabit or faster both ways via fibre. Which means that I am pretty sure that Bell isn’t losing any sleep over this move by Rogers.
In terms of availability, it seems to be pretty widespread in Toronto based on some random address lookups that I did. It may be widespread elsewhere as well. Drop a comment below if you’re actually able to get this where you live.
