Using minutes outside of your zone meant paying a per...
Rogers noted the other day, that the Rogers and Fido tethering promo announced last summer will been extended. The original expiry date was set for December 31st, so that's a pretty darn good extension for the promotion. There is no official press documents on the Rogers website as of yet, but details are as follows:...
At first I thought my iPhone was acting up. But after experiencing multiple dropped calls, intermittent cutting in and out when dialling, and confirmation via twitter (people exploding over this issue), I can finally say Rogers/Fido is experiencing some major network issues! Here is a sampling of some tweets I've received: no fido connection in...

As of November 5, 2009, the four major Canadian wireless carriers consisting of Rogers, Fido, Bell, and Telus are all finally running HSPA+ with network speeds of up to 21Mbps. For a country that is traditionally viewed as behind the technology curve, I feel pretty good about this. Not only do our four main carriers...
Bring on the iPhone "competition" in Canada, eh! Looks like Bell has started airing their own iPhone commercials on TV. The following commercial was aired on G4 Tech TV, and was ripped by the one and only, RoryPiper. This branded iPhone commercial only shows Bell at the end, with no mention of Rogers, Fido, or...
When Telus and Bell announced they would be debuting a shared HSPA+ network, everyone assumed the iPhone would be coming. Shortly afterwards, Telus and Bell confirmed they would be selling the iPhone. Exclusive Early Bird iPhone Price Plans for Telus and Bell (plus new Rogers/Fido plans) Our anonymous tipsters have provided some early leaks of...
Usually we get the occasional Roger/Fido spam in our email inboxes, but it's not uncommon to get a text message too. The latest Rogers/Fido text that Canadian iPhone users have been receiving from coast to coast involves updating to OS 3.1. Should I Update My iPhone to OS 3.1? Now this may seem repetitive, but...
Let's add more fuel to this fire shall we. As we reported this morning, the Rogers website had a clear indication that it was selling an 8GB iPhone 3GS (remember, the 3GS only comes in 16/32GB capacities). Below is a screen shot of that web page from Rogers.com: Yummy. Rumor Control Well everyone figured this...
Happy Monday everyone. Let's get started with our Monday iPhone Rumor of the day! Do you have an iPhone 3GS? We all know by now that there are two choice for capacity with the new 3GS: 16GB and 32GB. However, the Rogers website seems to have had a mind on its own and is currently...
The iPhone 3GS has some extra horsepower under the hood compared to the iPhone 3G. This was revealed in yesterday's iPhone 3G vs 3GS boot up speed comparison. Another reason why people want the iPhone 3GS is the increased network speed over 3G. Today's video will primarily focus on Rogers 3G network speeds. It will...
"History repeats itself." That's one quote you hear over and over, and I think it's safe to apply this to yesterday's less than stellar iPhone 3G S launch by Rogers. Last year, Canadians lined up coast to coast to get their hands on the first ever iPhone launched in Canada. You would think Rogers would...
