Just Answers - My Experiences With Rogers
In 2005, it was revealed that Rogers engages in packet shaping. Now, I’m well aware that some applications, if not configured properly, can cause major problems on a network, and so they need to be controlled. I’m mainly thinking of peer-to-peer applications used by people who don’t know how to properly configure their programs. I run a small network, and mys

elf and all of my users are painfully aware of the consequences of a poorly-configured peer-to-peer application on the network. I’m OK with a small amount of control over peer-to-peer traffic for this reason. Rogers, however, has gone more than a few steps beyond what is justifiable for network performance. Of course, I’m assuming here that Rogers actually ha

the capability to provide every customer with exactly what their advertised rates are. However, it seems not even their technical support staff are aware of the traffic shaping in effect, or they’re lying to customers. I called in multiple times about this, and one person denied that Rogers uses packet shaping and further said they never would. Two others sa

that Rogers does indeed use packet shaping. One person described the effects as “hardly noticeable” except for “illegal traffic”, while the other said the effects were “up to a 40% reduction” for all encrypted or high-port traffic. I’m sorry, last time I checked, I was paying for Internet access at “up to” the advertised rates, not pointlessly and arbitraril

What’s worse, they aren’t just degrading traffic that’s actually causing network performance problems - they’re simply degrading anything inbound on high ports and any encrypted traffic! This is similar to when two men were removed from a flight for possibly speaking Arabic. Extreme example? Perhaps, but the similarities are there.

In that case, passengers were removed because they might have been speaking a language that is the native language of a terrorist. In this case, users are having traffic degraded because they might be using protocols used by a software pirate.

All traffic shaping devices and commercial-grade firewalls I’m aware of are capable of detecting SSH traffic and selectively applying or not applying shaping rules based on

Neither of these say anything about traffic shaping in any way (at least they didn’t when I downloaded them) although the Acceptable Use Policy does say that no servers are allowed.

All that’s left is to implement a rule that says “any traffic with an external source/destination has a maximum speed of X”.

With all encrypted traffic being degraded, any businesses that depend on VPN technologies for remote users will find themselves with employees unable to connect (or unwilling to deal with the sub-dial-up speeds)
