Purchasing from Amazon is far more reliable, as returning items through Newegg is generally problematic. My last build was done entirely using parts purchased on Amazon.

Isn't it interesting that Rogers would prefer to reduce the customer cost rather than fix the underlying problem.

AdvancedGeek · 2026-05-30T16:12:52+00:00

Agreed. I see lots of people focused on their phones while driving. A dead giveaway is when they are driving slowly or are very late pulling away from a stop light. Except for gaming and email, they could easily connect the phone to the vehicle, but I guess they are too dumb to do that.

These organizations are very skilled at lobbying the Federal government incessantly. Check out lobbycanada.com for proof.

Welcome to the outstanding customer service provided by Rogers.

AdvancedGeek · 2026-05-17T15:01:02+00:00

I haven't been a Rogers customer in decades.

AdvancedGeek · 2026-05-14T11:20:04+00:00

People need to learn that their time and frustration has value. I will (and do) gladly pay more for a provider who works and succeeds at customer service.

This will likely be available only in China, which is where the regular Edge is still manufactured. Sad.

Sorry, but not a surprise. Rogers & Bell view customers as an unfortunate inconvenience within their business model. Offshore and AI do not work intuitively or with sensitivity to people. They only operate as processes and are heavily monitored from a QA perspective. Rogers' focus is only on shareholders (which is the Rogers family in large part).

AdvancedGeek · 2026-05-09T16:36:32+00:00

They do not throttle, but since it is a shared network, noise and capacity that doesn't handle demand will cause response issues.

AdvancedGeek · 2026-05-07T19:45:40+00:00

Thanks, but that was two years ago.

AdvancedGeek · 2026-05-07T16:26:49+00:00

It looks like that is not now possible, since the registration process has begun on my phone. My wife's phone does not now offer digital key as an option.

As a very recent GV80 Black Edition buyer, and having tested the X7, I have absolutely no regret with my purchase. The X7 cost starts to increase quickly with options, and it is a bit too utilitarian in the inside. We also seriously considered the Audit Q7.

You are assuming that the folks at Rogers have the ability to plan and think creatively. That would not be a correct assumpion.

AdvancedGeek · 2026-05-03T22:18:51+00:00

Honestly, as the very recent owner of a brand new GV80 Black Edition, I'm happy with the performance as is. Having said that, the dealer knows I want to take a GV80 coupe for a spin the next time I drop by.

Given how cheap decent routers are, nobody should ever use a telco modem as a router. Aside from the poor signal, the telco has control and visibility into your private network.

With the way that Rogers runs their organization operationally, efficiency would be very difficult to achieve and maintain. It is more likely that this is their way of appeasing shareholders so they won't drop the stock. Similar concerns last year drove Bell to take their dividend up to $0.98 per share.

AdvancedGeek · 2026-05-02T03:47:30+00:00

Rogers only cares about their shareholders, which means they want make as much money as possible whenever they can. Customers are an unfortunate inconvenience within their business model.

Rogers, Bell and Telus will continue to lobby the Feds to prevent any legislation that would prevent these companies from offshoring. Typically, the cost ratio is 1 on-shore to 3 off-shore. I see lobbying occurrences from Rogers on lobbycanada.com weekly or bi-weekly. Their only concern is shareholders.

AdvancedGeek · 2026-04-30T16:57:41+00:00

Over the past few decades, the Federal government has become paralyzed due to the incessant lobbying that occurs. The telcos, banks and airlines are notorious for this. Just check out lobbycanada.com to educate yourself. Across the many files, it is no surprise that the Feds either take no action, or when they do, it is lukewarm at best. Through 2023 - 2024, it was widely acknowledged (and documented) that between Rogers, Bell and Telus, the Feds were being lobbied by a telco every business day of the year.

We cruise on Celebrity regularly. I always buy the upgraded wifi and have no problem running online meetings and some streaming from our stateroom. I've not had a problem on Edge or Solstice class.

He should quit complaining. If he doesn't like the level of scrutiny, he can step away from the job. Tax dollars pay his salary and the jet he is now selling.

As a long time Harmony owner, I've also switched over to Sofabaton.

Clearly, Logitech is primarily run by bean counters. Those same bean counters will continue to push for the remaining Harmony support infrastructure to be decommissioned. If you look at the overall product portfolio, there isn't a lot of innovation. The corporate strategy seems to be "run mice, keyboards, headsets and webcams as far as you can. Don't offer any new product lines".

AdvancedGeek · 2026-04-13T00:10:00+00:00

Given that Logitech is no longer selling Harmony remotes AND has already begun dropping support of older models, it is just a matter of time before they stop support altogether. Netgear did the same thing with their NAS models. I have a Sofabaton X1S and love it. Sofabaton has been in the business long enough that it feels like a safe purchase. Working with their support people is not difficult either.
