Rogers cranks it up a notch

Following up on yesterday's posts [here and here] about the speed of high speed, I received word this past week that Rogers has increased the speeds on its internet services.

The core product, Express ($45), now delivers 7 Mbps, which is almost the same bit rate as Rogers Extreme (at 8 Mbps for $53). For serious gamers and movie downloading, Rogers Extreme Plus delivers 18 Mbps for $100.

The cable companies are keeping pressure on the telcos - when will we see fibre to the home in Canada?
