I'm currently on dial-up. I dropped Rogers last March after 4.5 years
of high speed internet. I found there were a lot of problems after
the conversion: speed wasn't the best and DN lookups seemed much
slower. Plus I don't need high speed anymore as I'm not in university
anymore--i have better things to do with my time now that i'm working
a real job :)

Anyways what kind of download speeds should someone anticipate with
Rogers Lite? Are the download speeds consistent (not volatile)?

I'd prefer hearing from people who do have the Lite edition. I know
they say 128K. But really, you don't know how the ISP delivers:
theory is one things, reality is another.

Just out of school and as green as grass. Your first question should read
what do you think that drunk ted will cap the lite service at? I would
reply to you if you can't download at least 10 gigabytes a month on the
lite service without getting charged more stick with dial up.

Actually been out of school for 4 years. I've slowly come to realize
that high speed internet isn't worth the money. $50+ per month is
better spent in other places. I would never reach 10GB. My guess is
that i download in the 150-400MB per month.

You'll get your 128kbit/s... that's only 16k/s.

So it's only ~2.5x faster than a 56k modem.

Is this from experience or because you read it was 128k??
