RN Malboeuf 12 Posted December 3, 2001 alot of @Home is Owned my Rogers, all the ones they Own are fine Rogers@home Shaw@home I asked about Excite and they Said they are owned by Rogers and Rogers owns Lycos as well, So I can't see them going under so Excite should recover unless Rogers kicked them out Rogers is the Candian Version of Turner (Ted), #### they're even buddies Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigQEd 0 Posted December 5, 2001 Malboeuf... hardly... Rogers would own very little if ANY of NOONE@HOME. Do not post about stuff you do not know. Rogers I would say has a better handle on things than AT&T, COX and COMCAST but only because they are smaller. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WisdoM 1 Posted December 5, 2001 Whats going on with @home anyway? My cable provider bought a 90day contract, so the serivce stays up, until they find a new buyer er some s**t, so why didnt everyone do this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RN Malboeuf 12 Posted December 5, 2001 lol@eddy http://www.rogers.com/english/other/other.html Yes Wisdom I just read that Excite did the same thing, they all did here, I found a Rogers Page that said that Rogers owns the @home network in Canada and 25% in the US, you need to be a Rogers Employee and log in on that site to actually see that informations, Rogers has a Employee News letter that states this very fact, Since my Uncle is a Rogers Employee he showed it to me. Ted Rogers has allot of ownership in American Cable and @home services regardless of what Eddy says Tsk tsk Eddy, not up to date are you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WisdoM 1 Posted December 5, 2001 When the service is bought out, doesnt it normmaly get worse teh first few months? But my Cable co. is all aobut pleasing the customer, so maybe they will do some better stuff *crosses fingers* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigQEd 0 Posted December 5, 2001 TSK TSK... Where does this (from the link you gave): "Its highly-successful ventures include the Quicken.ca personal finance site, the Electric Library Canada subscription-based online research service, and the Rogers@Home cable modem access product." say Rogers owns a lot of Excite@Home? It mentions Rogers@Home and doesn't even say the level of investment. Which again Rogers would own very little if any of Excite@Home... and if they did own some they are just down right stupido... Furthermore this tells me that they don't even know HOW to invest. What the #### is this stuff... it's like penny ante sh_it. Man you are so off... stop spewing SH_IT about something you know NOTHING about. STOP! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigQEd 0 Posted December 5, 2001 Yes expect some major waves in the future with Cable access. AT&T is looking to dump their cable and move to a DSL platform. This is not new news... just read the Tech Sector daily and you will see this stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RN Malboeuf 12 Posted December 5, 2001 Shared Cable in the larger Cities does suck, but I live in a small city 65,000 so we don't have to worry about it much if I did live in a larger City I'de pay for higher end DSL or Wireless. as long as it was fast, I would not care if criminals saw me pay my bills in 128 bit encryption, they would have to sort it out from all the MP I play at home Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Col Rambo SBS 0 Posted December 5, 2001 look, what this game needs is for one or two of you guys with yer superdooper mega turbo connections to put up and leave running a dedicated server that can cope with loads of players with decent maps.

BigQEd 0 Posted December 6, 2001 Malboeuf... man are you an idiot? Rogers doesn't own 100% of Excite@Home! That is idiotic to even say... first off it is a PUBLIC company meaning it was traded on the Market (before bankruptcy). Second AT&T owns like 23%. Third... what get a clue??? Man stop the spewing... just admit you have no clue about things of this nature and shut up and leave it at that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RN Malboeuf 12 Posted December 6, 2001 1st off I don't think you understand the many areas of the Excite network <-----key word here I never said it 100% of Excite, I said 100% Excite@home, you know the subject we are discussing there are different areas, #### our major ISP here MTS.Net owns part of the excite network as well, Rogers does not like them and almost sued them for several reason (has to do with not allowing Call Display to Rogers Cell Phones) this would have resulted in Rogers actually buying out MTS and then owning, it, MTS just barely escaped, if you knew about this you would have known this was a nother step to owning more of the excite network <--- key word, which in turn giving Rogers the ability to buy several other companies you in no way up to date best lay off the Flaming, it does not help your claims, open your eyes and learn to read man, your starting to jump the gun and make a fool of your self I don't need to Flame to have a civilzed arguement if you noticed >>>>>>you need to be a Rogers Employee and log in on that site to actually see that informations, Rogers has a Employee News letter that states this very fact, Since my Uncle is a Rogers Employee he showed it to me.
