Rogers is keeping up with the growing needs of its Internet-surfing customers. The company has announced its 50Mbps DOCSIS 3.0-based service. That means that not only Comcast’s customers can enjoy fast internet in the USA but also Canadians can now get the same service. Unfortunately for Rogers’ customers the initial roll out will cover a limited area, the Greater Toronto Area. Other regions will get the new service in the following months but we have really no clear information on what markets will receive it.

You will need new gear to get that DOCSIS 3.0 service running. Rogers will launch its first 802.11n modem, which will be available for free for the first 50 people signing up for the service. After that the N Gateway, that’s what they call it, will cost $200.
