For my business I require a static IP address at my home office. Rogers does not allow you to pay for a static without moving to a business account in which the download speeds are significantly lower. I am not sure I understand why they are doing this. Early next year a company called Teksavvy will be serving my area using the same cable infrastructure. I will be looking into this as they seem to be a lot more flexible than Rogers. Anyone care to comment?
Why is Roger's cable so inflexible?

Hmmm,,,well I'll comment-as for a workaround that might be another matter...The problem is,and always was here in Canada that telecommunications giants have always-and in light of recent CRTC rulings will likely continue to have a stranglehold essentially on the market.So as the Canadian consumer we're forced to buy what they sell-not what we want or need.
At the end of October the CRTC ruled that smaller ISPs (like Teksavvy-see link below) will be capped as far as the bandwidth they can distribute to their subscribers.Basically-since they use the same infrastructure which was put in place by the Rogers, Bell etc. those companies argued it was "unfair" to them.Of course the CRTC being the CRTC agreed...
I'm not sure what your specific situation is regarding a connection-but you could potentially look into a "dynamic DNS service" or if you're the one accessing your home office computer from elsewhere consider a software package like Symantec PCanywhere.
Good luck..
