Rogers Ordered to Stop Throttling WoW and Other Games

The Canadian Radio-television Telecommunications Commission issued an order yesterday to Rogers Communications giving the internet provider until September 27 to formulate a plan to cease throttling online games such as World of Warcraft, reports the Calgary Herald. Noting that Rogers own traffic management policy states that "online games, such as World of Warcraft, should not be throttled or slowed down, and would only be affected if Rogers misclassifies the games and other peer-to-peer applications were running at the same time." For its part, Rogers states it has corrected the issue with World of Warcraft and is "not aware of any problems with any other online games." Thanks Ant via Slashdot.

The only disadvantage of 3rd parties is there's higher initial setup costs because you have to buy the modem up front for usually around $100.
All depending, some 3rd party companies will waive or cut the signup fee if you pick up a modem from them too. TS cut half the signup fee from me when I bought a modem from them. Plus cut half the cost of the modem if I was willing to have my line actively monitored for problems in my area for the first month. I was the first signup in my area(smallish area of 45k people).
