Canadian Cable Territories
See also: List of Rogers Digital Cable ChannelsRogers Cable's territories now consist of: most larger communities in Newfoundland and Labrador, virtually the whole of New Brunswick, selected areas of eastern Quebec near the New Brunswick border (including Carleton-sur-Mer), and, in Ontario: nearly all of the Toronto area as well as the areas of Ottawa, London, Kitchener-Waterloo, and Barrie. With the Rogers takeover of Aurora Cable Internet, Aurora, Ontario, along with most areas in York Region will also be added in the Canadian cable territories area.
Over the years, and at various times, Rogers has owned all or part of various cable operators serving areas across Canada, including Vancouver, Victoria, Calgary, Northern Ontario, and the Hamilton area. All of the systems in Western Canada were traded to Shaw Communications in late 2000 in exchange for that company's assets in Ontario and New Brunswick, and many of the others were sold to Cogeco.
Rogers also provides broadband Internet access, co-marketed with Yahoo!. The company employs traffic shaping and has been widely criticized for this.
