The new high-speed data network is available in the area of Ontario known as the Golden Horseshoe, spanning from the greater Toronto metropolitan area to Niagara Falls. Rogers claims that their HSDPA network is the fastest wireless network in the country. Currently Rogers is only offering HSDPA access for laptops by way of the Sierra Wireless AirCard 860."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/Temporale-Rogers.gif" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/> <br /><br />Great news! Well, not really, but it's a start. It will be nice to see them expand this to more than just Sierra Wireless AirCards.

You're right it does. I thought Rogers was doing something to limit access, but I've talked with some guys using 3G phones and it's all good.
