Rogers tells some customers it’s boosting data speeds to ‘1Gpbs’

Giga per bit second? That's a silly typo

Rogers has sent out a service message to some customers letting them know their data is getting a free speed boost. However, the company’s message has a pretty silly typo — do they want me to start editing their texts?

In the message to customers, Rogers mistakenly calls it “Gpbs” instead of “Gbps.” The acronym Gbps stands for gigabits per second, so “Gpbs” would be giga per bit second, I guess? Whatever it means, it doesn’t make much sense.

The typo is tiny, and the human brain naturally tends to correct typos like that, so you might not have even noticed. However, if you do a speed test and your data isn’t hitting 1Gbps, then Rogers is in the clear because the company promised 1Gpbs and not 1Gbps.
