===2000s: Growth and relationship with Yahoo!=== By the year 2000, the service was rebranded to Rogers@Home and availability was extended to more cities in [[Ontario]] and [[British Columbia]].<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.shoprogers.com/store/cable/athomecontent/atHome.asp | title=Rogers@Home | publisher=Rogers Communications | access-date=2012-01-21 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20000517132648/http://www.shoprogers.com/store/cable/athomecontent/atHome.asp | archive-date=2000-05-17}}</ref> In 2004, Rogers partnered with [[Yahoo!]] to offer Rogers Yahoo! Hi-Speed Internet to its members. This included service offers unlimited e-mail storage, plus access to Premium Yahoo! Services at no charge, including a [[Flickr]] PRO account. Customers with websites previously hosted by Rogers were offered the option of transferring to ca.geocities.com addresses. (Unike regular GeoCities websites, these were ad-free for existing accounts, although those for new customers had drop-down ads.)<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14811144|title=Geocities Web Space without Ads - Subthread moved - Rogers - DSLReports Forums|website=DSL Reports|access-date=14 April 2018}}</ref> All such websites were discontinued with the closure of [[GeoCities]] on 27 October 2009. Although still partnered with Yahoo!, Rogers dropped Yahoo! from its services name in 2008.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.neowin.net/forum/lofiversion/index.php/t618894.html|title=NeoWin forums|website=neowin.net|access-date=14 April 2018}}</ref> In mid-2009, Rogers discontinued giving free Flickr Pro accounts to all Rogers customers and switched all accounts to the free version while allowing old pictures and videos to be stored even though it was over the allowed limit. Rogers Mail accounts continue to be provided by Yahoo!.
