If I make a typo I want to easily correct it - instead Rogers redirect to a spammy SERP and makes it difficult to correct a typo because the address I typed is changed. I am not blaming Yahoo for this, but they are powering Roger's search. It is annoying that Rogers hijacks it like that!

If I type centernetworks into the address bar in anything but Chrome I get this page, 16 sponsored results - 5 organic results: http://www20.search.rogers.com/search?qo=centernetworks&rn=D7RbsD4hvoQPI16&rg= This sort of thing is terrible and misleading. It kills be everytime I am not using Chrome and these pages come up. Rogers up here in Canada has been doing this for a while now.
