May be that Bell has improved its fairly new HSPA network so much that it overwhelms the much older Roger's GSM/HSPA network.
If you have an old sim card this could be consistant with your SOS and low signal another that that I have been noticing is that Rogers has been having some 3G issues in the ONT area with everyone on the 3g network
if you have a SIM card that starts like 8930272030xxxxxxxxxx then get a replacement sim card and try again.
if your sim card shows 8930272040xxxxxxxxxx then it is a current SIM card that should help.

other option you could try is downgrading to the 2G network and see how it works from there
