I don't suppose Rogers is testing some kind of UMTS 2100 setup for European roamers in the entire Quebec/Montreal region. Perhaps that network is part of a dual UMTS 1900/2100 test setup.
Theoretically, UMTS is reserved for use in the 1700/2100 Mhz bands in the US as well but as we have seen Cingular is going for the 850/1900 Mhz bands instead.
"The UMTS spectrum allocated by ITU is already used in North America. The 1900 MHz range is used for 2G (PCS) services, and 2100 MHz range is used for satellite communications. Regulators are trying to free up the 2100 MHz range for 3G services, though UMTS in North America will still have to share spectrum with existing 2G services in the 1900 MHz band. 2G GSM services elsewhere use 900 MHz and 1800 MHz and therefore do not share any spectrum with planned UMTS services. Initial rollout of UMTS in Canada will also be handled exclusively by the 1900 MHz band."

Even though the document refers to the US, 1700/2100 Mhz spectrum has been allocated in both countries for later overflow use.
Ericsson is also testing a UMTS/HSDPA network so this might be what Andytel picked up:
