    Rogers has a small cap, they heavily throttle bittorrent protocol and charge 2 dollars a gig overages.

    This setup is similar to their mobile data plans, and are making the cost to us the consumer outrageous. This is clearly not a good plan for the company after providing a certain type of service for years and then just one day up and changing it. Not good.

    This is the straw that truly breaks the camels back, and I suggest no one use this services regardless of available providers. These are un-trustworthy people, and I suggest unless Mr. Ted Rogers himself fixes this, then he wants to bend us over a barrel and rape us more then the greedy bastards at Bell.

    so inconclusion,

    DO NOT GET THIS SERVICE IF YOU ENJOY DOWNLOADING ANYTHING.
    DO NOT GET THIS SERVICE IF YOU VALUE TRUSTWORTHY COMPANIES.
    DO NOT GET THIS SERVICE IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER OPTION.
    DO NOT GET THIS SERVICE IF YOU LIKE LISTENING TO MUSIC, WATCHING MOVIES OR DOWNLOADING FILES FAST. ROGERS COMMERCIALS LIE, DO WHAT THEY SAY IN A COMMERCIAL AND YOU WILL BE CHARGED BIG BUX WHEN YOU REALIZE IT ADDS UP TO 100GB OF BANDWIDTH YOU'VE USED IN A MONTH.

    DO NOT GET THIS SERVICE.

    IF you download nothing.....

    That's a pretty inaccurate statement. I use newsgroups all the time and get what i want FAST and i typically use 50 -70 gigs per month.

    I guess if you like to download EVERYTHING in sight "just to have" then yes. The cap is too small. But for the average user it's plenty. Hell even the average teksavvy user only uses about 50gigs. And the average teksavvy user isn't the same as the average Rogers user.

    Hey Mr. Anon... You seem to like posting these great pro-rogers retorts.

    Why don't you sign up for an account so people can see how many you are responding to? (and your particular bias)

    Uhhh, this is more like a pro my experience re-tort. To a review that was not even useful since it is pretty much inaccurate for all but may be a hardcore user. Nothing wrong with a little balance.

    And let me ask, if anyone here happens to have a somewhat favorable bias that's a problem? It's seem like it might be to you.

    ...just sayin': choosing a different moniker each time you post is a little silly. Almost like you don't want people to know who you are...

    (Like a guy who sits around all day writing anonymous comments about how people writing negative reviews for Rogers are wrong, and may or may not post useful information in the forums... Smells fishy, ...just sayin').
