Re: Bandwidth Alllocation
The Extreme plan currently allows 100GB per month (combined upload and download) which now become only 95GB. Why the clawback of 5GB? That's effectively increasing the price by $7.50 per month (5GB times $1.50/GB usage charge) which is currently included in the monthly allowance.
Rogers increase the price a while ago then increases the download speed to 10 Mbps and finally takes back 5GB.
What their rationale other than nickeling and diming us like the banks are doing to us? |

said by puzz1ed  :I got the letter yesterday. I'm safely under every month but with a marked Hey, I also had a huge spike in January, which is really weird because there was only one person here for most of the month. They said usage in Jan was 120gb, 60 over what I'll be allowed. I doubt that is accurate. |

My counter doesn't match theirs, i'm dissappointed at their "scare" tactics. I'd much rather Microsoft's law office be my penpal.
Like the newb i am, i just got a newer PC and tossed my old one along with the info  |

I got the letter yesterday. I'm safely under every month but with a marked spike in January. Pretty sure it's fairly accurate. My letter say that the overage charges "may" be a concern to me. |

I have received the same letter. In fact it is exactly the same in the fact that the load chart is the same as my letter in so much that graph for Jan. falls right on the same amount!
This makes me wonder as to whether those numbers have any actual metrics behind them!!
In my opinion I think that quite a number of people have been sent the same letter to get the same reaction and that the so called chart has simply been manufactured to produce the same effect of shock! |

Your husband could play games online for 2040 hours per month...? What kinda math is that?
Download 15 HighDef movies a month? (8-12Gb x 15 is 60Gb?)
Send and receive (exactly?) 6,291,456 e-mails, obviously wouldn't matter the length or size of attachments...
1,572,864 (excatly?) web pages, no matter the content?
Yet they can't handle keeping track of our "real" usage...?? |
