Re: downloading over Rogers 3g vs. Rogers Cable... said by the cerberus:Unlimited, doesnt mean there isnt a ridiculously small cap... ... of which exist on just about every cell network in the world. Good luck pulling 20GB on an HSDPA network in the US without having someone do something to make your life miserable.

It costs 84 dollars a month plus tax for a 1.5/500 service, however and was far from cheap- but no caps and low ~80ms ping rates make it a great service. |

I know people who do crazy stuff with Bell EVDO as well. In fact, everyone who I know with a data plan on Telus has an unlimited data plan. Times are changing in this country, that's for sure.
I also know someone with an HSDPA PCMCIA card on Rogers. He has a 250MB data plan. He claims that he has never been billed for downloading more than 250MB, but he has been charged for uploading more than 250MB. Considering the amount of stuff I alone have downloaded over his HSDPA connection, I figure I would have heard something if he had received a bill the size of a phone book.
