Sorry, I should have explained that a little better... legitimate usage...... and that includes using Amazon unbox on my Tivo.. which admittedly is not HD yet, I am sure my content usage would go up at that point...

Re: Aside from the other issues involved...

and what is this proving? the RIAA are the real pirates stealing from the artists.

this is about CONTROL and to remove a residential customer and only offer a business class and greed.

I don't think the RIAA has anything to do with Roger's capping, if I'm not mistaken.

yup especially considering Rogers is Canadian, and the Recording Industry Association of America might have little pull in Canada but I could me mistaking since any Canadian artist of notoriety inevitably signs to an American label.... is there an RIAC????

The lightest package, you can use your consumption in 1/2 day ?

Kbps	KB/sec	KB/day		MB/day	GB/day	Allowance
512	64	5529600		5400	5.27	2.5 GB
1024	128	11059200	10800	10.55	25GB
7168	896	77414400	75600	73.83	60GB
10240	1280	110592000	108000	105.47	95GB
18432	2304	199065600	194400	189.84	95GB

It'll take you 1 day to download that Fedora Core ISO, and you will have used 2x your consumption .. sheesh. :uhh:

Lite with 25GB cap is somewhat more reasonable
10800MB/day, would at least give 2.5 days of continous download
