| The way I see it Without having read all the comments, if this was already mentioned, meh. The overages are only to a maximum of $25 a month, or so I'm told by level one tech support. We all know how reliable they are. So for an extra $25 a month, I get unlimited download, it sucks, but it's better than a $600 bill that I wasn't expecting.
Also look at it this way. I'm paying Rogers to provide me with TV, movies via TMN, and internet. What difference does it make if I get my TV at the prescribed time, via DVR, or via internet? Same for movies. If I watch a movie at 9PM, or DVR it and watch it later, what's the difference if I download the same movie and watch it later? I'm paying Rogers to provide me content, not dictate how or when I consume the content.
There is the argument that by not watching the commercials I'm stealing the content, but they're commercials, and I don't care. If I see one that's interesting I'll watch it. 98% of the rest that aren't interesting I'll fast forward, or flip channels, or leave the room to pee, or get a drink. Product placement is already a reality so I get plenty of commercialism during the actual broadcast. Not to mention the commercials I can't skip when I do go to a theatre to watch a movie. |
