1 edit | Doubt it's because of Netflix I still really, REALLY doubt this has anything to do with the Netflix announcement. If it were, I don't think we would have seen these changes being live in less than 48 hours from said announcement.
I think it's far more likely that this is "just" a regular screw-the-customer change, without Netflix being even a remote factor in the decision making behind this change. Rogers has more than enough disdain for their customers to make this change without having to add in a conspiracy theory.
Though I will admit that picturing this decision being made with the type of boardroom scene you'd see with Dr Evil in Austin Powers is far more amusing.
Edit: Not that I'm saying that this makes their actions any better - the end result is still the same either way. I just don't think Netflix was a reason they considered. |

kudos:3 | I have to agree with you.
I doubt that an ISP is going to revamp its whole model over NetFlix alone anyway.. they have many other reasons, what ever they may be, to pull something like this.
On the surface, it's pretty clear that it gets cheaper to provider internet as time goes on, so on the surface, such a major drop in the caps is just not logical.
Second, it's a pretty well established notion that cable operators aren't able to do ANYTHING that quickly -so it's likely that this was already in the works for a while now. |
