Im really glad to see they care so much

| If they lose 8% of their users, who will violate the cap, then the remaining users will see a better service. Of course they don't care. |

i am soo happy rogers isn't in vancouver anymore, what a bunch of a$$holes. |
|
|
|
| That being said, without seeing full headers and stuff, I am somewhat skeptical that was actually Rogers that wrote that and isn't this dude just being a troll. |

notice where it says "enjoy your search for a new provider"...the "e" in "enjoy" is not capitalized and i am sure it would have been, if the email was real...had he paid a little more attention to detail, he may have fooled more people-but we are all too smart for that

Also pay attention to the Dear ******, they would usually address you by first and last name. Or Mr or Mrs. The b in best of luck is not capitalized also.
And I do not think customercare@shoprogers.com would send such emails, it would mostly be customercare@rci.rogers.com etc. I doubt this is a valid letter.

London, ON | good eye...you are right, they wouldn't say "dear mr suchandsuch"...only loved ones call each other "dear", not business contacts-well, most business contacts anyway.

just post what they really said. |

Not that it really matters anyway... Rogers would be completely within their right to reply in such a manner. An online petition is not legally binding. If it doesn't have signatures, it's not a real petition. Hence them saying "It won't affect us" is very true.
Having said that, I'm sure a company as large as Rogers would never have made such a response. It's just not good business to be so rude. Rogers would respond with a concession that, yes, there is (or will be) a cap, with an explanation of why there is a cap, and that most providers are headed in that direction to cover the cost of high speed internet. Then they would go on to talk about all of the many benefits you have by being a Hi-Speed subscriber yada yada yada. |

If it was a roger's tech guy at phone support that responded than I might believe it. God those guys are idiots! |

| reply to CountMacaroni
I agree, but they're also scripted... if you've ever called more than once for the same problem, you'll notice they always ask you the same questions, and subsequently you never get any further towards solving your problems. |
