Trying to convince fellow users to use 1 TB is just gonna: 1) hinder other users connections and suck up all the bandwith, 2) piss off Rogers into taking even more drastic measures and 3) get you'reself booted from the service.
Best bet is waiting and see'ing if Rogers comes up with something. |

Better read your agreement with them.... They can change the service anytime & anyway they want and your only recourse if you don't like it is to cancel.

| There certainly was a limit just defined by Rogers as "to not impact the use of the service by others" and "not cause an excessive load on the system".
Now in addition to those limits which still exist, there's also the "Hard limit" which they aren't enforcing. |

well far as I know like most terms of survive stuff rogers said at the bottom we can change anything we like. Also good luck taking them to court and trying to win. That will cost you a good bit.
Also I download and upload allot and I've yet to get near the cap. |

However, the issue of false advertisement still remains.
If you have a cap of 60G per month, what the hell remains "unlimited" to call their service "unlimited". I would have no problem if the service would be called 60G HighSpeed Internet. I do have a problem if the service is called "Unlimited" HighSpeed Internet. |

Actually taking Rogers to court should not cost you that much. Since the value of your claim will likely be bellow $10,000 dollars, you can sue them in the Small Claims Court. For that, you do not need the services of a lawyer, you can do it yourself. Or you can hire a paralegal to do it for you.
At the end of the day, if you win, you will be able to recoup part of your costs. If they win, you will have to pay them costs. Small Claim costs are not that terrible, they are around $300-400 dollars.
So, as you see, not that terrible. |
