I've been charged 180 bux in overages (90 bux a month for the last two months) when I know I didn't use that much bandwidth!
How can you be charged that much if the max is $25/month ?
just wondering. | |

| Re: Rogers Usage This $25 max is a figment of somebody's imagination. There is NO LIMIT currently on the overage charge on Extreme Plus. Look back in the forum and you'll find that one chap was billed $350 after upgrading to E+ ... most of the excess bandwidth consumption actually ocurred while he was on Extreme, so he had to fight to get the bill fixed!
There have been RUMOURS of maximums, but nothing definitive on billing or overages has actually come from Roges apart from the E+ service where they're charging $1.25 per GB with no stated max! | |

| Re: Rogers Usage The cost per GB included in the base rate is actually inaccurate, because you haven't deducted the service cost and the support costs and the "extra services" costs, like email, flickr, website etc.
Of course that makes the overage charges look even worse.
But you have to remember that the under cap prices are based on the AVERAGE consumption and not the max consumption, which will actually push the cost per GB up dramatically.
The cost per GB base on max consumption is probably of the order of pennies per GB. Based on average consumption of around 5GB per month it's probably closer to $1 per gb. | |
