Rogers Responds: Offers 6GB, $30 iPhone Plan
Though it's only available until August 31...

Rogers announced their launch of the iPhone by informing customers they'd need to sign three year contracts, and that their data tiers would come with 400MB ($60), 750MB, ($75) 1GB ($100) or 2GB ($115) caps. Whether due to non-existent anger at Apple or just plain old consumer angst, Rogers appears to have slightly buckled to pressure on pricing. According to a press release issued today by the company, they're running a limited time promotion for a $30, 6GB cap, three-year contract data plan:

quote:
Effective July 11, and as a limited time promotional offer for customers who activate by August 31 on a three year contract, a data-only offering of 6GB of data for $30 per month is being made available that can be added to any in-market voice plan. For example, with 6GB of data, iPhone 3G users can visit 35,952 web pages, or send and receive 157,286 emails, or watch 6,292 minutes of YouTube videos each and every month.(xx)
As I mentioned recently, you know you're talking quality when your carrier's marketing department measures your broadband connection by the number of e-mails you can send. Apparently Rogers was intimidated by your complaints just enough to run a limited promotion, but not enough to permanently change their pricing model.

Not too bad.

6GB per month. Or as US carriers would say, unlimited + 1GB.
