    you have 6GB for $30, so do you expect $5 for 1gb data?

    if pricing were to make sense, they should have some data plan at every $5 price point on the low end and then $10 price point on the higher end… something like this.
    250mb $5
    500mb $10
    1gb $15
    2gb $20
    6gb $30
    10gb $40
    15gb $50

    @poly your list makes sense from a consumer’s point of view and I would personally like to see prices like that but a great number of people rarely go over 1gb, rogers gets that extra $15 out of everyone, there’s no reason for them to offer anything lower…

    The $150 plan is more for freelancer photographers, writers, etc. It is a lot, but it they expect photographers to tether their laptops to their phones for the purpose of filing photos or video, they’ll need a plan that can handle up to 30megs worth of data at one time.

    Rogers doesn’t listen to complaints very often, but they do listen to industry when they believe there’s a market for them. This is something most people won’t consider, but will bring in a small niche market that has nowhere else to go and can write off the expense or in the case of news photographers, writers and videographers, have their company cover the cost.

    Please, o please give me tethering. I promise to be good and stay within my limits at peak times…

    I'm disgusted with Robbers, and I plan to change my home internet provider out of principle. I hope more and more competition come into Canada and take away all of Robbers customers who have been basically crapped on because of their monopoly. Only then will Robbers realize their mistake, but by then, I won't be going back even if they allow unlimited download.
