Listen Iloverogers don't be down on your knees to much for the Rogers excuvtives clearly your aren't thinking clearly so if you have 1gb for 30 bucks alreAdy a rip off you have to pay to use your bandwidth which you already paid for again to have the privellege of using the data plan you paid for 10 bucks a month on top of already high voice and data plans that range in the average of 80 to 100 bucks so yes there screwing the customer bell and telus plans exceed robbers plans without even trying

Although I'm not happy about the fact that Rogers wants to charge for tethering…I have to disagree with you when you say “They wanna SCREW the current customers”. I can assure you that it's not the intention of Rogers to “screw” anyone. It's all about business, and if you owned the company, and were able to charge for services, I'm pretty damned sure that you would.

Well you're clearly not in the majority judging by all the commenters on this blog.

I will be calling Fido again tomorrow but today I've called them twice and was told that so long as I have the 1gb plan tethering data will be included in my data. Both representatives seemed to indirectly imply that that will occur *so long as I see tethering on the invoice*, i.e. none of them said precisely whether I will be able to tether until I drop the data plan.

Everything in WIND is just temporarily to attract customers.

I think it is still impossible to tether on Fido with a 500MB plan (non jailbroken)!! This royally pisses me off. 500 MB is enough for me with tethering. I have a great plan and don't want to mess that up by upgrading the data. Plus $15 extra just for tethering (upgrade to 1GB plan) just doesn't seem worthwhile.

The CDslash profile change that worked pre 3.1 doesn't work anymore.

Any trick that still works? Would Fido reconsider this dumb exception?

Solution? Jailbreak your phone and use one of the 3rd party tethering options. I haven't bothered jailbreaking my phone as of yet but if they intend on charging for tethering, that's the option I'm going with.

They can't charge us twice. That's just stupid.
