Okay, finally got around to downloading the replacement Montreal map and it's currently 404 – anyone else found the same? I've emailed Rogers for their explanation for the absence of the map.

[...] to roaming, the Big Three equivalent would be long distance, especially relevant since they have shrunk their local calling area (WIND’s local calling area is EVERYWHERE they have coverage!). [...]

The URL in the post above linking to detailed maps for Rogers is incomplete. It should be:

http://www.rogers.com/web/content/wireless-plan...

What I'm wondering is, are the maps currently available pre or post changes to the LCA size? I've downloaded the Montreal one now and I'll do so again after the 15th to check if it's changed.

Guess who runs the CRTC?

Former executives of Rogers, Bell, Telus.

So don't expect any changes for the better for the consumer.

We need a government that will shut down the CRTC. It's a waste of $ and completely unnecessary!

Seems like Robbers is accelerating their program to stick it to customers since Ted Rogers passed away…..

It's not going to end anytime soon folks. When will the madness end? Rogers Wireless is the WORST COMPANY EVER!

Read the fine print on their website. It's going to continue into 2010. Shrinking local calling areas charging fees for incoming texts. We are signing 3 yes 3 year contracts that mean nothing to Rogers. How can we be penalized or terminating a contract if Rogers keeps rasimg fees? Who's watching out for consumers? This needs to stop! It won't and the CRTC will crush ant real competition because the big 3 have them bought and paid for. Happy holidays everyone. This Rogers robbery will continue throught the years and years to come.

As much as I like to complain as the next guy, I just took at look at the Fido pages for my area it does not look any different from landline calling areas. Were the offering larger local areas before?

I want to speak to someone about this. Is there not someone in the canadian government that has to approve these types of things? This is robbery and rogers CONSISTENTLY creates new rules to trick their customers into paying more without knowing. The rules of which only ever found in fine print that can be found only in a small corner of the internet.

The fact that they have ATTEMPTED to create a way to keep us informed with out usage but it is STILL broken after MONTHS….MONTHS…. is atrocious I feel like they just have that service in place to say they have it but it just doesn't work right now and they are working on it.

Seriously, who in parliament monitors this?
