Rogers iPhone Data Value Pack Let's take a trip back to June 2009. In June, Rogers added MMS to their Value Packs and the changes went like this: $20 Smartphone Value Pack (was $15)...

Rogers has officially announced its plans to begin a 21Mbps HSPA+ network roll-out across Canada, making it the first wireless carrier to offer these speeds in North America (Canada wins again, in North America anyway). Rogers 21Mbps HSPA+ Network The current network speed for Rogers 3G is up to 7.2Mbps, but as many of you...

As my favorite TV personality would say, "WAKE UP BIG BOY!" (Bonus points if you post the answer below.) We Canadians, as proud as we are, have been lamenting the 3G network speeds coming from our master Rogers Wireless (which means Fido too!). We have had numerous posts detailing the various speeds locally in Vancouver,...

If you are going to read any post today, make it this one. Many of the changes that Rogers Wireless implements to its service affect only new customers that begin service with Rogers on the policy change date. Usually existing customers are unaffected. However, that is not always the case. This week on July 7,...

As many of you know, July 7 2009 is the day that Rogers Wireless will begin charging for incoming text messages. We observed this change last year with Telus and Bell.

Below you find the latest Rogers Wireless plans for iPhone 3G/3GS for July 2009. The information below will not include the specifically labeled "iPhone 3G plans" from Rogers that cost $60 and $75 per month because when compared to the other plans, they do not offer a good enough value. Please note that these plans...

Dare I even say it...I think we are up to number 8 now (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) in the pain Rogers Wireless is delivering to their customers. Effective July 19, 2009, Rogers Wireless will be decreasing their Buyers Preference and Buyers Remorse policies from 30 days to 15 days and decreasing their...

I would really love to get the data rate on my new iPhone 3GS to hit 7.2 mbit/s, like Rogers advertises. Unfortunately, the reality is that we’ll never be able to hit that speed as the network can’t handle it. On my iPhone 3G I remember getting download speeds of about 4800 kbits/s. With the...

In yet another fantastic (read: sarcasm) financial move in alienating (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) their customers over the last few months, Rogers Wireless has put another nail into their coffin. Effective July 3, 2009, the Rogers Wireless Insider EPP Plan will have its early evening clock that is currently at 6PM raised to...
