For those hard pressed Rogers folks here is a news update.
http://www.p2pnet.net/story/15300Earlier today, I spoke to representatives from Rogers, who advised that they are implementing new caps and fees for broadband customers.
In letters going out this week, the company will advise that their “Express” service will have a 60 GB monthly cap with an overage charge of $2 per GB up to $25 per month. The company promises to provide customers with email warnings as they approach their cap and to provide tools to easily identify Internet usage.
While I have no particular problem with this approach, when I asked whether it would be combined with an end to traffic shaping, the response was no.
When I asked whether Rogers would at least provide greater transparency about its network management practices, I was advised that it was working on the issue.
So it seems they are once again offering a shoddy deal to the end user in exchange for hard cash, I strongly urge Rogers customers to change providers for your own sanity, Rogers are not worth the increased phone bill to their technical excuses dept.
