Rogers caves on iPhone plan pricing!
How’s this for a little community activism? Following a massive public outcry against their criminally high data plan for the upcoming iPhone 3G, Rogers has announced a revised tariff that is much more consumer-friendly. The new plan is being offered on a promotional basis, and offers 6GB of data for $30/month. Sure, it’s nothing close to the unlimited data offered by AT&T for the same amount of scratch, but it’s a sizable improvement over last week’s stats. It seems as if the promotional plan is valid for anyone that activates a new iPhone 3G on a 3-year contract before August 31st. Even so, you might want to go start camping out at your local Rogers dealer, especially if rumors of diminished shipments hold true for launch day. This should make everybody happy.

Let’s Not stop with Rogers, chances are if we stop now, even if we were to get another wireless provider, they too in time would follow suit. Lets just put an end to this once and for all.
Help David Mcguinty do something about it with his bill to ban system access fees, put an end to charges that are not fully explained in your monthly charges and contracts

OK LETS THINK ABOUT IT HERE. DID ANY OF THE AMERICANS HERE READ THEIR AT&T CONTRACT… THE “FAIR USE POLICY” FOR THE “UNLIMITED DATA” IS CAPPED AT 5GB BEFORE YOU GET CHARGED FOR IT… SO IN CANADA OFFERING US 6GB IS EVEN BETTER THEN THE AT&T “HOAX” PLZN OF “UNLIMITED DATA” AT LEAST HERE IN CANADA WE CALL IT LIKE WE SEE IT… SO THANK YOU ROGERS/FIDO FOR THAT EXTRA 1GB OF DATA THAT NO ONE KNOWS ABOUT LOL… AND I THOUGHT PEOPLE ON HERE WOULD KNOW THIS BY NOW.
You think you got it bad? Look at Telstra (Australia) data rates..
Ya, you can’t tether on AT&T. You can on Rogers.
Plus Rogers includes exchange activesync, AT&T doesn’t.
So clearly Rogers $30/6GB is much better than AT&T’s $30 for unlimited**
**not really unlimited, extra charges apply.
