T-Mobile will never come to canada. stop those rumours.

The Crtc only allows companies outside Canada 45% ownership to any cell networks. Rogers began with an americain partner when they first started.

T-mobile must be dedictaed to their own lines/servers and must be 100% OWN BY THEIR AMERICAN ip. sADDLY THEY WILL NEVER EXHIST IN cANADA.

Rogers is a monopoly here in Canada, they control Fido and rules the GSM network. It is a “Take it or leave it” situation. Other carriers like Telus or Bell gives you unlimited internet access for only $15/month, I could have switched if they weren’t running CDMA phones. I can’t wait until Telus goes GSM and when T-Mobile invades Canada in 2009. Finally some competition against Robbers.

I have the 6GB plan, and over the first two months here I have only used 250MB and 500MB! and I surf every day on my commute and often when I am relaxing at home. I also have been using the google maps app a fair bit.

Also some times listen to last.fm and watch youtube.

I am still trying to figure out how I can use that data up without tethering a full PC to the phone.

Oops, I meant “Rogers”. Obviously I’ve been reading too much about Green Bay’s new starting QB…

I dont understand why the amount of text messages are so low! especially on a phone like this where it is so incredibly easy to create texts, it doesn’t make sense. (it *does* since its rogers, but you know)

Remember, these prices don’t include provincial and federal sales taxes, nor that sleazy “system access fee” rogers charges.

When factored in, the real price to the consumer is in fact $76.33 / $93.43

It is odd to have a positive spin on the story. Taking away the 6GB option and replacing it with a choice of 1GB or 2GB – according to my calculations, this is worse. The 400mb limit you speak of is a straw man. Why don’t you add that chocolate rations have been increased well. Rogers is not a benevolent company; I used to have a great unlimited data plan with Fido until Rogers bought the company and took it away from me. Not cool.

I’m never moving to Canada. In the US i have a family plan with 5 lines with 2 iPhone 3G’s and 1 blackberry. Shared 3,000 minutes, unlimited data, unlimited text and unlimited N&W only comes to $283.45 every month.

You Canadians are getting raped.

Actually looks pretty good to me. To use 6GB on iphone takes some dedication in my estimation.

These plans are still an insult to my intelligence. As soon as that 6GB for 30$ is out, we’re back to square 1 : PURE RAPE.

Thanks for nothing Robbers.
