I use an iphone and to let you know 6 gb of data equals unlimited! In one month I barely used even 1 gb and i use it so much!

Dear Rogers,
I would like unlimited data, because I am worried about high overage charges on a capped plan. I won’t buy an iphone until you offer unlimited data. You may wish to protect me from myself, but I am more interested in protecting myself from you.

Sincerely,
Most Canadians

Hey,

I got it, lets all use the limited data, but when we go over, we just say that it couldn’t cost us that much (with a $200 or $300 bill on our hands). Liz said unlimited data wouldn’t be cost effective for us. I want my bill lowered.

So, thank you Liz. I’ll judge based on current market internet bandwidth rates are for shared 7mbps connections and if my bill is over that, you’ll be getting a phone call from me to help me take care of the overage charge, because you specified that unlimited data would be more expensive.

Granted though, you should be fine because I won’t buy. I’m already pissed with Rogers as it is. They call me once per day (I answer every second day) and ask if I want to renew my contract. Each time I say no, and the next day they call again.

Cheers,

Wow…great email, too bad Rogers seems to create these weird connotations about what we want out of thin air. I’m glad we don’t have unlimited, because with it I might just use too much data and have too much fun. Thanks Rogers!

Very interesting. I think the iPhone will be successful for Rogers. Why? Because of their vast marketing reach. Second, most people want something cool. Any what’s cooler than a BB? An iPhone!

Man, that woman makes me livid. She must think we’re all a bunch of chumps. I really, really hope this whole situation blows up in their face.

In the meantime, they now have 9 days left to change their tune, or I’m paying the ECF and leaving Rogers — and I’ll be happy about it.

The worst part is that, many people will indeed buy the iPhone simply because they haven’t bothered doing the due diligence. For them, 400 MB and the pricing will sound about alright. Why do I say this? My best friend is a geek, and he said that he would buy the iPhone no matter what If he thinks that way, I worry that many more people will too!

What a load of crap, could this company be more deluded. I just hope that enough suckers don’t show up on friday to make Rogers feel justified in their pricing.
