when i used to have sympatico i got 100+ GB over (this is when the policy first started). i just told them that i didnt recieve the email telling me that there would be a bandwith cap implemented (even tho i did) and that i refused to pay it. i then immidiatley cancelled my acct.

doesnt it suck having DSL with a bandwith cap ?

I am on primus right now..their dsl service is unrestricted(no capping..no limit).

Intro offer for 4 months...24.97 and like 42 bucks afterwards. No setup fee.

Hahaha, man, there's an easy solution to this...

You call them up, tell them that you never received any notices about bandwidth caps, and that you refuse to pay that amount... if they start bullshiting you about how you have to pay that, this and that, you tell them to fuck off, cancel your account, and forget about the bill whatsoever! What are they gonna do, pass that on to the collection agency or some shit? Bah... And who says that you have to pay that bill anyway?! I know I will disconnect from Rogers once they introduce the caps and I get a bill of about $300... without paying the bill too!

Trust me, for $320 I'd fight them in court, not just over the phone...

im pretty sure somewhere in the fineprint, it mentions something about the service being able to change without notice

im notsure how you never knew about this cap though
its been there for a couple months
i would've thought someone who's downloading/uploading 65+gigs a month would be the first to know this

They claimed they sent me an e-mail about it but they didn't so I don't even have to lie. They offered to cut the bill in half but I download too much. Maybe Primus is the answer, or something faster then DSL. They're just gonna take it off the credit card like they do for normal billing most likely.

yepps .. Rogers to have caps this summer , it's in their FAQ on their site. and yepps Primus is prolly one of the best DSL companies rite now with no caps ..

and !@#$%%^& .. i live in a DSL blackzone, so i can't even switch off cable to DSL since there's no central office nearby for DSL ..

Primus isnt the only one, there are others if you look REALLY hard. the problem is, these places have HORRIBLE customer service. but once you actually get it.. its worth it.

suggestion: dont EVERYONE sign up for Primus cause if you do, you will rape their bandwith and they will have to put a bandwith cap too.

Originally posted by trance_n_dance $320 extra charge on my DSL this month, fuck. They didn't even say that it had limits when I signed up and they only started charging me for the last 30 days. This is bullshit, can they really just introduce limits and not tell anyone about it? I was never e-mailed or anything about it, the only time I'm e-mailed is when it's about billing information

Downloading too much porn/free music, are we?

...and I believe they did inform their customers. Are you with Bell? Since they don't send you a monthly invoice (like Rogers Cable does, for example.) they probably informed you via your online invoice - which, if you're like me, you dont check, then it's no wonder you're surprised.
