For those of you using Rogers or Sympatico for High Speed internet I'm sure you've already heard that both companies plan to impliment Data / Bit Caps on your service this summer, charging you extra if you exceed your download/upload limits.
Here's the link for the article in the Toronto Star
http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/Co...d=1020809092772
Personaly I think this is ridiculous, the whole point of high speed service is to enjoy rich media content, and to download/upload at faster speeds.
Anyways, there's a petition being signed by users who oppose this action, I suggest those of you who also disagree with this change of service sign the petition, the more people who sign it the better.

It pisses me off that multi million dollar companies can get away with like that.
It is NOT about freeing up bandwidth for all users. That is a load of crap that they want to shovel into people's mouths. It is about MONEY, they obviously feel that people will buy their more expensive "ultra" packages.
They can talk out of their asses about how they care about customer satisfaction and like that. All they are is greed mongering pricks and if I can help it my service will be moved.

| I put my 2 cents in the petition already, but I don't think it will do anything. Rogers and Sympatico will just wind up losing a lot of customers.. personally, I'll just be searching for a better connection and ISP after they do their price hike :mad: |

Anyway, it could be worse - the university residence I'll be moving back into this September has a 524MB/week limit! :whip: |

Hahhaa, not only will they lose lot of customers (including me) but other companies might step up and offer comparable plans but without any limits on bandwidth... now that's what I'd love to see, some competition.
And yes, it has always been about the $$ money $$ and it will always be about that... we can't do about it. |
