So, I’m sure most of you know, Rogers announced a 6GB plan for the iPhone for $30 a month. I’d say that’s pretty decent. Although its not unlim­ited, appar­ently AT&T caps peo­ple at 5GB a month south of the boarder, so really this price is quite fair. Now, although this is a great step in the right direc­tion, it just shows you how much of an greedy com­pany Rogers is when they boost there equiv­a­lent data plan from 400mb to 6gb. Its clear they had more band­width then any­one could imag­ine, yet they still decided (ini­tially) to try to squeeze us out of every dollar.

So, I was going to get an iPhone, but there is a lit­tle prob­lem I have, which is the fact that I’m going to Europe for 8 months, and thus would need to pause my account if I wanted to get an iPhone on a (ridicu­lous) three year plan. I assumed this wouldn’t be a prob­lem, as I would request the pay­ments to pause, not skip out on 8 months of pay­ments, I know Rogers wants every penny of those 36 months that I would be sign­ing up for. So I phoned in today, just to make sure they would be able to acco­mi­date such a request, but apper­ently, this is a “fea­ture” that they aren’t able to acco­mo­date. What the fuck are they talk­ing about? How can you not pause an account for a cer­tain period of time? Its not like they are going to lose any money at all. Apper­ently my only option would be to pay for the bare-minimum each month while I’m gone, even though I’m not using the phone. What kind of bull­shit is that? Once again, fuck you Rogers, you are absolutely fuck­ing useless.
