Never realized how much money I am wasting.

I can pay $10 extra for a package with 90GB. :banghead:

These are charges JUST FOR BANDWIDTH

Only charges you a max of 50$ though

the 95 gb package is the one I upgraded to. I had 60GB so I called them and said 'bell offers 40gb for 5$' so they gave me the 95 cap package (also makes your upload 1mbit) for 3$ more than what I was paying.

Shit still sucks compared to teksavvy. If you're in or near toronto..

Shit really sucks compared to most US companies that don't even have caps. =|

I want to upgrade to ultimate @ 99,99 or Extreme plus at 69,99 but it would mean getting a new modem. I don't feel like going through the hassle. If I could just pick it up and replace the one I have myself I would be happy.

Wow I have a horrible feeling the greedy US companies will soon begin to do this. I really hope not I enjoy my free no download limit. Although I don't think I have ever downloaded more then even 10 gig in a month's time.

They won't. The reason it happens in Canada is because there are only 2~ major companies that control many services (internet, phone, cable, cellphones). Soon enough they'll stop..What's the point of 25 mbits down when you only have a 60GB cap...

I live in Canada and I'm pretty sure I have unlimited downloads(if thats bandwith),wut

(with Shaw Cable)

Why are you using Rogers man?

Shaw is so much better. Great rates for Unlimited Net packages.

But still, on topic thats a shit ton of money down the drain.

I remember I used to have a 'Fair Use Policy', but I never heard anything about that. Could download all I want and they never told me I wasn't being fair.

90 GB isn't really all that much to download. I think youtube vids or whatever are already like, what.. 20mb?
If you watch 10 youtube clips a day that's like 6 GB a month just from some simple youtubing. Combine that with torrents or steam game downloads and you'll get to 90 GB easily.

If I check my logs I get:

Verbindingsinformatie

Actief: 2 dagen, 0:16:03
Overgebrachte gegevens (verzonden/ontvangen) [GB/GB]: 2,73 / 7,97

That's almost 8 GB in 2 days. So I'd be on 120 GB for the entire month. I don't even know what I did to DL that 8 GB :sohappy:

i recently moved from toronto to vancouver and moved in with a buddy who has shaw. I had sympatico in toronto same speeds. But damn does shaw ever feel slow. And im pretty sure the new plans like the one im on has a cap.

although the speed here is 7.5mb and i have a 75 gig cap for 20 bucks a month. Its not unlimited wow i didn't know toronto sucked so much :S good luck getting that type of plan in toronto.

40$ no cap at 24mbit/s. Sweden ftw!

They didn't contact you for a promo? Rogers saw that I kept going over my limit for the past like 4 months and they offered me the 90GB tier for only 3$ more for 3 months lol.

They thought about offering dom the deal. They came to their senses and decided they'd rather have the extra $156.
