Rogers has a data plan that is on pay per call. It allows unlimited bandwith and calls from 3-6 pm for $1 a day. It’s well worth it considering the $80 for the plan which is capped for downloads. Considering that iPhones are sold on a plan few will use this pay per call plan. Tethering has some issues to the bandwidth but how dovthey know if your tethered or not??? And is untethered capped? Questions still prevail as for customer service forget about it. My iPhone was free because of those morons (: 

@ Jane : Fido is owned by Rogers. As it is their discount brand, you will likely pay more with a Rogers plan…. Plus, Rogers almost never gets their billing right, I’ve had both and at least Fido doesn’t make me call them every month to reverse the false over-charges that they constantly stick me with. They are both pretty horrible, but they have a monopoly on GSM in Canada, so you are stuck with them.

@Jane: 4G iPhone won’t be until 2011 possibly (but really not likely) 2010.

Hi: I’m with fido Not happy with their services, they are not very cooperative. I’m thinking of changing to Rogers. I have the previous version IPhone and they keep wanting me to sign a 3 year contract even though I own my own iphone. I also think I’m getting ripped off as I pay Fido $30 for IGB data plan and it doesn’t work most of the time (because I didn’t buy my iphone from Fido so they say). I pay approx. $85 per month for cell pkg, IGB data iphone plan and basic value voice plan. Could I get a better deal with Rogers. I might be interested in the 4G iphone 2 if it comes out s o o n. Thanks.

3 year contracts must suck. I imagine they have similar upgrade policies though. My current upgrade plan is a new phone every year if you extend your contract back to 2 years.

I thought Canada was supposed to get a few more carrier this year after the anolog spectrum auctions last year. I’ll google it

@Al: rogers doesn’t need any bad press because they’re so exhorbitant and everyone hates them.. So they can’t really afford to lie..

I stream over 3G and EDGE all the time in the car. If I sat at home all day and only browsed on my iPhone I don’t think I could use 6GB. It’s kind of crazy to me that they don’t just go ahead and call that one unlimited, LOL.

@Adam:

You missed the gist of Al's question. He's been a 3G user since day one and has only 4.5 Gigs. I have 1/10th of that.

How does one get 6gig per month of cell data. Is there enough hours in the day to accumulate that kind of usage?

@Al: At rogers, you’re allowed to do with your data whatever you want. You’re ALLOWED to tether your data here and they don’t care how you do it.
