Rogers does this in every single area they do business in. They have a monopoly not only in the GSM arena, but with digital cable as well. If you don't like their cable service or rates, you have either Bell (who is not that good either) or Star Choice (both are satellite-based). Would Rogers be doing this if they had the likes of Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon, AT&T, etc. competing for the same market? The other posters said it...NO. This is the problem with Canada, too many oligarchs and not enough competition.

Rogers has been ripping us off for years now and we haven't protested even once. When will we ever get cheap data rates!! It’s totally ridiculous.

Rogers/Fido has the only GSM network (at least for a couple of years) and they are going to wring every cent out of it (and generate a TON of bad will doing so). Many Canadians will suck it up and buy an iPhone on these ridiculous plans, but they'll jump ship to another carrier as soon as they get a chance. Its a frustrating situation because we all HATE Rogers, but they're the only GSM network so we smile, get screwed, and then say thank you. No competition here in Canada.

Rogers has no competition for GSM or for the iPhone here in Canada so they shaft us evey chance they get. I'll stay with my unlocked and no data iPhone. As an ex AT&T customer who recently moved back to Canada and was on the "real" iPhone plan back there I will not support Rogers new 3G plans.. your an embarrassment to Canada Rogers I think the key statement you made is “how not to do business in a competitive wireless world”…… Rogers has no competition for GSM or for the iPhone here in Canada so they shaft us evey chance they get.
