Well, it finally happened. Rogers is about to change their Internet service plans and put downloading limits on their packages.
Currently, we pay $44.95 for their Express package. With the new limits imposed, we will be limited to 60GB of traffic and I believe they charge an additional $2 for each GB over the limit up until $25. I take that to mean that they would only charge you an additional $25 and that you could still go over the limit, but in reality, let’s be honest here, I’m sure they would just cut our Internet connection if we went over the additional $25 limit. 😉
They were nice enough to outline how much we have used over the past three months. Let’s see…in November it was around 110GB and in December it was around 95GB and in January it was around 55GB.
Their letter says “With our upcoming changes, it appears that you will be affected.”
No kidding. I guess all those TV shows we download add up over a month.
Anyhow, if anyone has some good suggestions of Internet service providers around the Ottawa area with no download limits, it would be much appreciated. Heck, we may just go ahead and move all our services to ‘said’ service provider if the price is right.

Bell didn’t have caps before, but might have them now. there are packages that do not have a cap or have higher caps at Rogers!
Oh yes, I forgot to mention that.
So for an extra $10 ($54.95), we can get up to 90GB limit. Then there’s some super extreme package that bumps your speed but still has a limit.
So I’m still in the doghouse at this point, but thanks for pointing out the fact that they give people the choice.
