Rogers Internet Extreme Plus and Ultimate Price Drop

[h0ju]

bah, hopefully shaw follows suit

This is the reason I am still staying with my 7Mbps service with bell @ $50 tax in, unlimited bandwidth

[coreyb]

unlimited dsl is the only way to go for downloaders. who cares about 50mps when you can only download 100gb a month. I can go over 200 easily on my teksavvy account. not to mention its far cheaper.

Notice the website of Rogers says that the $25 max cap applies to Ultra Lite and Lite ONLY. Anything else they charge $$ per GB with no limit:

Even my Express service, the $25 limit that I had is now gone. So if you are download a lot, be prepared for some very large bills.

I would suggest for those who have high usage to opt for Internet service by Teksavvy.

Reading comprehension fail. The disclaimer applies to those two products. It's not stated on that page that there is also a $25/month overage cap for the other service tiers. But it is stated on your monthly usage report page from rogers.com.

I have Extreme plus and don't ever pay more than $25/month in overage for the terabytes I'm pulling down.

It actually specifically and explicitly states the opposite. Those who signed up for the slower services prior to the specified date have no maximum cap, in all other instances the cap applies.

Most of those who did sign up for those services and care about the cap canceled and re-joined to get around that problem quite some time ago.

To reiterate, there is a maximum $25 charge at the present time no matter how many GB you go over your limit by.

Nah. It's just numbers. It's the cap that matters to me. No matter how fast the speed is. Fast speed just mean you reach the cap faster.

I thought after $25 of overage, they disconnect your internet.
So this is not true?

No

I know people who've gone a one or two hundred gigs over the $25 overage with no problem

They always try not to make the statement clear. That is why every time when I'm planning for the huge overusage, I always call them to make sure the $25 cap is still there. And I just about to start another round of huge download and $25 cap is still good as of today.
So far my best strategy is Express + $25 = unlimited bandwidth for the month.

Why is everyone complaining about caps? Would it be easier on your wallet if it was 50mbit with no cap for $125/month? There's simply no difference.

On the web site, the * symbol applies for the first 2 grades. I don't see anywhere mentioning that there is $25 limit for other grades.

Calling rogers to confirm is great, but if the reps are misinformed of the changes, you will be held accountable.

I know that there was a $25 limit to me as well but from what I read (and heard from insiders), this is gone.

From http://www.hispeed.rogers.com/bband/...ce/faq.html#2:

Yes. If you exceed your monthly usage allowance, you will be charged as follows:

Ultra Lite – $5.00/GB to a maximum of $25.00
Lite – $2.50/GB to a maximum of $25.00
Express – $2.00/GB to a maximum of $25.00
Extreme – $1.50/GB to a maximum of $25.00
Extreme Plus – $1.25/GB to a maximum of $25.00

Yes but you just encrypt and problem solved.

How? any links?

Can anyone confirm this?


Wow good deal, isn't there a max charge limit if you go above certain bandwidth? I think it's $20 max. So for $89.99 you get unlimited bandwidth and 25mbps down speed.

OP did not state that this deal has an unlimited download, will be great if there is, can someone confirm one way or another?
