Text only in important situations or during their daytime RAPE minutes.

Stop using them, be an adult and realize you dont' need this shit. Be like our parents, pick up the phone when you need it and talk to them, otherwise shut the piece of shit off. You don't need to be in constant contact with every biological unit, and most of the tiem it's inane prattle and nothing important.

If your company pays for it, fine you need to be in touch with them. But everyday humans could do with less contact with eachother, not more.

I understand if they put fair usage restrictions (no torrents, tethering, etc). I don't even mind a soft cap. A soft cap would allow them to indenify abusers rather than punish us all. I also would accept if they were to drop down the bandwith afer a certain point like they do in Germany (After 300MB: bandwidth limited to 64 kbit/s download & 16 kbit/s upload). I wouldn't be extantic but at least it wouldn't render the device unusable like their existing plans.<br><br>They are simply using the data caps as leverage to try to push people into higher plans. That is why they don't want to offer unlimited data. Greed and contempt for their customers is the Rogers way. I do not expect true unlimited.

Att 2007 Q4 – wireless revenue $11.4 billion dollars, wireless operating profit $1.9 billion
Rogers 2008 Q1 – wireless revenue $1.4 billion dollars, wireless operating profit $0.7 billion.

Rogers have 1/9th the revenue as att but have 1/3rd the profit. If this doesn't convince you that rogers is cash grabbing, i don't know what will.

Not sure where do you come from, but we (in quebec) pay 45$ for a capped broadband connection.
