When I went to school in Idaho, I was always happy to say I was from Canada when people asked. I always have and always will. 

This past week I get this IM from buddy Tim. Tim lives in Dayton, OH. We go back to our days in California over 10 years ago. Tim is a Mac hardcore like me. He used to be a PC guy… he even served in Iraq working on PC’s over there. He has the 1st generation iPhone. I am completely jealous. He was the first one to show me the iPhone rates from Rogers. 

This is the part where I am a TINY bit embarrassed to be a Canadian. We are the laughing stock of the wireless world.  Rogers has a complete hold of the GSM market here in Canada. They obviously use this to their advantage. Anways, IMO their data plans are a joke. They say that they are packaging their plans to cater to certain people… That’s the worst thing they said to justify their plans. their $60 plan with 150 muntes and 400mb of data is all I can choose if I want the lower package. That doesnt matter if I need more minutes to talk or more data…. I have to work in that pacakge or move up…. compelte joke.

There is a site that I took part in for a petition. http://www.ruinediphone.com

They have had good exposure with CNN and some others. As of this writing, the have 15,122 people who have signed this petition. That says alot for what Rogers has done. Will this come back to bite Rogers? I’ve been with them for over 6 years….. Rogers needs to listen to the customers and stop the greedy factor.
