Lately » Rogers cap
A few days ago I ranted about my ISP, Rogers Cable, and its practice to throttle Bit Torrent users. There is another thing I hate about this company. In March last year, Rogers imposed 60 GB cap for combined upload and download. The worst part, it claims 60 GB cap is very generous. I saw an article on this topic at Globe and Mail and I'd like to point out to an excellent comment made by Globe and Mail reader. It starts with "As one of the people affected by Rogers' new bit cap, I have a few points that I have brought up to Rogers."
I am seriously considering switching to Sympatico.

I haven't looked at Bell's Web site on their Sympatico servce in a long time, but from what I can tell -their- bandwidth cap is truly -not- generous: it seems that bandwidth is capped at 30GB for their high-speed service and the "unplugged" one whatever it is; I'm not sure) is capped at 10GB.
As someone who's had the displeasure of dealing with Rogers, with Bell and with Cogeco, I can tell you that, in the grand scheme of things, Rogers could in fact be much worse.
A quick comparsion tells me that Rogers charges less for additional bandwidth, plus the Rogers service of comparable price to Bell's "Ultra" one (using the regular price of 50$) affords you 100GB of bandwidth rather than 60GB at Rogers.
And, as an added bonus, Rogers doesn't refuse to work with anything other than IE like Sympatico's site does. I can't imagine how people use that piece of crap...
