Rogers,
Your new iPhone data plans are absolutely ridiculous. Virtually every other country offering the iPhone includes unlimited data at no extra premium. The fact that the data bandwidth offered for each iPhone plan is so low coupled with the latest 3G capabilities effectively renders the device useless. The estimated usage scenarios per plan are not realistic and do not factor in secondary data usage options (i.e. 3G applications, iTunes Store, &c…). Not to mention next to no minutes and SMS, and lack of a rollover minutes capability. It’s as if you are barely offering a service, and simply charging for iPhone ownership. You are locking Canadians in to what seem to be third world plans from nearly a decade ago. It’s not fair to your loyal customers who are being forced to pay these exorbitant prices.
It’s truly a sad day for Canadians and tech enthusiasts, knowing we have been abandoned by the one company that really could have made a difference.
Sincerely,
Gianni Chiappetta
Update: Rogers reply after the break, and yes they spelled my last name wrong.
