Rogers iPhone Tethering - Page 8

So I was told again that they know nothing about tethering on the iPhone, I'm assuming it's not going to happen until next week.

not sure if anyone else has encountered this....
I just spoke to Rogers corporate customer service who have informed me that tethering is not allowed on the 6GB "Promotional Data Plan"

I was seriously on hold for 10mins while she read over the internal memo and discussed it with her manager.

Her response was that tethering is compatible with data plans above 1GB not including Promotional Data Plans which is what the 6GB plan was, is and will be.

Has anyone else been able to enable tethering on a 6GB data plan on iPhone?

Mine's the 6GB promotional that I signed up for on day 1. Perhaps it's specific to corporate only.

I asked her to please put a note on my account to inform me when this policy changes as I think it's ridiculous. Maybe someone could harass Mr McArthur on his twitter for me as I don't want to start an account simply for the purpose.
heh.

One more call and this time I've been told that Fido doesn't support tethering at all..

So according to Fido:
Tethering is activated as soon as you have a 1gb+ data plan
Tethering is not supported at all by the iPhone.
Tethering is ONLY supported by the iPhone 3GS.
Fido doesn't support tethering..
