I am also wondering about the LTE plans for Rogers, Bell and Telus... Perhaps we'll find out closer to release day... Let's just hope it doesn't cost too much for less data... "Wishful Thinking"
Notice how Rogers is the only one offering a monthly plan. The others offer a 30-day plan, meaning they can get one more payment from us per year for a slightly lower amount! Clever!

You are right, I didn't think of that. So you have to pay 12.17 (365 days / 30) times per year which will work out to only $6 more per year, but still.

Well, it's not about the money (yet), it's the principle of the thing. I am amazed at how creative companies get with their greed and resultant gouging.
It has started now with data; but how long would it be before they realise what a cash cow this is and starting doing the same for voice plans, for land-lines, for cable TV, for your hydro etc.?

One way of looking at it. Another way would be to hear the whiners who say "why should I pay the same for February as I do for January and March? I've got 3 less days in February so it should be cheaper.
It's also much easier for billing. You start on the 8th of the month, you get a bill every 30 days. If you look at most Rogers (or Cogeco for cable/internet in my neck of the woods), if you start your service in the middle of a billing cycle, they always pro rate the first partial month. My guess is if you did the finite math, you were probably getting ripped off there too.
Rogers seems like the best in my opinion. I would have gotten the 5 GB LTE plan if I were to get the LTE + WiFi iPad 3. However, the iPad 3 WiFi is fine enough for me.
