Rogers Statement: Potentially tweaking plans for more Data

Drizzx · Jul 5th, 2008, 02:30 PM

I posted a rather lengthy analysis of data usage in this thread. It's not everyones usage pattern, nor even mine. Mine would be more than double the examples I gave, with exception of e-mail.

I didn't know this.. they are transitioning to GSM?

Also thanks for writing that post, it was very informative. I planned to get the 750MB plan but might reconsider the 1GB plan (although an extra 250MB doesn't seem like it's all that much anymore!)

Very detailed analysis..Thanks Drizzx! This really helps people to see what they are getting themselves into. One thing I might add, in your email section, you only accounted for emails received, but not sent. If you are someone who sends as much as email as you have received, the usage should be more...

Man I'm getting a bit excited. Not sure if I dare to hope, but we definitely have something here with all the attention this issue is getting.

Hi contact the owner of this site search engine optimization, Mr Andy King that Rogers use as justification for the 400MB=3100 pages. I let him know that Rogers was using his data. He told me that a new book from him coming out on the 17, will show that average web page is now 312 Ko. This would mean that 400MB now equal 1312 pages.

I email Mrs Hamilton from rogers to let her know that the claim they make is false advertising.

I'm waiting for her answer.

I am definately going to do the same thing. By now, she hates me, and I love pissing her off.

Maybe Ms Hamilton should be aware of something directly from the ATT website,

Travel Tips | Wireless from AT&T, formerly Cingular

'Why does iPhone use more data than other devices?
Full HTML email: All data associated with emails are downloaded to iPhone, including full attachments and associated graphics.
Automatic check for email: Customers who set their device to automatically check for email in 15, 30, or 60 minute intervals are incurring international data charges, even if no email is downloaded.
Enhanced Internet experience: The Safari browser supports full HTML browsing for a more enhanced experience, which uses significantly more data than a WAP browser on a standard handset or PDA.
Feature-rich applications: iPhone applications like Google Maps, YouTube, and others, depending on frequency of usage, can use a large amount of data.

She hates me too much for me to send her yet another email

I believe the site you were looking for is WebSiteOptimization.com.
