Stop the Madness: Petition against Rogers’ iPhone plan travesty
So Rogers recently released the data phone plans for the iPhone 3G in Canada, and boy oh boy, are they ridiculous. Let’s discount the prices, the three year contract (AT&T is two), the fact that there are fewer weekday minutes than AT&T plans, and let’s focus on the data portion of the plan. There are four levels of plans here, and none of them offer unlimited data. They start at 400 MB and end at 2 GB. You’ve got the internet in your pocket, but it’s on a leash. The 3G iPhone is about blazing a trail through the internet and not looking back. Counting your megabytes like you count your weekday minutes is not supposed to happen.
Anyway, if you’re even a quarter as outraged by this news as we are here at JAiB, give us a hand and sign this form at RuinediPhone.com. They’ve got 8898/10000 signatures (next goal is 25,000). Please sign up and help put a dent in Rogers evil plan to gouge all living creatures with a wireless signal.

As much as I wasn’t surprised by the plan, I was however a bit disappointed that at even at $115 a month plus being chained for 3 years plus System Access Fees and call display and other great “features”, you still don’t get unlimited (even if capped) data. That’s Canada and Rogers for you.
And it’s funny that Rogers rep defend their plan as better than others. Oh man.
Also, at first I thought the protest site was another one, but realized that the original name was changed since it was a bit colorful.
Hi macey – lovely to see your name here! Hope this protest continues to gain support …
