Froose is right, you r a little bitch. Carlos is right too.  

I myself want the iphone, but I can't afford one so I got a more basic phone that I could afford and it does what I need it to do; offer me the ability to make a phone call when I need to or a text message. Sure I don't look really really cool with the phone I have now, but it is within my means and does what I need it to do.

            I myself would like to drive my car more, but with gas prices as high as they are and the government unwilling to drop their tax rate on a litre of gas I won't be doing that. Anyone reading this please instead of complaining about the price of a luxury item, please complain about something worthwhile such as high gas prices. That way your actually helping alot more people then just the ones who want to have things they couldn't normally afford, but complain and cry until someone gives them a handout. 

 

You know what its our view, if you dont agree dont post dont come to the website, just leave.

I think someone needs to pass dani a tissue...

so she can cry while someone gives an alternative viewpoint.

I'm aware that it is your view however just as you post your view on here, I'm posting mine. The difference is we see things a little bit differently; you see Rogers as money grabbing thieves, I see it as a company that has a responsibility to it's share holders to produce good results each quarter. 

             Consider this, Rogers started out with a TDMA network (much like bell and telus CDMA technology) and then migrated their service to GSM to make it compatible with the standard that the rest of the world was using. So you can imagine that changing from one technology to another is not as easy as flipping as switch, when you have to convert every tower you've set up across Canada (remember, 2nd largest country) to the newer technology that supports all 4 bands it takes a bit of an investment I would imagine. So now you have Rogers doing this for its customers to provide better service and mobility and guess what the system access fee didn't go up and the prices for the plans remained competitive with the other providers. Also note that when Rogers aquired Fido it let Fido customers use their towers without charge after a while even though they were the only GSM "competition" . Now let's look at the competition,

Telus: Same technology as was used in the 90s, wants to charge you for incoming texts if u don't have a plan + 911 fee is 0.75 cents

Bell: Same technology as was used in the 90s, wants to charge you for incoming texts if you don't have a plan, System access fee is $8.95 + 911 fee is 0.75 cents

now you are probably wondering, why is bell's System access fee $2 more than everyone else when they are still using the same technology that used to power the grey bricks from back in the day? They use it to pay the dividends to THEIR shareholders instead of investing in their network. I can only imagine how much their system access fee would go up if they actually went to GSM and spent more on what the system access fee was for.

Sorry for the long post, I am a rogers customer and have never had a problem with them, I guess the point I'm trying to make is at least rogers reinvests the profits back into their network. I don't think their competition can make the same claim though.

"Pretty much every person who hasn't been a little bitch about Rogers here has been accused of being an employee."

That would make 99% of Canada Rogers employees!

NEWS FLASH!

The real scandal is that Rogers is taking over Canada by hiring everyone in the country to post positive comments on RuinediPhone!

In other news... I bet there is no one who hates Rogers more than the Rogers employees ... from the video/phone stores to the customer service reps, I bet you couldn't find one who would take the time to come on here and defend them.
