100 for 1 gig. ****ing joke.

[Tsuioku]

Is there any benefit of having the $11 Comm Pack or Every Call Pack grandfathered? To me, the new $11 Value Pack is essentially the two combined for the same cost...

Any word on adding another line to the $100 data plans for $25 and having them share the data (as was reported in the other Q2 thread)

[faibs]

and are we to assume this was the response from the committee regarding the proposed data packs from the infamous thread?

[prod]

Any more info on other new hardware or price changes?

and question...if i signed onto a 3 year data agreement, is it possible for me to switch from my $60 bb plan to the $15 e-mail plan without DCF?

thanks

LOL yeah. I have unlimited till May 22 I think. I guess for the summer I will be okay with $15 e-mail and no browsing (maybe opera if it works :|). Or I will give retentions a shot and try to fix up a new plan. Boo to data && cheers for new value packs!

[mr_yellow]

thanks for the news... at least this means I resisted signing another 3year contract a good decision. makes the day I switch ever so closer.

I can't believe I've turned into one of those bitter rogers customers threatening to leave... an well.

[A$CE]

Thanks for the news. At least the $11 I pay goes for something more useful now..
