Your bill *will* be going up, and not necessarily by $25 ... that's speculation. It could be going up by over $250 per month depending on exactly what Rogers decides to do.

Don't let people fool you into thinking that EVERYWHERE gets those speeds for those prices. Until recently, in the UK, broadband was anything over 256 kbps for which they paid dearly. As it is now, they still pay dearly but are getting about 5 Mbps commonly and still are capped severely.

Remember too that OOL is the exception, not the rule.
sbrooke, This is absolutely confirmed.

If someone else wants to get this confirmed, call RBO and ask the rep to browse "The Library" to: Internet -> Pricing Menu -> Internet Pricing and ask them to read the overages section to you. Tell them it's just about halfway down the page :O

From the Optimum.com Terms of Service:


28. Bandwidth, Data Storage and Other Limitations: Subscriber agrees to comply with Cablevision's bandwidth, data storage and other limitations of the Optimum Online Service as established and modified by Cablevision from time to time. Subscriber agrees that its activity will not improperly restrict, inhibit or degrade any other Subscriber's use of Optimum Online Service, nor represent (in the sole judgment of Cablevision) an unusually large burden on the network itself. In addition, Subscriber agrees that its activity will not improperly restrict, inhibit, disrupt, degrade or impede Cablevision's ability to deliver and monitor Optimum Online Service, backbone, network nodes, and/or other network services. Cablevision and any Third-Party Provider reserve the right to implement processes to manage, shape, or optimize traffic on its network.




And interestingly enough:


11. Cablevision's Rights:

a)Cablevision has no obligation to monitor Optimum Online Service content. However, Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that Cablevision has the right to monitor content electronically from time to time and to disclose any information as necessary to satisfy any law, regulation or other governmental request, to operate Optimum Online Service properly, including, but not limited to, monitoring of a Subscriber's access to certain content provided by Cablevision and/or Third-Party Providers, or to protect itself, its Subscribers or any Third-Party Providers.

b) Third-Party Providers may monitor Subscriber activity. When using an Optimum Online Service provided by a Third-Party Provider, Subscriber is responsible for reviewing any Terms of Service or similar agreement as posted on the Third-Party Provider Web site which, to the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, shall bind the Subscriber. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and any Third-Party Provider Terms of Service, Acceptable Use Policy or any other agreements or restrictions, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.

14. Termination and Expiration

c) Termination for Breach: Cablevision may terminate this Agreement or Cablevision or any Third-Party Provider may reject an application or block access to or use of any component of the Optimum Online Service for any reason including, but not limited to... 4) the amount of technical support required to be provided to Subscriber is excessive in the sole judgment of Cablevision or an affected Third-Party Provider Subscriber further agrees that in the event of termination pursuant to subsections (b) or (c), Cablevision and all Third-Party Providers shall have no liability to Subscriber.




No provider is perfect, but it seems you picked a perfect example of what MIGHT happen in the US... notice how no limit is specified on bw, but that going over, or even calling tech support too much, may lead to a termination of service :P

This thread title is misleading. I suspect Rogers isn't charging yet for customers who exceed their bandwidth quota. Can the mods put a [ Rumor ] tag or something similar juxtaposed by thread titles like this as they do in some other forums.

It'd make it easier to sort through fact from crap.
