I just looked this up.  What gets me is:

  Monthly System Access Fee (non-government fee) $6.95

They cannot quite bring themselves to say "a fee we charge because we
can".  Calling it a "non-government fee" just doubles the weasliness.

Of course there is an even funnier one:
	Monthly 911 Emergency Access Fee (non-government fee) 50cents
Can you even use 911 with this?  Isn't it data-only?

And then there is:
	(If usage is greater than 5 GB, 3cents per additional MB will be
	charged)
Is that for 911?  I cannot tell.  If so, how do megabytes relate to
911?  If not, why is it broken out from their already specified prices?

Rogers marketing really puts me off.  Funny thing: their phone support
for cable is now really quite good; this is a change.
