rogers offering a 6G data plan

[Alex Gabriel]

So it seems you got your plan around the same time as I did.  I recall
thinking at the time that the extra $5.00 in fees was well worth gaining an
additional 5.5GB of additional traffic.

I think the most I have ever used is about 750mb, and that was due to
tethering.

It's my opinion that most smart phone users aren't ever going to come to
that limit, at least without the use of tethering.
