Conversation with Rogers

[Michael MacLeod]

Is it possible to go over you 60GB cap with the old modem and hit 80GB of
data in a month? I suspect it is. And I highly doubt Rogers is doing
compression - it's cheaper to just increase the size of the pipe than to
throw compute for the purposes of compression at the problem.

This is just a money grab, and a reminder of why I'm with TekSavvy.
