Thanks for that Bill. I was checking a bit older version with a bit different pricing scheme.
So, I am wondering how the tiered rating from Ultra-Lite to Ultimate is justified? Isn't the Coax cable extended all the way and isn't the cost of laying the cable and maintaining it the same for Rogers whether it's a 1Mbps connection or a 20Mbps connection? I understand that Rogers submits a cost analysis report to CRTC for getting approval of these rates but don't you think they are outrageous and tiered just to keep prices up? My knowledge is very limited to this so I am keen to learn more of how the prices are set and get approved.
