Rogers caps.. will they or won't they?

Probably a question still lurking in everyone's minds.. Will Rogers put in caps like they've claimed they will do? If you ask me, their network is not capable of handling such metering. I'm still on a non-docsis Motorola Cybersurfr modem.... And they refuse to upgrade it! (I actually heard somewhere that they lost about 50k new modems which were meant for this area.... Hense they kept us on the old recycled gray boxes). I have to admit tho, I could drop it off the balcony at the 14th floor, and it would still probably work!.

Back to the point.... Has anyone heard news about Rogers' intentions?

It's on their website that it will be done by no later then summer this year, caps that is.

Thanks for the reply Bob... I just looked at their little FAQ section...

Will Rogers implement a usage-tracking program for Internet usage ?

Hmmmm.. That really bites.But havnt they been giving different dates all the time? They've been saying "This summer" "By the end of this summer" "In the mid-winter" "By early spring"... etc.

There's lots of really good DSL providers without caps that offer some pretty sweet speeds.
