It's difficult to run up that high on the Rogers network in Canada.

Rogers has shotty coverage at best, with 3G in only 25 cities across the second largest country in the world, it's hard to use the network to surf when you're constantly looking for more service. If you get inside a building, you're almost fucked unless you're right by a window. Especially if it's a mall or a big store. I know in my local wal-mart, I only have to walk about ten steps in before I get a "No Service" on my iPhone. Whereas other companies in my province manage to have full service even within these buildings.

Rogers needs to increase it's coverage around Canada and the reliability of it's network as well. If you're outside, and not around a lot of buildings, you're good. But as soon as you go more than a couple kilometers out of a major city, you're fucked.

The backlash at Rogers for it's data plans was not only for the data plans, but for the gouging they've been doing for years and how they are able to get away with it since Rogers/FIDO are the only GSM carrier within Canada. People wanted better rates, better coverage, and a better carrier.

Hopefully, once the cellular services open up in the next couple years, we'll get a new, better GSM carrier that I can switch to.
