New affordable Rocket Hub plan?

[zbign1]

I believe you were the one who started this thread. I suggest you return to your original post and go over some of the responses. The flex plan for heavy usage is what you should be looking for. The details were linked for you by someone who responded to your original post.

The offer of 7gb for $100 is NOT a good deal.

Well, I just followed your link, and I see that the Flex Heavy Plan - which is what I now have gives 20 GB of data for $90. I really don't understand why they think that I'd be interested in downgrading to a plan that gives 7 GB for $100!!! Somebody has things messed up in his head! The only difference is that it is "shared" (whatever that means to a guy who lives alone in his little house in the county).

Yes 20 gb for $90 but with the flex plan if you go over say to 20.01gb you automatically get charged for 50gb $110. So if you go over 20 you may as well stream or download the extra 30 gb because you are charged for it anyway.

That is what we do in our household. We monitor our usage near the end of the month and stream netflix or crave tv to use up our bandwidth. Its expensive but it works and is reliable. Like you I am in southern ontario but close to london. We are surrouned with an abundance of cell towers but rogers always finds an excuse to overcharge for this service claiming that its expensive to build wireless infrastructure. Its expensive compared to the city but bell is the only other alternative and has exactly the same flex plan. Go figure. Good luck with your purchase and dont forget to ask about the 2 week trial period incase the unit doesnt work at your location.

Hi,

I would like to know if Rogers will be increasing the data usage plans on the Rocket hubs? Currently, the data usage plan is a 100 Gigs for 145.00 a month. Rogers hasn't updated the Rocket Hub plan in 2 years now.

Hello @goodburgerpizza,

Welcome to the Rogers Community Forums!

I understand that the mobile internet usage has changed quite a bit in the past few years. At Rogers we regularly monitor consumer trends for usage and needs. Currently we do not have any new plans tailored to Rocket Hubs but you can definitely view the available options here.

I figured it would never happen. They are making too much money off of the mobile internet.

[Geezer]

Yeah well we out here in the rural areas are at their mercy because cellular Internet is the only way to get online out here. So, there isn't much we can do about it but bend over and take it.

[kampkand]

Yeah I hear you, I'm in the same boat!! They have cable so close to my road, but will not come up it. They say it's going to cost them, too much money!!

[goodburgerpizza]

Rogers could you guys please cut rural customers a break and offer a better usage plan for Rocket hub

It has been stuck at 100 GB for 145.00 + tax for over 2 years

Could be we get something along the lines of 400 GB for 110.00 a month ? That would be a decent plan ! 

[kampkand]

I defiantly agree.  I would evan be willing the pay the $145 + tax for 400 GB.  Anything to get more then the measly 100 GB that we currently get.
