Rogers/Fido, the iPhone, and Me

I’m a happy customer of Fido. Even after Rogers bought them, they didn’t ruin them.
Now, Rogers has the iPhone. And the best data rates that they’ve come up with are absolutely insane — with no unlimited data and that we should feel that their plans are “High Value”.
Colour me not interested. Here’s the text of my feedback to Fido:
Thank you for showing that Rogers is both stupid and greedy. I had planned on getting an iPhone in two weeks. Now I will NOT get an iPhone because of your absolutely insane data pricing. You call it “High Value” pricing; I call it “highway robbery” pricing. When AT&T has a better price plan than you, it strongly suggests that you’re out of touch. Let me know when your prices return to Earth with an unlimited 3G plan and I’ll happily upgrade to the iPhone.
I should have pointed out, but did not, that I have no problem with the idea that I have to spend $75 or more per month—I’m already spending a lot of money. But I want value for that money, and Rogers plans are anything but value to the consumer. They’re a pure rip-off.
That said, there’s a petition on-line that I refuse to sign, mostly because I refuse to have my name associated with some of the disgusting things (including wishing Ted Rogers bodily harm). I may think that Ted Rogers is a greedy pinhead, but we should act civilized, people. Grow up.
