[kwlug-disc] Rogers PayGo Plans [Was: Re: Moving away from Rogers Internet]

[unsolicited]

Can you give us a link to that plan? I don't see anything under $15.75 / 
month. Presumably something somewhere around

I do the $100/year with PayGo, but apparently I'm grandfathered in to 
some things. Khalid was asking me recently, and not only could he no 
longer choose the plan I'm on ($0.01 Eve & Weekends), I don't believe he 
found anything as cheap as $5/month.
