Rogers made a vow to open up their support to 'social media' and post any reasonable comment. This is a very progressive position, but some comments don't seem to be making it through the moderation queue.

"What are your thoughts on the new service? How have you changed the ways you enjoy video entertainment?"


===='''Business Regulations'''====
I realize (and it’s clear from the inclusion of statistics) that Rogers doesn’t need to focus on what any individual wants. But I don’t want just first run movies, trendy sports and series in an exclusive community, I want world scale choice and pricing with the knowledge and chaos of the Internet. I have yet to see any Rogers promotions that have been aimed at me, aside maybe from the initial “open,” “revolution” Android ads, which unfortunately proved rather false. While I am not included in “nearly 60 per cent of 18-34 year-old,” I am pretty sure the majority of people would simply like Roger to provide reliable, fast, competitive Internet service so we can choose from a global palette of options. Rogers should certainly participate in extra offerings, but not to the detriment to the bigger idea.


====='''Big-Box Retail'''=====

By the way, I’d made similar points about the Samsung Galaxy S captivate coming soon to Rogers in another post that never made it here, perhaps something about it was considered “offtopic” *cough* unsubsidized plans with consumers buying and controlling their handset of choice on the open market *cough*

===='''Culture - Art and Music'''====
Alan - let me assure you, you don't need to step in and apologize on behalf of corporations. There's nothing, anywhere that says "consumer phones are meant to be locked down." That's more tenuous than Rogers' statement that their offering would be a "revolution" and "open." A statement that some of us would like them to follow up on, rather than making excuses on their behalf that accepts a dysfunctional status quo.

I have no desire to own the Nexus One as I want a keyboard device. Further, the formula doesn't make sense, since I'd be continuing to pay monthly subsidization fees to Rogers, effectively nearly paying double for my handset.

===='''Election System Reform'''====
I'm still waiting to see my post from several days ago asking how to self serve purchase a new handset less than three years after my current one. In an age of fast moving (especially the first generation — Dream/Magic — which most quickly became outdated), ever lower priced standard handsets, this is obviously something many people will want to do. Alternatively, what price discounts can we expect if we don't obtain a 'subsidized' handset from Rogers?

===='''Energy Policy'''====
I’d like to see Rogers simply offer replacement devices at a pro rated cost. If you say the device is worth $600, and it’s $200 up front, and you’re claiming I’m subsidizing the remainder over 36 months, I should be able to get a replacement for $332 after one year. That’s about what I’d pay to break the contract alone. Does this not sound fair to anyone?

I called customer service and explained the situation.

Her first proposal was crazy. We'd have to break the phone and data contracts, and lose our existing phone number. We'd have to buy a new iPhone for $600, including a $35 signup fee and lose our FidoDollars. Pretty much $1000. After three phone calls, we finally got it so we'd only need to cancel one plan for a $125 fee, not pay a signup fee, and pay $600 for a new phone, and use our FidoDollars to pay for most of that (thank goodness for Fido Dollars).

Latest revision as of 12:31, 6 May 2011

Rogers made a vow to open up their support to 'social media' and post any reasonable comment. This is a very progressive position, but some comments don't seem to be making it through the moderation queue.

Some of these have been eventually posted, after the conversation had died down. A few were called off topic.

This is more of a hobbie these days, every once in a while a Rogers moderator replies in a sympathetic tone, but situation is clear.

"What are your thoughts on the new service? How have you changed the ways you enjoy video entertainment?"

I realize (and it’s clear from the inclusion of statistics) that Rogers doesn’t need to focus on what any individual wants. But I don’t want just first run movies, trendy sports and series in an exclusive community, I want world scale choice and pricing with the knowledge and chaos of the Internet. I have yet to see any Rogers promotions that have been aimed at me, aside maybe from the initial “open,” “revolution” Android ads, which unfortunately proved rather false. While I am not included in “nearly 60 per cent of 18-34 year-old,” I am pretty sure the majority of people would simply like Roger to provide reliable, fast, competitive Internet service so we can choose from a global palette of options. Rogers should certainly participate in extra offerings, but not to the detriment to the bigger idea.

Posted Sept 10 morning. One day later several other postings made ... not that one.

Samsung Galaxy S Captivate coming soon to Rogers

Below not posted but they posted a more controversial post wit some back and forth:

I think you missed one point:

- Rogers wanted to head off any customers thinking of going to Bell for this device

However, if Rogers doesn’t literally *release* this device in “weeks” as they stated, they’re being dishonest.

By the way, I’d made similar points about the Samsung Galaxy S captivate coming soon to Rogers in another post that never made it here, perhaps something about it was considered “offtopic” *cough* unsubsidized plans with consumers buying and controlling their handset of choice on the open market *cough*

Posted Aug 19, 2010 1435 in response to a similar post that didn't make it.

RedBoard’s FAAQ: Frequently Asked Android Questions

Alan - let me assure you, you don't need to step in and apologize on behalf of corporations. There's nothing, anywhere that says "consumer phones are meant to be locked down." That's more tenuous than Rogers' statement that their offering would be a "revolution" and "open." A statement that some of us would like them to follow up on, rather than making excuses on their behalf that accepts a dysfunctional status quo.

I have no desire to own the Nexus One as I want a keyboard device. Further, the formula doesn't make sense, since I'd be continuing to pay monthly subsidization fees to Rogers, effectively nearly paying double for my handset.

Please, unless you're going to say something useful, next time keep your thoughts to yourself. ;)

Rogers self-service on demand: How-to videos, cheat sheets and FAQs

I'm still waiting to see my post from several days ago asking how to self serve purchase a new handset less than three years after my current one. In an age of fast moving (especially the first generation — Dream/Magic — which most quickly became outdated), ever lower priced standard handsets, this is obviously something many people will want to do. Alternatively, what price discounts can we expect if we don't obtain a 'subsidized' handset from Rogers?

How @RogersHelps helps: Improving the customer experience 140 characters at a time

Is @RogersHelp going to do anything if my smartphone is stolen except explain I have to break my contract (around $300), create a new three year contract, and buy a new device (around $600) ?

I’d like to see Rogers simply offer replacement devices at a pro rated cost. If you say the device is worth $600, and it’s $200 up front, and you’re claiming I’m subsidizing the remainder over 36 months, I should be able to get a replacement for $332 after one year. That’s about what I’d pay to break the contract alone. Does this not sound fair to anyone?

And it does imply that those who get their own smartphone should be paying $11 less a month…

In case my comment isn't clear, let me explain...

A few months ago my wife's iPhone was stolen. It's from Fido, but please hold off on the Fido-isn't-Rogers macro, I think the story would be the same.
