My comments to their no discount reason (Score 1)

Here is my letter to rogers..

If you take away part of the service, shouldn’t I get a discount?

I checked your FAQ and do not agree with your reasonings. We deserve a discount. Because I'll need to pay CAD$26.5 more to get back the same service.

If I get the same service from giganews, it costs US$25 or ~CAD$30, the yahoo service you offered doesn't cover that value.

Here are the comments to your reason why 'I shouldn't get a discount':

--There was no charge for this service.

We paid for it obviously, nothing is free.

--Rogers has introduced many new high-value services free for Rogers Yahoo customers. For example,
--RY Photos with unlimited storage,

The unlimited storage is free for everyone, not just RY subscribers.

--commercial-free Internet radio (Launchcast),

It costs $2.99(USD) per month or $3.5(CAD)

--a special Rogers Yahoo browser with premium features such as tabbed browsing,

Available free using FireFox and Opera

--free premium personal web space

Available free from yahoo geocity. RY's version are getting the same ADs embedded on webpages hosted on geocity.

--and free blogs.

Free blogs are everywhere..

--As the Internet changes, it is reasonable to expect that new services will displace older.

It is also reasonable to expect that old services stay because we use it.

--On balance, the total package for Rogers Yahoo customers continues to improve in both scope and depth.

You just decreased it by taking out USENET

The cost for getting a usenet service from giganews is $30CAD minus the cost for launchcast $3.5CAD is 26.5CAD.

I demand a $26.5CAD discount
