You know, ironically this happened to me too, though I walked away from my Rogers contract 2 days early, after I had called to make sure I was free and clear (they assured me I was). They sent me a bill for $150 on my way out the door, for early contract termination and for failure to give notice before porting. Of course, if you give notice that you're cancelling, you can't port your number.

I got them to refund the $100 after an extremely heated and profanity laced phone call. The extra month of service I took them to the CCTS over. It took a month, but we settled, and they reversed that fee as well.

I went to Wind. It'll be a cold day in hell before I go back to Rogers.

I am not the original poster, but I believe that I can point out a place where a true curve is used. I am a Biological Sciences major, and the majority of my undergrad classes used a "true" curve. Classes regularly had well over a 100 students and official department policy is to grade using a normal curve. The average is set to be a C+/B- for first years, about a B for second and third year courses, and a B for fourth year. And yes, many profs will actually show the normal curve, and where they set the letter grades around the distribution. This is at a major Canadian public university (over 30,000 students).
