If you watch these games online will it count towards you internet download cap?

  Hi Daniel – Much like other video streaming sites, customers are responsible for any bandwidth usage beyond their monthly limit.

    Bwahahahaha
    
    Translation:
    
    Yes, while we DO offer Rogers On Demand ONLINE, you will be FURTHER charged if you go over your “limit”.
    
    AND if you’re on the UltraLite package with a 2Gb/month usage limit, you’ll be charged an additional $5 PER Gigabyte.
    
    Considering that an HD movie is over 1.2Gb, expect Ultralite users to be paying THROUGH the nose in overage fees.
    
    OH, and we just introduced Rogers SpeedBoost – which, essentially means we’re REMOVING our ITMP throttling, provided you sign up with our more expensive Extreme or Elite plans.
    
    Whee! Now you’ll be able to reach your usage limit FASTER!

      A person with the ultralite plan would not be downloading HD movies. That’s kinda the point of being on the ultralite plan, you use an ultra-lite amount of internet. It would take over 6 hours just to download an HD movie on the ultralite plan. If you want to download copious amounts of bandwidth you need to pay for it by signing up for one of the other plans.

    So in other words we’ll be charged for watching games on our computer instead of the TV if our TV is otherwise occupied (such as for video games as mentioned in the article).

      Addition to above: Great way for you guys to make some extra cash to buy some more arena/stadium/anything naming rights!
