The Tribunal ordered Rogers to pay a $15 million penalty. The case centered on allegations by the Bureau that Rogers advertised its Infinite wireless plans as offering unlimited data, despite imposing significant speed reductions after customers reached a set amount of usage.

In addition to the financial penalty, the Tribunal ordered Rogers to publish a corrective notice and to pay the Bureau’s legal costs.
