I recently had the classic Verizon $/KB vs cents/KB discussion with a Rogers representative before traveling to the US. Luckily their website was correct, and the information she read to me from their internal descriptions matched the website, but at that point Rogers quoted prices in c/KB, $/KB and $/MB on different plans, but in all cases they actually had the math correct vs what they actually bill, so the only issue was that she believed that $0.006/KB was cheaper then $1/MB and didn't want me to switch to a $1/MB plan. Unlike the now classic Verizon phone caller, I didn't keep repeating the same thing over and over hoping the rep would suddenly understand, but rather, I walked her through how to do the math using a pen and paper, and she was quite appreciative since she didn't really know how to visualize fractions of a penny, or the difference between a KB or MB.
