Sharon Vincent says it’s “disgusting” that Rogers Communications gave some customers a discount when they complained about price hikes to their monthly bills, but others — such as herself — got nothing.

She’s one of hundreds of Rogers customers who’ve written to Go Public, frustrated by monthly price increases to their bills they say were unexpected. Now, some are angry that friends and family who’ve complained to Rogers have had their bills lowered while others have struck out.

Canadians shouldn’t get unequal treatment from a company that’s received over $110-million dollars from the federal government over the past few years, says NDP MP Brian Masse, who’s raised the issue of Rogers’ price hikes on Parliament Hill.

Telecom is critical infrastructure and this country is too geographically large for for-profit companies to bring good, cost-effective service to everyone, especially in rural areas. They charge us some of if not the highest rates in the developed world. Their business practices are predatory. Not to mention Telus’ apparently unchallenged ingress into healthcare services.

Fucking nationalize it.
