“Customers could consider switching service providers,” an ISED Canada representative wrote Thursday, when asked for a response to price increases at Rogers Communications and reported hikes at Bell.
Switch to who? Another fucking country? Bell and Rogers are the only options, they own all the towers, they own all the fiber.
Rural coverage can be spotty, when I was with Telus connection was always great. However Fizz is worth that single minor inconvenience for the massive savings in price. My bill is a third of what my Telus bill was after 15ish years of ‘loyalty’ AND I went from some email data to all day video data. With Telus they would increase my bill for ‘competitive’ reasons every two years. Fizz emailed me to let me know my plan was a buck cheaper, a little goes a long way. +1 for Fizz if you have the opportunity.
I don’t understand at all what value add the flag ship brands have. Telus, Rogers, and Bell all seem to just be the same offer that is more expensive than their “discount” brands.

Honestly, there will be a point when it’s cheaper for most Canadian citizens to have a phone with a foreign carrier with a good international plan
