This small irregularities can happen on bell as well. All I'm saying is that I get a FAR superior signal (At least in Victoria BC) and better phones, and uncrippled bluetooth. But to an average Joe who just wants a cheap plan and a phone that makes call for cheap I won't argue.

Yeah I have noticed that Bell has taken that sort of non-chalant "oh well then leave" attitude towards customers lately if they call to report better plans elsewhere. Same for new customers. The current plans are not very enticing. Given the versatility and popularity of GSM I think that cdma carriers should be cutting prices or finding some sort of novel way to attract customers rather than telling them to go kiss it with the worst plans in Canada but who knows.

After all, majority of questions can be answered on the FAQ and services can be managed online.

But yah, have to call Rogers Internet enough times due to their horrible internet service in Markham and downtime.
