Yeah, and I think it's shady when Freedom offers specific promotions for customers coming from specific carriers as well. Not that it will happen, but my hope is that the CRTC commission on sales...

This feels like a predatory tactic. It may not be illegal but it certainly should be.

If he feels that way, maybe they could start with consolidating Rogers/Fido/chatr/CityFone/etc.

Yeah, the fact they offer $15 with 4GB leaves a bad taste in my mouth when they turn around and claim $25/30 is a great deal for 1GB.

Fido, along with all other providers, have reasonable use as part of their terms and conditions. If it's costing them too much, you would probably be kindly asked to cut it out.

When dealing with a large company, in particular a Canadian telecom, acceptable and honourable business practices are niceties that are not often afforded. If there's no bill notice, and bear in mind...

It's a slippery slope thing, I imagine. As soon as they frame data as not being a limited resource, it would just be a matter of time for it to be chipped down from unreasonably expensive, to...

Large corporations oppose consumer friendly regulations? It's almost as if Videotron and Shaw aren't on the customer's side, but are really just looking out for themselves. Colour me shocked

I've always thought they should task Canada Post with maintaining a network that any provider could purchase wholesale access from.

I doubt the Canadian government would ban Huawei. It would be a huge thumbing of our nose at the Chinese government, which would not go over well. I could see a discrete suggestion of considering...

Loyalty isn't based on how long you've been a customer, but the ability to switch you to a more expensive plan on a two year contract.

You're an individual, 'negotiating' your wage with a huge corporation with multiple lawyers on board working out exactly how far they can turn the screws on you. Unions help to level that playing...

I've had a good experience with Speakout, I've been using it for my son's text only plan. At $10/month plus change for the 911 fee it seems reasonable.

My apologies as it seems like it has been updated since Friday. However in my defence, at the time of my original posting it was 24 months.

I can assure you, unless something has changed since Friday, the 5GB bonus is a time limited offer for 24 months at Fido.

If you look at their website, they advertise as 5GB plus 5GB bonus data....

It is definitely not permanent.

The +2GB promos were in line with what the big 3 offered last Black Friday, with the notable exception that instead of being built into the plan, they were limited to 2 year addons. Doesn't seem like...

Pretty much this. If they sent you the corrected contract right away, they might have some justification in giving you the option to return the device to have the contract annulled, but I don't think...

Four year terms? Lol. Well, if having to compete with MVNOs forces Bell out of business, at least they have a career in comedy all lined up.

Maybe they could pay their employees decent wages.

I suppose you could see if they'd restore your service on making a payment arrangement, then port it, if you're looking for a dodgy way to get your number ported without paying what you owe.

Considering that's verbatim from Fido's website, I'd consider your situation a fortunate accident, rather than an outcome that can be counted on.

In that situation, the only benefit of the 1000...

The subsidies cannot be modified by Retention. If you want a higher subsidy, you'll have to go with a Plus25/35 plan.

The $80 plan is a Plus15, whereas your current plan would qualify as a Plus10....

Sure, get the ball rolling Freedom. You can start with unlocking that phone for free that I asked you about last month lol.

It's locked, although from the sounds of it, it may be usable with Rogers/Chatr without unlocking.
