It sure is brutal trying to stay connected if you’re on a very tight budget.
Anyone remember how 6 years ago, it was in the news how American telecoms started offering unlimited full speed mobile data? The only reason that didn’t come to Canada was that “data caps were too lucrative.”
If Canadians weren’t so nice maybe we wouldn’t all just roll over and pay magnitudes more for fractions of what every other developed country in the world gets.
One has to wonder… Why doesn’t a single company just roll in and offer unlimited mobile data and shake things up? Oligopoly is the word you’re looking for, a handful of companies (ie the “big three”) operating together like a single, corporate monstrosity known as a monopoly thanks to the popularized board game
And now with Teksavvy looking for a buyer… I’m really bummed about this to be honest. I’ve been with them for almost ten years now and they’ve been the best.
Every time they raised their rates (because of the shitty policies of the CRTC) they always explained their reasons and apologized profusely. They always campaigned for lower rates and reported on shady dealings at the CRTC… sigh Depressing times.
I hope whoever buys them retains their customer service department. Seriously, best customer service I’ve ever had.
Teksavvy is selling? Dang. I switched to Fizz a couple years ago since it was a lot cheaper, but this is terrible news for themarket as a whole :(
