Wait until they cap the cellphones to 4 calls per day.

More than 4 calls a day, you MUST use a BELL Pay Phone at 35 cents a call.

Another revenue stream coming soon to a city near you…. Bell Canada.

BTW, Acanac is not a “wholesale ISP”. It is an independant ISP. It sells ISP services at the retail level.

The fact that it purchases some Bell telecom service doesn’t make it “wholesale”. Is the Royal Bank a “wholesale” bank because it buys telecom services from Bell ?

I know this is rather pedantic, but because of Bell’s insistance of using this wholesale, “white label reseller” etc terminology to throw the people, politicians and CRTC off track, it is important that we use the right terminology and not accept any of the false terminology used by Bell Canada.

Yet again Bell are trying to beat the competition, not with improved customer service; pricing; bandwidth caps or features: But with anti-competitive behavior.

Please, God, don’t let them get away with this sh*t

I’ve got a even better plan for bell to free up network space.
Tell all their customers to sign up with someone else.
I pitty anyone forced to use bell as their isp

I think Bell is going to use the CRTC and courts to finacially beat the wholesale ISP’s.

Seems like it’s time for the CRTC to confiscate all the local lines and operate them as a public utility.
