Therefore I have a contract with Bell and I can sue them for interfering with my phone line. But why do we need a government and pay taxes if we have to fend ourselves?

TO BE FAIR THE lIBERALS ALSO GO ALONG WITH BAD BELL. I had spoken and asked directly Quebecs fininance minister Monique Foreget to deal with bad bell but she was hesitant to and i wondered why till I had next read that the new head of the Quebec’s pension fund is Michael Sabia, former head of Bell Canada Enterprises, who took over in March of this year.

QUEBCERS AND THE Quebec’s pension fund IS NOW IN REAL TROUBLE, JUST LOOK AT THE BAD EFFECT THE SAME PERSON SABIA HAD ON BELL, WHOSE STOCKS, SALES, SERVICES, CUSTOMER SATISFACTION HAVE GONE DONE DRASTICALLY. I HOPE THEY ARE ALL NOT STUPID ENOUGH TO LET HIM INVEST OUR MONEY INTO BELL AS WELL

so what does IGGY say about all of this?

Phone service is one thing.
Internet is another.

It is also why I’ve been saying all along that Bell should have been segregated into separately-owned and independent companies way back after Sympatico was born. If you’re going to have any kind of fair competition or even fair service pricing, the “telephone provider” should never have been allowed to also be an “internet service provider”, as well as a “satellite service provider” and “content provider”.

Bell’s been getting away with operating 4 companies with “separate” brands that we’re supposed to believe “can’t interact”, yet the shared resources between the “phone company” and the “internet company” are being used as a weapon against any fair competition. The same goes for the “content company” and the “internet company”.

If just the “internet company” alone had been taken out from under the Bell umbrella, we wouldn’t be having even half of these discussions. The infrastructure, which wouldn’t even have emerged without public money, should never have been run by anyone who is also competing for internet service.

I agree that the CRTC, and the Canadian government in general have failed us as consumers, and that Bell should be accountable to the courts, and the people they screwed over. It could be said with far less words.

This article makes the idea of a Class-Action look like only rambling fools with loose interpretations of reality are really interested in it.

Instead, I suggest a point-by-point interpretation – which I do not have time to write.

There is nothing for those using wholesale services that have been throttled without notice.

The only ones I can see being able to handle this would be the likes of PIAC, C.A.C., or the Quebec Consumers Union, maybe CIPPIC if its in their mandate.

Other than them, no clue.

So if Charles is serious, and wants to make four phone calls or write four Emails, these are the four groups I would pose my questions to.

This theme and topic comes up about twice a month. Most don’t want to go beyond writing a rant.

Based on the evidence provided by this coalition, you may also have the right to file with the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (which is free). But you will have to write it and word it according to how your rights are being invaded, and open for exploitation, since we all know this is Bell’s (and Rogers) next move (same with Cell).
