Potential end of unlimited internet: Bell's tariff request
Bell has decided to take the issue of unrestricted/unfiltered access to the federal Cabinet and at the same time has filed a tariff application with the CRTC proposing to introduce Usage Based Billing (UBB) on its wholesale customer accounts.
If Bell were to be allowed to introduce UBB on this service, a cap of 60GB would be imposed on all of its users, with very heavy penalties per Gigabyte afterwards. This would inherently all but remove Unlimited internet services in Ontario/Quebec and potentially cause large increases in internet costs from month to month
If you'd like to make your comments/concerns known about what Bell is attempting to do, please do so here:
http://support.crtc.gc.ca/crtcsubmi...com.aspx?lang=e
Select the word "Tariff" from the drop down list.
Add the following in Subject Line "File Number # 8740-B2-200904989 - Bell Canada - TN 7181" and make your thoughts known!
The deadline for filing your comments is today at midnight, so hurry
Feel free to use this statement as your comment:
I urge the commission to reject Bell Canada's tariff application as it is not in the best interest of the consumer and does not promote open and fair competition. If approved, this tariff would inherently all but remove unlimited internet services in Ontario/Quebec and potentially cause large increases in internet costs from month to month. For Canada to remain competitive we need to ensure costs are decreasing, access is increasing and technology is evolving. Bell's tariff request goes against all of those principles.
