because bell's and rogers' scam tactics for profiteering are finally being exposed on a national level and people arent willing to take their anymore?
I'm on a grandfathered plan with unlimited bandwidth with bell, depending on the outcome of the revision, i may ditch bell at home, but i am for SURE ditching them at work.
the best way to piss off that greedy George Cope (Bell CEO) is hit him where it hurts: his wallet.

I was out planning the rally with the other 4 guys and calling as many news sources and media as possible. Read my earlier post about todays events. We're trying REALLY hard to give the rally as much publicity as possible.

This would be even bigger if Bell and Rogers didnt own the news stations. They wont cover the story because they know it will make their parent company look REALLY bad.
We did a lot of phone calls today about it and got so many rejections or were forwarded to some lame generic email.
Its so ing corrupt here, and im just beginning to get a taste of it first hand.

This video is ing AWESOME.
Take a look how George Burger of Teksavvy completely destroy two scumbags, Bell scam artist Mirko Bibic and some shareholder ****
Best quotes from him:
'Bandwidth costs virtually nothing.'
'I have no sympathy for you as a shareholder. I think whats better for the public.'
'Youre going to pay 2 dollars for every incremental gigabyte that costs 1 or 2 cents for them [Bell] to deliver.'
I can't wait to say YOU to bell and switch to Teksavvy.
The Internet is to the new economy what highways and railways were to the old: the essential ties that make commerce flow and fuel innovation. That’s why the federal telecommunications regulator has taken a wrong step with a decision that will force consumers and businesses to pay more for Internet use. The Conservative government is right to order a review.
The decision by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) tilts the Internet playing field in favour of the major service providers, such as Bell Canada and Shaw Communications. The big companies, which serve 96 per cent of Canadians, impose monthly caps on how much users can download – and charge hefty fees for those who go over the limits. They argue that so-called bandwidth hogs should pay more than the average emailer and Facebook addict.
The problem is that Internet use is changing fast. Canadians are among the biggest consumers of online video through services like Netflix. More and more businesses are using advanced online applications and websites with rich video content – but find that they or their customers are bumping into the monthly limits decreed by Bell, Shaw, Rogers and the others. If they go over they can find themselves paying $2 or more for every extra gigabyte of data – something that costs the providers as little as a penny.
Until the CRTC’s ruling, they could turn to small, independent providers that lease space on the big companies’ networks and offer “no limit” plans. Now the CRTC has effectively shut that down by allowing Bell and Shaw to impose the kind of “usage-based billing” (the more you use, the more you pay) on the independent providers that they charge their own customers. That makes it impossible for the independents to offer unlimited packages. The bottom line is that heavy Internet users will have nowhere to turn to avoid the limits – and fees – imposed by the major companies.
The stakes are bigger than heftier Bell bills for Netflix users and a few tech-savvy businesses. Canada lags behind other advanced countries in the speed, reliability and cost of Internet services. Bell and the others argue they need higher fees to maintain and expand the system – but so far they have failed to make that case with the public. Forcing a handful of upstart service providers to conform to the business model of the established companies will stifle, not encourage, competition in a sector where it’s badly needed.
No wonder consumer groups and the opposition parties are crying foul. Prime Minister Stephen Harper, clearly feeling the heat, says he’s concerned about the impact on consumers of the CRTC’s ruling. His government needs to come up with a plan to foster more competition and ensure that Canada is a leader, not a laggard, in Internet innovation.
I also think it's great how he compares the internet and it's infrastructure to highways and railways which are somewhat comparable in terms of greatly increasing advancement, how they are used, paid for and lifespan. Not to super finite resources which use of hurts the environment such as water, electricity, gas (no idea wtf was going on with that earlier in the thread???).

I was comparing those services/resources to net access and chem and moral were saying how the infrastructure was finite with net access. They were saying how it's IRRELEVANT of how finite certain resources are compared to others which is BS imo.
