Cheaper phone plans for Canadians could be closer than we think.

On Monday, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) announced that it’s reached a significant milestone in increasing phone services competition in Canada.

the CRTC seems to be a little bit better without that corrupt pos that had a secret meeting with Bell's CEO in a bar. Still not completely confident this will have a very significant effect on the prices. We just need basic plans for less than 20$ ffs. I don't need 60GB for 60$, I need 5GB for 20$.

Currently I use a 4GB data only tablet plan on my phone, its against their TOS but they can fuck themselves. I pay 21$ taxes in for my data and phone with a separate app (15$+3,60$). Until I can get that value without using weird workarounds, I won't be happy. I don't care about "ooga booga 0.1$/GB plan" but that forces me to get way too much. Even fizz is the same price as the others now

My work plan is 50GB high speed, unlimited data, unlimited call/text North America.

For $45.

They can offer these plans, thet just won't.

We fought with Bell to get a similar deal for our "corporate" (our small business + friends/family) plan. Ours is 20GB/ea on 5G, but it's pooled so we can support a few heavy users.

Bell making their wifi calling only available within Canada is the latest stupid thing I found. Otherwise I think we wrapped up most of the other extras.
