Re: Awfully Low... said by Deadpool:Is everyone missing the part where this affects NEW customers only? Existing customers are NOT affected by this change! Not to be overly cynical, but...
Do you really think existing customer will long be maintained in a grandfathered state?
Then again, you also seem to assume that they won't try to "double dip" on the net-neutrality front, either.
Market dominance (especially to the point of monopoly) are only ever good for one entity: the one that has that dominance. Customers with little to no choices always end up boned.

Well considering my Cell plan has been Grandfathered in for 7 years now.
And I have a grandfathered $5 a month for 1000 minutes Long distance for 2 years since it was width drawn....
Bell Canada is actually a bit famous for using Grandfather Clauses to try and cut down on the churn.

I've been with Sympatico since 1995. I still have the HSLD package of several years ago (1000 minutes of free long distance and $5.00 service discount).
