| Bell to remove throttle and compensate users.
Bell annouced today that it will remove all throttle and revert back to unlimited usage.
In addition to the removal of B/W limits and the throttle, Bell spokewoman Avril La-Poisson said, "Bell-Sympatico will also include a 20$ compensation for each month a user was throttled".
Industry leaders denounce this as a tactic to gain market share since Bells 1st quarter earnings took a nose dive.

One MIGHT bite on the "remove throttling", but the unbelievable part was the compensating users ... that ain't gonna happen except by court order! |

join:2007-10-24 | reply to Poisson Aw, you beat me to the punch. I had already done up my own April Fools "press release" from Bell. Ah well, I posted it anyway. Mine's not as optimistic as yours, however...
Happy April Fools! |
