Perhaps that's why Bell bought Virgin Mobile. Virgin has 300,000+ customers and the highest customer satisfaction among any cellphone company in Canada.

Which itself is odd, considering :

1) MY own nightmare, er, experience, with Virgin - Don't get me started....

2) Virgin was 50% Bell-owned from the start.

3) Virgin had attracted most of those customers from Bell, and Bell essentially just bought them back - now they'll all have to leave again ? - How Ironic !

Personally, I would not stop the merger - just put conditions on it that they have to spin the cell phone Virgin and Telus back off as a competitor

They actually didn't "buy" Virgin Mobile, they just bought out the half they didn't own.

Virgin used Bell has their carrier anyways, so there really wasn't alot of difference. I suspect that we're either going to see the Solo brand disappear or the Virgin one. Either way they will be come the low cost BellER
