This is garbage!

Our national regulator of telecom (the CRTC) is entirely and fully corrupt. The folks making decisions that change our lives are appointed former employees of the very corporations they're assigned to regulate.

Hmmm, conflict of interest? Yet the government and courts don't seem to care or notice.

The price of my DSL service will increase $22.50/month.
Ridiculous!

Loads of us in the forum have written to the CRTC many times, and they acknowledge our complaints in the ruling yet our voices don't even matter.

Today, many of us have begun a letter-writing campaign to our MPs and other concerned ministers... Sadly, these complaints will likely go unacknowledged as our government is also in the back pocket of corps like Bell.

Go over the CRTC and go directly to Industry Canada. I've been beating people over the head with this for the last year, the CRTC is useless because it's a regulatory body staffed with patronage appointments.

Industry Canada's useless too ... this needs to go to Federal courts for judicial review.

I agree with the above posters, hopefully this will go for judicial review....

I'd agree with that as well, but unfortunately most people have been slow moving against the CRTC, it's a massive regulatory agency that's out of step.

Regardless, I need to dust off my lists too.

Congratulations and Welcome to the American system of Government Regulation.

"Hoping" is a bit like praying. It doesn't do much if that's all we do. We all need to write our MPs, and express our concerns about the CRTC, or it'll be business as usual. If they only get a few complaints on an issue, they just chalk it up as a fringe issue for a few "kooks."

Re: This is garbage!

Always do... but bringing this to a judicial review is a bit beyond me as an individual.
