This is making the rounds in company emails at BTS. I poked around the bell.ca website quickly and couldn't find the comparable plans. Available at the BTS sales desk. I'm sure someone here would be willing to post that toll free number.
Yes, they also throw in the "special" package of tv with the channels from better and best. -- "Lord giveth but he also taketh away" »www.speedtest.net/result/2102768148.png
Problem is it reverts back to regular usage after 8 months so....seems kinda bunky to me...
For a fixed location service, it's pretty common for student offers to last only through the normal school year. It's somewhat odd that this one goes a month longer.
reply to insider_tech At those prices, and with those caps, Bell is selling their retail connection at less than what they charge their wholesalers (IISPs). So much for cost + 10%.
I think originally Bell wanted it to be retail -15%, but that got canned. Then the CRTC gave them cost + 15% for the legacy stuff and cost + 15% + 10% for the FTTN stuff... or something like that.
I thought it was retail -15% ? Either way the iisps are getting hosed again.
Cost +10% is the CRTC norm for "mandated essential service"
Internet is mandated non-essential and in Bell's pre-CBB filings, they tried going for multiple values ranging from retail -25% in their first UBB proposition to full-retail prices in their last UBB filing.
The current CBB rates are allegedly set at cost +15%. (The standard 10% + 5% extra markup to offset opportunity losses.)
