Canadian Broadband → Re: Differences between Teksavvy and Start

In the new tariffs there is language that prohibits using the name in conjunction with our service, so saying we have the same speed as x or that we are available in x territory is not allowed (and we have received a 'friendly notice' from x reminding us of such). Technically we likely are able to say that a problem was due to x but that never solves anything so we try to stay away from that too. Cogeco has applied to have similar language added to their tariffs which CNOC has opposed but there is no ruling yet.

I think it's probably prudent to distance yourselves from the peckerwoods incumbents anyways. I don't know why CNOC is opposed. If they were smart, they would have been the one applying for the language. Of course, that would require thinking outside the box.

To that end, I'm shocked that no-one on the indy side had applied for, or has asked for inclusion of, language that forbids the fuckwads incumbents from saying indy services aren't as fast as theirs, or are otherwise somehow hobbled.

And by peckerwoods fuckwads incumbents I mean red, blue, yellow, purple, striped, polka-dotted, whatever.
