Shit, the last CRTC decision was basically designed to target us almost exclusively.
They wanted us to pay crazy rates and all because we offered a great Internet connection with great usage options....
In theory, and sure I'm prob'ly oversimplifying, that would seem to be all the more reason to diversify ASAP into Cable in as many areas as possible, to take some of the sting out of what happened to the DSL costs, and give yourselves more ways to skin the cat, no ? | |

Nah, Cogeco is the most expensive. Anybody who is selling Cogeco ATPIA is literally hurting their company.
We figured that just to break even on our existing subs, we would have had to raise rates by about $10/mth. How would you feel about raising rates like that on your neighbours when you just laid off 50 people? That's still true today, but now we feel like the CRTC decision, has got to be imminent, so we're going ahead with the migration this week coming up. And plus most of the others issues we had at the time last year are now under control largely.
