actually, he hasn't disincentivized tektalk or TSI for me.
dsl will have a modest drop of 2.29/mo total for me.
i pay 32.12$ total monthly for a landline, no services, with bell.
when the price for the new ata they want to offer goes up, it's time i drop bell and go to tektalk umlimited.
again, modest savings monthly 5.42$/mo.
7.73$ in my pocket.
no it's not a lot.
cost of the switch to tektalk gets recovered soon enuf on what i save and i'm off bell for good.
tektalk will get me a helluva lot more at a lower price than my no services landline.
i dropped videotron/tv some months back, put 34$/mo back in my pocket. what few shows i used to watch on tv i just download now. why pay for something that i didn't need.
41.73$ total in my pocket now.
yes, tsi dsl has gone up (base price, then having to start paying quebec sales tax) but i'm better off once i switch to tektalk than i was when i started with tsi 3.5 yrs ago.
dsl consumption rarely exceeds 125gb/mo. so i'm not a hardcore bandwidth user. generally it's 75 to 125gb max.
bell landline/videotron tv/tsi dsl ran me 88.33$ total january 2011 - tsi takes care of all 3 now, once i add tektalk, for 66.33$ (incl taxes).
having 1/4 less cost 2 yrs later for 3 services pretty much keeps me loyal to tsi.
