    Canadians need to hold these greedy companies accountable by switching to Freedom, Fizz, Sasktel, Lum Mobile and Cooptel.

        these guys are not better lol, québecor runs quebec’s big right wing news network (JdeM, JdeQ, TVA, LCN and many others), they’re the murdoch/bolloré of quebec

        in telecom, they also own fizz, vidéotron and vmedia. honestly i consider them part of the oligopoly with the others.

          Of course. 🫩

          I think I should just not use a phone, and just get a small tablet and communicate with signal and email all the time.

        Happy to help!

        I forgot to mention Sogetel, they are a smaller mobile telecom company based in Quebec.

        I’ve got family in Newfoundland that have been with them for years. I’ve never heard any complaints, but none of them are tech people and none of them spend much time online at all so it’s not the best sample group. When I visit I don’t have any connection issues and speeds are generally pretty good, for what it’s worth.

      100% otherwise you’ll end up with Verizon. If the US can contribute anything to the conversation it’s to serve as a cautionary tale.

      Are any of those in Nova Scotia? If so, I can’t.

      I can technically do Eastlink… and there’s one other I can’t talk about yet that I know is coming soon.

      I got in on the 250gb worldwide plan for $40 with freedom, gone well so far and they have similar value deals pop up all the time.

      Now home Internet is the problem, only have shaw and telus as options.
