We need to keep this fight going. To help I've started a dedicated blog called http://stopusagebasedbilling.wordpress.com/. Probably the most important thing in it is a glossary to help other non-technical Canadians understand the jargon so we can understand the issue BEFORE we start getting killed by this extortionate pricing. The other big thing we can do right now is to sign the online petition at http://dissolvethecrtc.ca/.

Sadly Bob, the CRTC ignored our comments/requests. And they received tons of them.

Well, it’s happened. UBB will be a reality in 90 days.

Thank you for posting the link to the CRTC “request” page. I’ve submitted my complaint.

I made some guesses about rate increases at http://thisblogisnotforreading.blogspot.com/2009/08/usage-based-billing-considered-harmful.html if you’re interested.

Excuse me for the language I’m about to use.

What the fuck is bell thinking. This is the most stupid plan every and only improves Bell’s profits. Meanwhile we have to tons more money to use the internet. I currently have TekSavvy and it has 200 GB a month which is pretty good for me. Now if this plan goes through I will have 60 GB. This will lead all small ISP’s to bankruptcy and make Bell one of the only companies out there to provide internet. Stupid Bell wants all the fucking money in Canada when they clearly have a multi billion dollar corp.

This is an outrage to all and nothing good could come of it. I pay 30 bucks for 200 GB and if this goes through I’ll pay about 170 (I crunched some numbers).

This is a selfish deed of Bell and I think they should slow down in terms of trying to dominate Canada’s economy.
