Consumer action in Canada needs a swift kick in the butt.
Sadly, there's zero chance of that happening.

I work on the dark side because the pay is better than what I could get the Apple world. Sad but true

Folks please disregard my post. I was misinformed and should have researched more before posting. It has nothing to do with the CRTC. Please accept my apology for posting the information without researching it first.

Except I am willing to pay a few bucks more, not to give my money to Bell.

Unlike most, I have no complaints about my Rogers service. None. I've been surprisingly happy with it.

Too bad.... given Apple's "it just works" philosophy, you would hope that they help us find an answer to this problem. At least Steve is trying....

Again, I really think the anger needs to be directed to the government and CRTC. Our cell companies are just operating within the rules laid out to them.
Let's see you back-pedal on this one.

The CRTC does NOT have anything to do with the cellular companies, bandwidth allocation, etc.
Cellular (wireless) telephone services

Industry Canada controls all this:
Spectrum Management and Telecommunications - Home

So, ya. All your ranting about the CRTC? Typical ignorant consumer. Is it any wonder companies like Rogers don't care what you think? It's because you don't know what you are talking about!

Congrads.
