Stop The Meter On Your Internet Use
 

Internet Service Providers (ISPs) are about to impose usage-based billing on YOU.


This means we're looking at a future where ISPs will charge per byte, the way they do with smart phones. If we allow this to happen Canadians will have no choice but to pay MUCH more for less Internet. Big Telecom companies are obviously trying to gouge consumers, control the Internet market, and ensure that consumers continue to subscribe to their television services.

These Big Telecom companies are forcing small competing ISPs to adopt the same pricing scheme, so that we have no choice but to pay these punitive fees.

This will crush innovative services, Canada's digital competitiveness, and your wallet.

We urgently need to send a clear message to Ottawa, saying that we won't stand by while some of the most profitable companies in the country indiscriminately add news fees to our Internet bills. Enough is enough.

UPDATE: The CRTC is set to make a critical decision about Internet metering in a matter of days!

Please sign the petition here.

Thanks!

Signed.

signed - I use Teksavvy (bell reseller) but the owner Rocco is also trying to derail the motives of the big 3 and their monopoly on the country.

Done.

I so wouldn't be surprised if I just signed up to get telemarketing calls at 10pm at night and more junk mail in both my email and mail box. That's the *real* beauty of playing on the internet.

I signed up for those late night calls as well lol

Please, this is a serious issue and insinuating that the petition will sign you up for telemarketing calls does not help the issue.

That being said, thanks for taking the time to sign it and please forward the link to anyone who cares about fair competition for ISP's in Canada!

Signed, and forwarded this to all my contacts. Hopefully they'll sign, too.
What a crock of sh*t this is. We are forever paying more for less. Thanks for the thread.

Done, thanks for the heads up!

Signed...thanks for passing the info on.

wow this is horrible idea. Good for IPSs and very bad for consumers. Signed and forwarded to others
