Makes sense why my phone provider was nagging like crazy to give me a phone for free with a 2 year plan.
Initially they offered a new phone for $30 and a month for cellphone and $20 plan upgrade on a $50 plan. So $100 a month.
I waited it out for a few weeks and it dropped to $0 for phone and 10 add-on to phone plan. So $60 total for the same device. Or $50 if we do direct withdrawal payments.
They knew free switching was in the works
Would be nice if CRTC rolled back its previous decision giving the ability for "the big three" ISPs to set the base price for third party resellers.
Not sure if anyone else noticed how cable and fiber has been getting more expensive where the speeds remain the same, but somehow cellphone plans keep getting cheaper where speeds and data increase
My reaction to this news was “oh yeah, that makes sense.”
And then I realized how seldom I’ve reacted to a news story that way in the last while.
