Re: Bill 60 In Québec I wonder if Bill 60 in Quebec will end up changing Bell Canada's business practices in Ontario too, or whether it will result in bell's quebec offering becoming more and more different than its ontario offerings.
And it becomes harder for Bell (and others) to have national ad campaigns unless they harmonise their national plans with those of Québec. |

canada | My understanding was that airlines are exempt from bill 60.
After all, we're getting our passengers bill of rights, right?

Sure, they'll harmonize, they'll raise the rates across the board to match the increased costs in Quebec.

Bell doesn't really have national advertising campaigns, though, that mention prices... What bell does is target regions, sends out reps (like they did in T/O), then sends out unsolicitated junk mail to people saying they can have fibe-25 for 30$.
Then when the sucker calls, they find out it's not available, and then try to reel the sucker in to buying regular "up to" 5-6 meg internet for 60$.
See:
»[Internet] Bell ...
Now if anyone here thinks Bell has no f'n clue what geographic region they have fibe-25 and thus iptv in and this is all a misunderstanding, I will call you insane.
This is no different than their commercials on TV claiming how fast they are, targeting the viewer, luring the viewer to buy into it, selling them fibe-7, then giving them 1.5-meg internet.
Do you honestly think they didn't know which area's have fibe-7?
It's not just the fact that they lure people with fraudulent pricing for services that don't even exist in their targeted area, it's also the fact that bell is pretending they don't know which geographic area's they have fibe-x.
Luring. |
