Jan 23rd, 2013 03:19 PM #143I just tried calling that number, explained the Express with 200GB/mo for $45 deal, and the guy said it was a student deal that they offered up until December. Said he couldn't find and had never heard of an 8-year price guarantee on anything , but that the student deal was for 8 months. Offered me the %25 off deal. He was sure that the student deal ended in December and that there were no similar offers at this time. Originally Posted by bkim3

Strange. I just mentioned that a friend of mine got the deal. After he took a minute or two, he confirmed it.
Region specific, maybe. Reply With Quote

Jan 23rd, 2013 05:44 PM #150There is a myth that the CRTC is responsible for the evil of low bandwidth caps that plauges Canadian Internet users. The CRTC's role in this matter, however, is more positive for consumers, but not unambiguously so. All the CRTC has done with respect to this issue is to prohibit phone and cable companies -- in their capacity as wholesalers to reselling ISPs -- from billing them on a per-GB basis (which would screw consumers and competitors). The problem isn't that the CRTC is too powerful, it's that it has fallen victim to regulatory capture and does not do enough to protect consumers, especially with respect to their dealings with ISPs and cellular phone providers. That's why anti-competitive, anti-consumer practices are able to fester in these domains. Originally Posted by simsimi1004
The CRTC and the government are incapable of making the simple distinctions that Adam Smith made nearly 2 centuries ago between consumer goods and infrastructure or between business domains where perfect competition is viable and ones that are meant to be natural monopolies. Fancy suits and high-end portable audio players, for instance, would be example of things that are consumer goods rather than infrastructure and of things that exist within a market that approaches perfect competition. Simply put, consumers have ready access to comparable alternatives or to more affordable inferior goods (a term that I use in the context of economics rather than in the context of quality) that can be used for much the same purposes. One can easily buy a suit not made by Armani or easily wear clothing other suits. Likewise, one can easily buy a portable audio player not made by Apple or find other means of listening to music. Thus, the success of a company like Apple or Armani in the marketplace is a function of their ability to find an optimal combination of product quality, brand promotion, and customer service (optimal in this case meaning that which maximizes profits, not that which is a subjective or an objective measure of excellence, the latter measure being the domain of consumers and reviewers). With Internet access, however, consumer choice is limited to either the companies that own the cable and copper infrastructure (with satellite, cellular, and wireless technologies being inferior goods in regions where this infrastructure is not readily available) or to the smaller companies that they wholesale to, with availability being further restricted in some regions. True, in some regions there may be limits on the physical availability of consumer goods that in theory can impose artificially high prices (and this remains an especially salient concern with respect to food prices in Northern Canada), but this can generally be mitigated through the use of Internet shopping, which can exert downward pressure on the price of consumer goods in sparsely populated regions where there would otherwise not be viable competition.
The CRTC should actually go further and force the cable and telephone companies to act only as wholesaler (and for its part, the government should form a PPP with IT companies not currently competing in the Canadian marketplace to build a national fibre optic network, though this is perhaps less vital than the concerns pertaining to the regulation of existing services). They benefited from a time when nobody was allowed to compete against them in building this infrastructure (which was a logical thing to do given the financial, logistical, and aesthetic consequences of their being too many build-outs) and should not be allowed to leverage advantages they acquired in the era of regulated monopolies in a different economic arrangement because it screws clients and potential competitors.
