here it is..

- Roaming data - data is cut off once you hit $100 of overage unless you agree to pay additional charges (in other words once you hit a 100 dollar cap. they must call or ask you via text or sms if you want to continue to be billed.)
- Domestic data - data is cut off at $50 overage unless you agree to pay additional charges (in other words once you hit a 50 dollar cap. they must call or ask you via text or sms if you want to continue to be billed.)
- Unlocking - you can get your device unlocked after 90 days at Bell's rate. (there is no flat price set yet. i think it will vary from device.)
- Repairs - no monthly charges while your device is under warranty repair. (this means if you send your device in for repair or swap. from the time the ticket has been opened and acknowledged your service will be suspended and you will not incur any charges until you have a suitable replacement available)
- Early termination fees - Cancellation fee cannot exceed value of device subsidy. Each month, the device cost/(number of months of contract up to 24 months) is taken off the remainder of your subsidy balance. (this is pretty straight forward.)
- Cancellation - When you want to cancel it happens IMMEDIATELY. No more 30 days notice BS. Now we need a cable and telephone service code of conduct. (once you say cancel. service goes kaput. no more 30 day notice.)
- End of contract - The contract continues on the same terms after expiry. They have to notify you 30 days before the end of term. (once your contract expires and you move to month to month. your rate plan and terms will stay the same. no more peekaboo plan changes. if the carrier wishes to change anything they have to notify you before hand and at least 30 days before your contract end date.)
- It looks like larger business accounts are excluded from the rules. (any business accounts that do more then 2.5k per month are excluded.)
