Retroactive reduction of wholesale rates by CRTC

Most isps will likely have new prices in the coming weeks. I know Teksavvy is working on new rates currently. They will pass on the savings to their customers as they have in the past.

Sad as it seems, still going to be cheaper with the Rogers promos.

Thanks OP

Well, if you ignore the value of your time, maybe.

For example, no matter what promo my local cable company has, TekSavvy is always cheaper (apparently this is currently not the case with Rogers, though I expect their promo rates are still higher than everyday TekSavvy rates still, since their current promos assuredly account for the new rates that they are assuredly already privy to). But with TekSavvy, if rates go down (which has happened twice), my Internet costs go down. In the case of this current ruling, there is even a chance I'll get a retroactive discount; who knows. No need to call TekSavvy, deal with the retention team, get a hold of billing because the retention team didn't apply the discount properly, etc etc. Might not be your experience, but it is the experience of a number of my personal friends, especially with Rogers/Bell ... the latter notably worse.

Is Start going to reduce prices as well?

Thanks, it's been a long time coming but things are in good shape for competition in Canada again. We're still assessing the changes and will have to rebuild our cost models, etc but it will undoubtedly result in better packages, with faster speeds at better prices. There is still a chance of appeals or challenges, but the Commission really took their time and was quite throughout in their decision, using fact-based evidence, to have sound justification behind all the numbers.

i don't know how to read the rate table but it appears the reseller lowered their rates
