ban 3-year cellphone contracts

I have my doubts that there will be serious, significant improvement. Over the years, I have been with Bell, Rogers and now Telus. They are all stinkin' thieves but the advantage with Telus is that at least their service reps are polite on the phone as opposed to the clowns used by the other two. I would like to see the Feds step in and pass legislation allowing Canadians access to, for example, American carriers and while they are at it, eliminate what is effectively censorship, and allow us to chose what TV provider we want to use, be it Bull, Shaw, Dish or Direct TV. There ya go, talk about cell phone service, or lack thereof and I am on a rant again. Guess it's going to be a scotch day!!
 
I hear yaa EC..Telus is who I am with also since day one..Just the lesser evil..I hate getting roped into contracts..At the very least when you upgrade your plan I think it should carry through rather than having to start a new contract again..And yes please let us pay for what we want where we want.

Not that I pay for any TV subs..FTA all the way! There is more than enough to keep me happy with C and KU band up there for no charge.
 
No. no sub here, either. Far to much money for nothing in return. If I have seen a decent sub package it is with Skyvision on C-Band in the US but the receivers are an outrageous price and if you want satellite on more than one TV, each receiver must have a separate sub. As far as cell phones go, the contracts are all bogus. A contract, by it very definition goes two ways. Party A agrees to pay a specified amount and Party B agrees to provide a specified service or product. Now this is where cell phone contracts seem to break the definition because in the fine print they don't guarantee service. What the hell? If they don't guarantee to provide a service and said service is poor, why should the customer be expected to abide by their end of the contract and pay full amount? I would like to see this included in this so-called "Code of Conduct". If they can't guarantee service, I can't guarantee the money will be in my account to pay them.
 
Ugg, my Tmobile 2 year contract is ending soon and I am not sure what I am doing. Luckily Tmobile is the cheapest one. AT&T and Verizon are expensive. I used to have Sprint which has horrendous customer service. Since I live in a semi rural area I don't have a cell phone signal anyway so I just go with the cheapest plan. There are a lot of monthly pay as you go phones that they sell at walmart and kmart. Probably about 6 providers or so that are usually 25-50 a month.
