I went through 2gb to cover work stuff just by myself. I would expect poor throughput and high ping, but like, half the time it was completely unable to connect to the tower at all and even when it could it couldn't even send or receive phone calls or SMS.

Listen, a doohickey went wonky, ok? What more do you need to know? 911 is mostly fine right now and you’ll get maybe $3. Back off, stop being rude.

Meanwhile https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/hamilton/rogers-outage-911-call-1.6516958 I really hope the government doesn’t just let them off without some major systemic changes other than “ok you guys promise to allow roaming onto your network when the other guy fucks up!” (Lol they will totally let them off scot free)

I feel like the CEO was telling an intern who wrote the letter to take promises out, and the person had to fight to keep in a "1 day off" refund.

During the outage (thankfully I wasn't affected) I saw local police + RCMP both send out facebook messages saying use something other than rogers if you have to call 911. I think best case scenario we can hope out of this is the shaw merger gets scuttled. I don't really see this affecting the status quo - if the liberals act like they're going to take a hard stance on it I doubt we'll see anything substantive, the next conservative govt will cozy up to the telcos like always. Remember when the united states broke up Bell and the company reformed itself like the T-1000? Good times

Yep the shaw merger dying is the best case. We won’t see any major changes with either a Liberal or CPC government and so it pretty much is just stuck barring some complete electoral shift. Seems like such an easy political win to rein in the oligopolies but I guess the lure of post politics board seats are too strong.

We already have some color coding going on with Rogers being red and Bell being blue. Dunno what NDP would be. I think of Wind being orange, and being small and mostly irrelevant and the option you go to when you're sick of Rogers...

How is SaskTel doing these days? I haven't heard much from them since CCPA's paper on comparing them with MTS after they were privatized but before the Bell purchase. From everything I've heard MTS continues to get worse. https://www.policyalternatives.ca/sites/default/files/uploads/publications/Manitoba%20Office/2015/06/Parables%20of%20Privatization.pdf

I would dearly love to stop receiving apologies from Rogers, I'm not even a Rogers customer. I am a technical contact for some of my clients though and apparently that entitles me to every single one of their apologies. Any more of these I'm I'm going to start submitting them to the CRTC as unsolicited mail since there's no unsubscribe link.

Telus is doing Canadian Telecom things and putting in an application to charge a 1.5% service fee (with taxes like a cherry on top of that) for anyone paying with a credit card. I believe it is currently only for mobile plans, but if this goes through it seems likely that everyone else will apply it, and then it will eventually apply to all services. https://mobilesyrup.com/2022/08/09/telus-crtc-request-credit-card-processing-fee/ https://www.iphoneincanada.ca/carriers/telus/telus-to-charge-fee-for-credit-card-payments-to-recover-processing-costs/ https://thedeepdive.ca/telus-looks-to-be-the-first-telecom-to-charge-credit-card-processing-fees/ If you are displeased with this change, you can voice a complaint by putting in an intervention with the CTRC here: https://applications.crtc.gc.ca/Com...2204816&TN=0573 at some point before September 7th, 2022. There's a draft circulating as a template for those who don't want to craft all of their own words: quote:To whom it may concern; I am writing regarding a proposal by Telus to add additional credit card processing fees of 1.5% on mobility accounts. I understand that this proposal is presently before the CRTC for approval. I am writing to express my strong disapproval of any credit card processing or other fees from mobility providers such as Telus. The CRTC must stand up for consumers and ensure that bills are clear to understand, that additional fees are strictly regulated and set out for a specific purpose, and to avoid fees which are expressed as a percentage. I urge you to refuse Telus' request for this additional fee on the grounds that it is unfriendly to consumers, particularly in an inflationary environment, that the fee is confusing and unjustifiable, and is a blatant attempt to increase profit margins to the detriment of consumers. Please do not allow the state of telecom companies in Canada to become even more unjustifiably expensive than it already is. Thank you. If enough people bitch about it we can probably look forward to the CRTC very loudly and publicly shutting it down, and then Telus re-applying in 6 months to a year and quietly sneaking it through the back door. But at least we can pretend we did something about it this time.
