- MattGaiser 6y agoFor internet? Where are you located? Even my grandparents in Northern Ontario have some 5 or so options, and not just skins of the Big 3. I checked 8 providers when I lived in Kingston. For cell phone, you are right.
- cmehdy 6y agoIf you're talking about Start, Tekksavy, Tbaytel and similar, they're all bound to Rogers or Bell. I think the user you're replying to is pretty much right when it comes to Canada, and it shows in the prices you get. Same thing for phones. A couple providers are through satellite and such in rural areas and in those cases it's typically even worse since the service truly sucks while costing much, and they're in no rush to do anything about it when there are issues on the line. And I'm not even talking about middle-of-nowhere stuff, just places north of Sudbury for example.
- throw0101a 6y agoThe telcos / cablecos run the wires, but are mandated by the CRTC (~FCC) to allow third-party ISPs access: * https://canadianisp.ca/ https://canadianisp.ca/ One is still limited to the limits of the underlying technology (e.g., copper distance with DSL), but it's better than nothing IMHO.
