This monopoly is actually disrupted in the province of Saskatchewan where there exists a government-owned telecom provider, SaskTel.
The existence of this provider has driven down prices from the big 3 (Telus, Bell, Rogers) because they have to compete with the offerings of this reasonably priced provider that isn't driven by profit.
I use Teksavvy in Ontario because they truly have the interest of consumers in mind. I've actually had them lower my bill after they were allowed to cut costs due to CRTC regulations. Unfortunately these regulations are being attacked by the current head of the CRTC who is a plug for the big 3.
It's a really sad state of affairs in Canada. All we can do is keep supporting companies that fight for the consumer.
