Tomorrow I’ll be saying goodbye to two big companies here in the west coast. I’ll be getting rid of my cable provider Shaw, and my internet and home phone provider Telus.
Why you ask? Simple, I need to save money. Our combined monthly bills for phone, cable and internet are close to $180. Add my individual [...]

What is it with our Canadian Cell Phone companies of late.
Sure the Rogers iPhone rates have been a major discussion as of late with www.ruinediphone.com having more than 52,000 people signing their petition (as of this post).
Then of course was Bell’s introduction of the Samsung Instinct with an unlimited data plan for $10, and Telus’s [...]

I have signed it, you should too!
Update: Based on their Facebook page, this site has been blocked by Rogers (no surprise here), but you can still access the site via a webproxy. When I did and looked at their blog, it looks like the they have a new DNS and will need about 48 [...]

Ok this morning I get a call from Telus and asking to speak to Russ. When I let them know that he was at work, they asked me if I was the decision maker on the account. Now correct me if I am wrong, but since Russ’ name is on the phone bill, don’t [...]
