That looks like a cell tower list not a list of alternatives.
Mobile network operators (MNOs)
Nearly everything is owned by Bell, Telus, Rogers and if you travel roam they end up being your national roaming option with most of the other options.
An orange is not an orange according to your comment.
What do you mean it’s not a list of alternatives when it shows towers owned by different operators pinned on the map. Vidéotron has a lot of towers and so does Sasktel.
Yes, when you travel outside your area the other operators do pay fees to the big three but it is still less overall than what you would pay directly as the other telecoms have more bargaining power thus bringing down the costs for everyone.
Fizz often have promos where you accumulate rewards such as monthly rebates after certain milestones. It’s currently costing me $28/mo (+tx) for 20GB after some small rebate. And they do data carry over for a couple of months, so I basically always have 40+GB in bank. I tend to buy my phones upfront when I get a good deal, and keep them until they stop doing the job, or when I don’t or want to change it for whatever reason, I resell/hand down/donate them. Phone plans just keep getting cheaper for me, which is a nice change of pace from most expenses in my life these days… But you have to stop the loop of financing with the Big 3 and getting two year plans, and either financing yourself or ideally saving and paying cash, or some mix of both…
Boy, so as long as I never leave the GTA I’ll be set.
Also the flanker brands owned by the big 3 are:
Rogers: Fido, Chatr.
Telus: Koodo Mobile, Public Mobile.
Bell: Virgin Plus and Lucky Mobile.
Who owns Fizz?
Vidéotron.
Videotron, who own Freedom/Wind now.
Freedom user here, my service got a lot better when Videotron took over Freedom from Shaw. Not saying Shaw did a bad job, but Freedom has always had a reputation among some for poor service coverage (which I’ve personally rarely seen anyway) and after the switch, it became even better.
That’s a funny typo
The big 3 have too much market share at 86%!
Lol Saskatchewan and sasktel. Will have to open in desktop, it’s not mobile friendly.
I use public Mobile, but it’s owned by Telus.
Teksavvy for Internet.
I would blame the Saskatchewan Party for that as they trying to ruin the crown corporation by using expensive contractors to do shoddy jobs and then have the customers complain thus the public turning against Sasktel so that the big 3 can swoop and buy all the towers in the province to screw over everyone with price gauging.
oxiois almost half what Teksavvy charges (Hamilton, 120 down - 10 up $49 vs Teksavvy’s $90, albeit they’re on limited sale now)
Koodo offers internet in Ontario with similar pricing to oxio.
Let’s foster some competition folks!
How?
-By writing to your mla/mpp demanding a crown corporation telecom
-Vote out the Saskatchewan Party
-Tell your mp to strengthen the CRTC and to support the smaller telecom players
-Switch to a smaller telecom brand such as Sasktel, Vidéotron, Fizz, Freedom Mobile, Lüm Mobile.
How old are you btw? I mean that, we’ve been trying and demanding that for decades. But it got us nowhere. That’s why I’m past asking for stuff, I just had hoped the younger generation wouldn’t go through the same loop and just realize that the system doesn’t work. I had hoped the younger would just jump to revolution. I can’t lead it but I know how to build stuff! Pires, BBQs that can cook a billionaire sized pig, these contraptions that they used to use in France, forget the name.
Anyways I’m ready when young people are
