I was wondering that, with Telus, Bell and Rogers all claiming to be the best. Rogers is the only one with data to back up their claim. Telus new network is to new to claim it being the most reliable

So the pot can afford lawyers as big as the kettle!
These days when consumer bureaus have been gutted and Joe User can't take on the giants, it's nice to see them get in shit somehow.
From hidden fees, draconian contracts, never mentioned user limits....
like nation-wide ads promoting "Internet Anywhere" that fail to mention you'll be in massive overcharge territory within 10 minutes if they ever worked at their promised speeds.....
but they are selling to a nation of dimwits. God knows how many ppl I've encountered dumb enough to consider one of their internet sticks for their family computer.

Guess who loses for all of this? Us. Because their bullshit lawsuits will lead to all of us getting the bill. Who wants to bet Bell will be jumping into this?

Lol fair enough but "Internet Anywhere" doesn't mean unlimited Internet, and the cap is in the fine print if you read it.

It isn't even that fine... but I don't think a large percentage of ppl CAN read anymore.

Or is it that a large percentage of people don't want to read.
