    Telecom math is some of the most mysterious math on the planet. Pretty much every year like clockwork, my partner and I switch providers to get better pricing.

      Discount -100$

      Additional fee 25$

      Digital discount -25$

      Fee 100$

      12 month contract -100$

      Modem rental $50

      Contract modem discount -$50

    Glad to have switched to a third party provider, even if they’re using Telus lines for fibre.

    Took me 2 hours to cancel my out of contract services, and 15 minutes to sign up with the new provider. 🫠
