Canadians need to hold these greedy companies accountable by switching to Freedom, Fizz, Sasktel, Lum Mobile and Cooptel.

    ooo I thought Freedom was owned by the monopoly, but it was bought by Quebecor in 2022.

    Thanks for the list!

    these guys are not better lol, québecor runs quebec’s big right wing news network (JdeM, JdeQ, TVA, LCN and many others), they’re the murdoch/bolloré of quebec

    in telecom, they also own fizz, vidéotron and vmedia. honestly i consider them part of the oligopoly with the others.

    How is https://www.eastlink.ca ? I'm looking for an option in New Brunswick.

    I’ve got family in Newfoundland that have been with them for years. I’ve never heard any complaints, but none of them are tech people and none of them spend much time online at all so it’s not the best sample group. When I visit I don’t have any connection issues and speeds are generally pretty good, for what it’s worth.

    Are any of those in Nova Scotia? If so, I can't.

    I can technically do Eastlink... and there's one other I can't talk about yet that I know is coming soon.

    There is freedom coverage there.

    On a sidenote I always see you being cynical about switching to smaller alternatives.

    Only just saw this now because there's only a small indicator of replies. You always see whom being cynical about switching to smaller alternatives? I've personally been doing that forever. I can't speak for all of Nova Scotia though...
