I just went to set up #TekSavvy for my new apartment and apparently the #FiberOptic line going into the building is blocked for #IndepententServiceProviders. I've been with TekSavvy for probably close to 20 years (National Capital Freenet before that).
Especially ridiculous that they can do this going into an #AffordableHousing building and charge tenants whatever ridiculous inflated rates they want.

Needless to say, that didn’t work in their favour.

Broke a contract, fight you in court, delay it for years, never see resolution #Competition act violation fine are a pittance, a company #BellCanada that has $1.6 billion profit and spends more on Lawyers to defend their moral lapses, gets a $10m fine? And they repeat it again, fined twice. They pay more for advertising, that's ineffective.

Bell made $2.89 billion in 2021.
I organized a small list (pardon the link to Twitter) of initiatives you can all donate to instead.

I'm also on a Class Action suit against #BellCanada for those things they do regularly that defraud customers, and take years and dollars to resolve in court. I have a collection of Bell #Lawsuits, that's what our over-priced #BCE bills pay for, their incompetence and corruption. CEO left with more money than #BellLetsTalk raised.

Never on #Mastodon for 26 Jan. before. That's the #BellLetsTalk day. #Bell will not measure your amplified boosts, they don't care about #MentalHealth, it's a #Marketing ploy.
(I've examples)
The history of the campaign includes firing those who had #MH needs & corporate abuses by executives of #bellcanada Don't be part of the illusion. Just ignore it. I kept notes of *good* that comes from BLT campaign, 1.6b profits, as much as they pay their lawyers to fight customers https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/bell-customer-wins-court-battle-over-contract-1.4635118
