Watch them jack up the monthly internet rates to a minimum of $80 a month to compensate for their losses when people in droves start dropping some of those dumbass channel bundles.

I'd get cable again if it was $25. Would be worth it to watch the news, sports, and star trek reruns.

did you see shaw's 'new packages'? less speed for higher prices, so they have already done it!

$1:

Some of Canada's major telecommunications companies such as Rogers, Telus and Shaw said they're looking forward to giving customers more choice.

Weren't Rogers and Shaw fighting to prevent this from happening? Cuz you'd think if they were looking forward to giving us more choice, the CRTC wouldn't have had to intervene in the first damn place

$25 per month base, $100 upcharge per month for TSN ...

It would almost be worth it . . if there were any programs worth watching that I don't already get free over the air.

Or will it end up costing me $25 plus $3 a month per channel and double my satellite bill?
I'll switch to Internet TV! Oh wait, they've all added enforced caps. It will be $3 per fucking episode....
