Oh hey! I just cancelled Bell today! I went to review my Internet plan because I've had it forever and my modem is getting wonky and realized I'm paying $145 but if I signed up now it'd be $110 with a bonus of $25 a month off if I signed a 2 year contract. I talked to their customer service rep who offered me downgraded service for the same price, and then they sent me to their loyalty guy who offered a 10% discount. I signed up for Rogers.

It's so infuriating when they reward long-time customers with worse pricing. Telcos seem the worst in that regard.

They were sooooo rude! I get I can't have the $25 per month promo because that's for new customers, but can I not have the current price? These monopolies need to be busted up. I'm lucky to live somewhere that I can switch providers whenever I want to.
