India High Speed Internet 4G - 2GB per day - Rs. 450 per month ($ 6.50) + plus unlimited nation-wide calling.Everything in Canada is an oligopoly.
[edit] Fixed reference to Rogers. Not to mention… Rogers is actively working to secure further control over the Canadian market through its acquisition of Shaw. Related to this outage though, I found it weird that my cell had no bars during the outage. Why would the “last mile”be out when it seems like the problem was their core backbone network that was at issue? I am very curious to read the post mortem on this one…
Wow, modern corporate finance really keeps surprising me

that's because your teksavvy service is over Shaw or Telus lines. This outage was out of Teksavvy's hands: if you were in their Rogers-based territory on DOCSIS, you were down with the ship.
I have Teksavvy via Cogeco and had no issues (obviously). I just discovered Rogers owns 41% of their shares though :|
Rogers only has 13% control of Cogeco itself: https://crtc.gc.ca/ownership/eng/cht043.pdf

I just can't believe how much relies on just one company Rogers seemingly every debit machine in Canada, anything to do with passports, many doctor's offices. A similar situation occurred just last April (2021). https://mobilesyrup.com/2021/04/20/nationwide-rogers-outage-...
Canadian ISPs definitely have a stronghold on the infrastructure. Can't call it a "monopoly" because there are three of them, but a common name given is "Robelus" which is portmanteau of Rogers/Bell/Telus. I don't have the numbers on how much they spend to lobby the government every year, but I imagine its a staggering sum.

don't worry, as with Shaw and Rogers, Audet family controls the votes through supervoting shares. This isn't a democracy. Rogers only has 13% control of Cogeco itself: https://crtc.gc.ca/ownership/eng/cht043.pdf

Canada is a country of oligopolies - everywhere from the products you can buy to the Federal Liberal Party's Trudeau Foundation being the receiving end for paid political favours. It is hard to think of areas where there is actual competition in Canada, because there are so few. Media? None, the Federal Liberals fund the approved media and leave the unapproved to fend for itself or die. The approved media is then hig…

And not sure why you seem so set on blaming the liberals and JT because basically nothing changed when JT took power except a different set/type of scandals and legal weed.
