Cheaper phone plans for Canadians could be closer than we think.

On Monday, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) announced that it’s reached a significant milestone in increasing phone services competition in Canada.

    Bell is usually the only provider for fibre, as it usually replaces DSL and Rogers uses cable. Most of the time the starting price I’ve seen is about $100, but that’s for a gigabit minimum.

    On the other hand, $13?! I’ve never seen any sort of internet connection going for so cheap in the entire country!

      I’m in Montréal and I’m using Teksavvy as a provider. That’s the price they offer.

      I think having Vidéotron as a local competitor helps with prices.

        Wow. I’m on Teksavvy as well, but I don’t think they offer anything near that price in Toronto. Just goes to show that competition means a ton.
