Nice to see that a signature matters every now and then. Now if only that other petition could get 357,000 sigs

THANK YOU TECHNO BOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And all the others for providing such great information.

Signed the petition - but I'm also writing my internet provider to let them know why I'll be switching to a low cost option - I don't trust them anymore and refuse to support a business that views their future as a semi monopoly milking a population into poverty and ignorance.

Thousands of companies around the world have better networks, better services and don't need to charge the ridiculously high prices found here.

I don't think we would have gotten as much support from the Liberals, NDP and PC if it was not for the up coming election. At least this will give us time and it helped people become aware of how greedy and controlling these companies have become.

The Cost of Bandwidth: Canada versus the World

The first bar for each provider is the 300 GB per month limited version of the pricing. The second bar shows the price per GB if the connection were used to its theoretical absolute maximum capacity.

Looks like a good protest in Toronto plenty of coverage from the media and politicians but no conservatives members.
