Bell Proposing Usage-Based Billing

Posted by samzenpus on from the pay-the-man dept.

Idiomatick writes "Bell Canada is attempting to impose UBB on its wholesale customers. As Bell was given a last-mile monopoly in much of Canada by the government, they are required to follow rules set up by the CRTC; this includes leasing their lines to competitive ISPs. And they are given a directive by the CRTC to provide competitive speeds to said ISPs. Teksavvy has informed its customers that were this to go through, the current monthly cap would be quartered and the cost for exceeding it would be 'multiple times more than our current per Gigabyte rate of $0.25/GB on overages.' They have also helpfully included a link where you can send your comments/concerns to the CRTC directly."

    Yeah. The AWESOME porn choices are endless!

    You can get used school girls' panties at vending machines, and act like it's totally normal.

    OR
    Buy mangas with shitting dick-nipples in them, and act like it's totally normal.

    OR
    Can play "Say the tongue-twister correctly and get loads of money. Say it wrong, and get a kick in the balls." on live countrywide TV, and act like it's totally normal.

    OR
    Go to school, and then after school, go to private lessons, then go home and do your homework, then go to bed, for the first quarter of your life. And act like it's totally normal.

    OR
    Pay $5000 for a 30 m2 apartment, share it with 5 other people, so you can pay the rent, and act like it's totally normal.

    And those usually include being pressed into subway trains by the staff, until you can't breathe anymore... optional raw fish in algae as food etc.etc...

    Why does Japan suck so bad?
