Yes that's true but I think then its like saying… For gas prices to go down, don't buy gas and bike, bus or carpool. Nothing really changes…. lol and contracts have been around like this for years.

Of course there's something you can do: don't buy such a long contract! The only reason Canada has a 3-year standard for contracts is because we're a bunch of sheep, and will gladly pay whatever the pigopolists want.

This is why I'm waiting to see if Fido drops their monthly rates to match what's now being offered by Telus.
Fido also has a cancellation penalty, but at least they cap it at $400.

This is why contracts suck! lol Nothing we can do though… What we want, we sign our life's away to them!

Yep, contracts suck, but they do call them “Contracts” for a reason. You sign it, you agree to the service term.

From what was said in the post, if I wanted to cut expenses, I could just cut off the data plan and be charged a max of $100?
