Telecom math is some of the most mysterious math on the planet. Pretty much every year like clockwork, my partner and I switch providers to get better pricing.

Basically how it works:

Internet 200$

Discount -100$

Additional fee 25$

Digital discount -25$

Fee 100$

12 month contract -100$

Modem rental $50

Contract modem discount -$50

Bill: $100

Fuckin ridiculous

Glad to have switched to a third party provider, even if they're using Telus lines for fibre.

Took me 2 hours to cancel my out of contract services, and 15 minutes to sign up with the new provider. 🫠

Who is it that you are using?

Lightspeed in Victoria. They use shaw for cable, and telus for fibre now.
