Gouge Away!

Fast on the heels of my last blog entry, Rogers today announced they would be increasing the price of their home phone "system access fee" by 30%. Consumers who were willing to sign a contract after being tempted with low rates are out of luck as usual. To make things worse, increasing the system access fee also allows Rogers to advertise the same rates to people as they were before.

This is in sharp contrast to our friends south of the border, who were able to nullify their cell phone contracts after Verizon increased their text messaging fees.

Where is the protection for Canadians?
