Wireless Code of Conduct

[Aurioh]

I didn't see a thread about this so I figured I'd start one to spread the news. So as of June 3rd, a Wireless Code of Conduct came into effect. The biggest change that affects us the most is that there are now no cancellation fees after 2 years in a contract. So if you signed up prior to June 3rd 2013 and are stuck in a 3 year contract, you can now cancel without a cancellation fee. I think that for those who are still within 2 years, they also capped the max cancellation fee at $50 (you'll probably want to double check this).

Also, they have now capped data overusage fees to $50 within your network covered area and $100 on roaming fees.

For those who want to continue services with your provider, this means you get significantly more leverage in negotiations for a better service plan. I actually just bought out the rest of my contract (I paid only the remaining cost of my phone because I got my phone at a subsidized price) with Rogers and negotiated a significantly better plan, with the added bonus that I am no longer on a contract.

There are a lot more changes that you can view on their website, but I think these are some of the biggest points. The Wireless Code, simplified

It should be noted that none of this applies if you are on a corporate plan through your employer. This code of conduct only applies to personal contracts.

Fuck this shit, I'm now paying more and getting less thanks to OpenMedia and all the whiners.
