Supply chains, worker wages and the price of energy has been blamed for the current bout of high inflation. But central bankers around the world are starting to clue in to something consumers have been aware of for a while — corporations just aren’t afraid to raise their prices anymore.

    Bell showed up at my door with a two year plan that’s 1/3 of what I pay Shaw/Rogers now. Pretty much identical services but 35 instead of 98, plus another 10 off my wife’s cell phone for bundling.

    It’s going to be a pain to move the dozens of WiFi devices over, maybe a day or so but for $1000… I’ll find the time.

    The salesman told me old people on my block are turning it down because they don’t want change. One guy was paying 300/MTH for his bundle and would have saved 2/3 of that.

    People need to be less lazy. That’s what will create market pressure. Hustle for your money.

        And Rogers is a better option for you? Cuz around here, Bell is much better service.

              Everyone’s, in my area they are on Cogeco’s fiber (changes to coax at your house). They also use Bell’s copper lines and Rogers coax network.
