Bell has got my mother completely brainwashed, she's paying $20-50 a month extra for usage. I showed her Teksavvy but she refuses to leave Bell because they told her she is a valued customer.
teksavy is the BEST. Canada is behind the rest of the world in the internet. stop inventing your own imaginary excuses. no other countries have this problem you liars.
"I love this policy because i'm a shareholder, if you could suck every last cent out of users i'd be happy for you." ~Leary. Interesting statement to be made. Not to take it out of context, I believe he was referring to the heavy users. However the statement made sums up what Bell is trying to do. Just imagine Bell as a group of Shareholders like this guy. Bell is a vastly huge company that is not going down due to costs of operation, they just want more profit instead of improving.
Leary is correct (as a shareholder) to like UBB. It is an amazingly dark way to suck money out of people without improving existing networks. However if its approved. The only real alternative is to go to another country, because its a form of tyranny and there is no other option (Rogers is about the same).
Funny how O'Leary keeps talking about foreign investment meanwhile Naguib Sawiris was recently interviewed by Lang and talked about how much of a mistake it was to invest in Canada when the market is so closed to protect the duopoly of Bell and Rogers, exactly what Burger said the problem is. CBC is a disgrace to continues to employ O'Leary,
It's refreshing to see a ISP provider not focus on screwing the consumer. teksavv charges around $30-40 but it's way better than the caps rogers and bell have.
There are many people who's job revolves around internet usage such as professors teaching online courses through streaming services and even larger businesses use programs like Skype to keep in touch and have online meetings with other people.
With UBB you're practically paying extra fees just to do your own job.
I thank Teksavvy for defending consumer's wallets and hope they grow in popularity.
Bell is a joke and the only reason they were allowed such abuses were because they had Jim Prentice(former minister of industry) on their future payroll(now hired by Bell)
note how much the purple suit guy blinks. thats a true sign of bullshit. someone should edit an anus over his mouth. because all that comes out his mouth is crap.
Just signed up with Teksavvy, service is actually better then Rogers Cable (20mbps down, 500k up) over barely 12mbps Rogers. 300 Gigs, no more crappy low cap crap. Bell and Rogers are done.
I have traveled to many places and I can tell you that we in Canada have one of the WORST and most EXPENSIVE services in the WORLD! for internet and mobile phones! when I talked to some people overseas that we have data caps and have to pay extra if we go a gig over they couldn't believe! me and they say what year are you guys living in? when I tell them that when I make a call i have to pay and the person receiving the same call has to also pay for the same phone call they just laugh!
I just canceled my internet with Robbers! the biggest issue we have in Canada is that people are so misinformed or some are simply "sheep" that they believe whatever excuse those two big robbers and bell make. they are making billions. their excuse is often "land mass" which is B.S since we have population mostly in certain areas. the infrastructural is there and bandwidth doesn't cost them anything while we pay for it over and over by huge mark up! we should be paying at least 60% less!!
I wish that the CBC would axe O'Leary. I enjoy the CBC but as soon as that narcissistic mouthpiece opens his yap I always hit the mute button. I'd love to see him lose his shirt in the "next" financial crisis.
Omg i used rogers for years no problem. Im now a Hardcore gamer and 175 GB just doesnt cut it. People this generation are using the internet more than ever. Its 2011 not 2000, we have computers, mobile wireless devices, x box, ps3. Rogers is killing me with their bills. Their bandwidth is unbareable, i never knew there were any other ISP other than Bell and Rogers. Im planning to switch over to Teksavvy because of positive reviews and unlimited bandwidth for lower prices!!!
Wow... I always liked that guy on Dragons Den, he was Hilarious... a bit of an asshole, but hilarious.
I always figured he was a smart business man; but I didn't realize how numb wealth and power makes a person when it comes to public relations and needs. It must be nice to be sitting up on a millionaire high-horse and not realizing the difficulties of raising a $50 internet bill to $100+ causes in the average household or for internet based business entrepreneurs. What an asshole.
George, I want to shake your hand and give you an uncompromised 'man hug'. It's fantastic to hear someone tell the truth, and not cave to BS. TekSavvy and its staff have my business, my thanks, my respect and my total support and best wishes for their fight. He totally slam dunked those other two guys with simple, calm truth. Brilliant!
kevin o'leary is a egotistical jerk to have two companies that control everything less choice for the public I am with Tek Savvy now yes my DSL 5 megs and yes I could go to cable but Tek Savvy wants the CRTC to allow them to sell the same service but good luck Bell Rogers have the CRTC in their back pockets
fucking kevin o'leary is dumb fucking retard low resolution porn watching leech whos miserable that he has to watch porn at such low quality that his old ass trophy tramp of a wife cannot possibly comprehend how anyone can jerk off to 4 pixels refreshing at 60 hz on his 200 inch plasma that he bought with his shitty internet company no ones ever heard of.
@coolnewshoes You can compare the crude/oil prices as well as looking up recent history of the Nasdaq/DOW market for what they show in this broadcast. Or ask the post of the video.
The very moment that Rogers set a cap AND hiked up prices AND removed our discounted price after being a loyal customer, I ran to Teksavvy and never turned back.
STFU You bald overweight piece of shit ...prancing around in a suit talking about stocks and share holders......get over yourself, you're not even good looking. Everybody knows the roller coaster that is the stock market is the reason for our economic failures.
CANADA IS ALREADY ONE OF THE MOST EXPENSIVE IN THE WORLD! Wake up buyers and let's stick together. Unity is the tactic the big corporations use to gouge us. Unity brought down the tyrants in Tunisia and Egypt. Let's not buy in. If everyone downgraded their plans to avoid data until the costs were reversed it wouldn't be long folks.
@w0rsel remember Rogers is just the same and these guys are actually are insane they see the people (customers) as parasites.... they should be all in a mental institution with no light.
@zoopyjoobles I hear ya, Bell gave me a better package deal then Teksavvy's when I wanted to leave them and I said exactly that " I'd rather pay more with TekSavvy then support Bell"
@zoopyjoobles, LOL exactly my sentiments. We finally have a reputable company that actually cares for its clients and now Hell and Robbers are trying to indirectly shut them down. We stand united, they can't bully us.
@Tapewormz Anybody with half a brain would know this.
I remember when Bell came out with the 5gb limit 8 or 9 some odd years ago...don't remember exactly. They were saying the exact same thing they are crying about today ..."this wont effect 99% of the people." Bullshit! At that time more people had 2 - 3+ pcs in their homes ...online multiplayer gaming on the PC was huge...5 gb my ass. I made a decision then to leave these bloodsuckers and I have not looked back. No land line for me either.
that "Kevin" guy needs to be stoned in fucking times square man, like seriously he needs to fucking die, he's nothing but a greedy swine, and on this congestion, bell just doesnt what to sink money into upgradeing thier old shitty severs like fuck! this country is heading toward full blown anarchy, and Chaos will Reign boys and girls! its time to upset the established order, its time the rich find out what its like to be poor, its time for goverments to be afraid of thier poeple, it is time!
@reignofchaos968 He's a very rich and smart business man. Unfortunately, he's only looking at this from one very narrow point of view which isn't in the best interest of canadians. He's only looking at this from the point of view of his wallet and money coming in.
And for the record as a tech that has switched over 5000 people + to other ISPs from bell I can tell you their not fighting in competitive ways for users because of healthy compition... most people didn't know they had a choice... Bell provides unstable crappy internet with tech support staff 90% of us can't understand.... they take our job and our moneys and send them over seas....while claiming they are a "Canadian company"....
Now that people know they have a choice Bell is crying foul.
@Bizziboy Sadly the only foul that is going on is us not stopping Bell from doing this capping crap in the first place.... that's Canadians fault.... but rest assured we are now taking steps to correct this.
Again, if not for Bell and rogers duopoly they would have both become extinct long long ago... noone likes Bell or rogers... most just didn't know there were alternatives.
What I find most disturbing is how noone mentions the small business owners and internet business who will go bust
If anyone sees that "Shareholder" punch him in the face. It's people like that that are forcing us to be the laughing stock of developed countries. People like him should have to actually work for a living instead of being a parasite and trying to make money off other peoples hard work... speaking of parasites. If bell was not allowed to monopolize the phone lines etc in the first place we wouldn't be having this issue at all speaking of parasites once again....
@Bizziboy, the Bell lines are created from a "parasite-style" of using tax payers' dollars, then turning around and devouring its source of nourishment. Interesting how Mr. angry tough guy shareholder uses the word "parasite".
In realty I do not have cable as it's to expensive and I am not paying to be force feed advertisements for over 50 % of air time. I will not pay to be spammed..... I watch tv shows online.... no ads.... I am willing to pay for that. For those who actually provide the shows..... not the middle man (Bell and rogers) Cable sucks... internet rocks...
Bell and Rogers needs to understand for their obsessive greed their is a price to pay. If not for their monopoly they would have been extinct long ago
The froced ubb is why the other isp are doing so well. Yes Bell and rogers have been screwing everyone for years now..... at least they admitted that. Many of us have switched because of it... which Bell thought was cute until many many many of us switched and they started to lose mass profits. Now they are trying to kill their competitors with UBB forcing us at gun point to have the same services as bell and rogers. And eventually killing off their competition giving them back their monopoly
@Bizziboy This guy was like a fucking robot feeding people bullshit lines his bosses feed to him. He represents Bell not the people... we have said it's not okay end of story... why they think they can debate ripping us off and forcing us to be the only country in developed nations to have UBB so they can get more rich is just disgusting and insulting to every single Canadian even if they don't realize it.
Bell and Rogers have always been heartless con-artists this UBB is physical proof of it.
Mirko Bibic suck my d bell provide us the highest bandwidth what are u smoke i want to some of that bell and roger both companies of them are biggest cock suckers u can find in canada many many Canadian hate these asshole
And I must add it's a sad state of affairs when we have to be ecstatic to finally watch someone in public who really says like it is, instead of trying to paint a bunch of lies to be a public opinion.
I love the way Burger shuts down O Leary that greedy F@#K. The Taxpayers through the Government of Canada paid to build their infrastructures.That is why the government opened Tel-com and Internet to competition because they watched as internet pricing went up 500% in 20 years. Instead of fair value like the rest of the world. That is why the duopoly must go.
The investor guy is totally in the wrong. Bell and Rogers have monopolies supported by the government. Sure it is a nice place to be as an investor. But the government should not be supporting massive private profits by legislation. We need fair competition. Let the small ISP's buy bulk rate bandwidth and let them price it to their customer however. Bell should have no input and a totally hands off policy on the bandwidth sold in bulk.
So once again because of some old farts back east in the CRTC Canadians are losing out to modern technology and power of the internet, if that does not make Canadians mad...then nothing short of full out communism will get our attention.
"Only 10 % of our customers. It's that small." WTF - 10% of your customers and growing is a HUGE number. Man that guy from bell is full of it, I wander how much he got paid for that "interview". Teksavvy FTW!
I like how Bell argues that only 10% of its users trigger the data cap. How many more aren't triggering it because they KNOW the stupid cap is in place? It's ridiculous to assume that 90% of Canadians don't care about low bandwidth caps.
Bibic talks about "those users CAUSING congestion" will pay the most. Then he goes in front of the Commons Committee and says "there is no congestion". He did not use a future tense in this interview, so how do you believe him?
@stanley2toronto i'v boycott bell for years simply based on their service being shit.... rogers is shit to but a few shades less shitty lol... if there were more companies out there to produce good compitition than maybe we would get some good service
There is NO congestion at the LAST MILE even BELL admitted that. They might be congestion on their end not the last mile. Also they have IPTV which uses more bandwidth, so isn't that conflict of interest? Why should we subsidize their costs?
This is hilarious. Bell is gonna run their name into the ground until nobody will have anything to do with them. Good for them. I will actually enjoy watching them take this to the grave. It never ceases to amaze me how these white collar people think they can go on TV and fool everyone. True losers in every sense of the word.
Wow...Kevin O'Leary surelly knows about technology, wireless networks will replace normal land connections in the near future.... bet he meant the next 20 years or so in Canada while the rest of the world is flooded on other new stuff, btw Mr. O'Leary, ppl that plays games and watch movies for sure will do the switch to wireless since it's an "oh sooo" reliable technology....if u know what I mean.....
such a load of shit. maybe if the crtc thing would only effect only the 30k people today. but that easily changes tomorrow or next week. they change the cap to 50 gig's, or 10 gig's. whatever, it's just another scheme to suck more money out of people and it's fucking bs. their cost to provide bandwidth to customers is pennies each and the actual cost is static. if their cost is static then why the hell do they get to charge people more.
TekSavvy rules! It's refreshing to see a company fighting for the consumers. Now that UBB is overturned they have reinstated the unlimited package AND upped the 200 gig cap to 300 gigs! It's brilliant and I will be switching to them from Rogers shortly.
Did any one else notice he said about 10% of OUR customers go over their plan.
Well no shit, any one that downloads over 60gb has to know a thing or two about computers and the internet and undoubtedly researched what plan would be best for them.
Although Roger's doesn't really offer any good plans for anyone when compared with other ISP's but people aren't big fans of thinking for themselves these days.
I am currently scouring Bells internet page and cannot find any actual internet pricing plans at this moment? does anybody have a current link? Or are they scared at this moment to actually post bandwidth / prices?
I'd advice everyone not to sign up with Bell on anything. These scammers will suck money out of you quick. That's just wrong, Bell - you are killing Internet in Canada.
Scenario: Bell charges the fire and police departments too much. Protesters molotov cocktail Bell Canada's corporate buildings. The fire and police departments "don't get the call".
O'Leary is such a douchebag and would kill you to make another dollar. Mirko Bibic is a liar and corporate tool. Two providers? That's competition? And what foreign investors? The CRTC won't allow foreign investors. We're screwed right now. Bandwidth is not limited, it's UNlimited.
30k people are heavy internet users? ya right!! That probably sums up the internet usage at one or two large university in Canada. Try maybe a 1/2 - 1 million.
I think the whole world should see video, I mean we are just at the start of a whole new digital frontier...think about netflix, one movie is 2 gb, or youtube a 720p 10min video is about 250-350 mb, the growing market for these platforms will increase data usage...as the world goes more digital, so will the need for more bandwidth usage, defeat net neutrality sign the petition to end "usage based billing" or just sign up with TECHSAVVY
I have been using TekSavvy for 8 months and it is really good, GREAT speed, even - in my opinion - better than Rogers and Bell. Our family also has 4 ppl at the age of 21-24and we use a LOT, of internet and we have never been over. I have never had a problem with them. I pay 30 bucks for 200GB while bell chargers like ~bucks for like 25gb.
Secondly yea we also need to protest, in general, to allow more telecom companies and more competiton in Canada. especally for cell phones
It's funny o Leary is going to die thinking his legacy is going to be "that rich guy off of tv.". The truth is he is going to die being known as that wannabe billionaire greedy scumbag from tv. The other funny aspect is that his net worth is still chump change as compared to the other billionaires of this world. I'd rather be penniless then be like him.
Charging per byte of internet usage is like charging per phone call on your home phone. It's not right.
ISPs aren't producing a product. They're not producing a tangible item. Why should we have to pay for "using" more? It's not costing the ISP any more for someone using 300 gb a month than it is for someone using 30 gb a month. Usage based billing is bullshit.
The only way for this video to be better would have been if o'leary would have opened his big mouth even more so Mr.Burger could have driven even more points across.
You can also see him calling out terrence corcoran on the topic at the financial post in the comments section.
To find the article, Google: Terence Corcoran: Billing reversal would be bad policy...
If the conservatives JUST prevent UBB before election time, and do not 1. Disband the CRTC 2. Use this moment to create laws that protect consumers in the future. Then they do not deserve anyone’s vote.
i had a account with bell first but then i moved to teksavvy few months back and to be honest i'm more then happy.. my 5mbps/unlimited plan is way better then bell's plan with usage cap. and i believe teksavvy buys chunk of bandwidth from bell, so now it's not bell's business how teksavvy gave it to customer, i mean with puttin cap or giving it in unlimited offer.. in end teksavvy pays bell for what ever their customer use.. am i wrong in here .. plz clear my common sense here plz..
Maybe Bell should have used some of its profits to build out a more robust network. Streaming isn't going away, so Bell should adapt to the market conditions. Only in Canada would someone have the moronic idea to create artificial caps and stopping blocks. Here's the question: how did that old tariff system work out? Exactly.
Bell has got my mother completely brainwashed, she's paying $20-50 a month extra for usage. I showed her Teksavvy but she refuses to leave Bell because they told her she is a valued customer.

"Those who use the most bandwidth", which is anyone who uses netflix or voip. You will easily exceed the 60gb cap placed on base broadband services.
"Actually 10% or less actually trigger their data caps", which was based on the average user usage in 2000.
I work for a major cable ISP and I can tell you that we're all lying to our customers and it's all about taking your money, and crushing competition.

@Tapewormz Anybody with half a brain would know this.
I remember when Bell came out with the 5gb limit 8 or 9 some odd years ago...don't remember exactly. They were saying the exact same thing they are crying about today ..."this wont effect 99% of the people." Bullshit! At that time more people had 2 - 3+ pcs in their homes ...online multiplayer gaming on the PC was huge...5 gb my ass. I made a decision then to leave these bloodsuckers and I have not looked back. No land line for me either.

And for the record as a tech that has switched over 5000 people + to other ISPs from bell I can tell you their not fighting in competitive ways for users because of healthy compition... most people didn't know they had a choice... Bell provides unstable crappy internet with tech support staff 90% of us can't understand.... they take our job and our moneys and send them over seas....while claiming they are a "Canadian company"....
Now that people know they have a choice Bell is crying foul.

@Bizziboy Sadly the only foul that is going on is us not stopping Bell from doing this capping crap in the first place.... that's Canadians fault.... but rest assured we are now taking steps to correct this.
Again, if not for Bell and rogers duopoly they would have both become extinct long long ago... noone likes Bell or rogers... most just didn't know there were alternatives.
What I find most disturbing is how noone mentions the small business owners and internet business who will go bust

Now they are trying to kill their competitors with UBB forcing us at gun point to have the same services as bell and rogers.

The investor guy is totally in the wrong. Bell and Rogers have monopolies supported by the government. Sure it is a nice place to be as an investor. But the government should not be supporting massive private profits by legislation. We need fair competition. Let the small ISP's buy bulk rate bandwidth and let them price it to their customer however. Bell should have no input and a totally hands off policy on the bandwidth sold in bulk.

such a load of shit. maybe if the crtc thing would only effect only the 30k people today. but that easily changes tomorrow or next week. they change the cap to 50 gig's, or 10 gig's. whatever, it's just another scheme to suck more money out of people and it's fucking bs. their cost to provide bandwidth to customers is pennies each and the actual cost is static. if their cost is static then why the hell do they get to charge people more.

So if they can charge $5 for 40 gb (12.5 cents/ gb)
WHY THE FUK are they charging $1-4 per gb overage!
Hey if I use more I will pay more but if you want to steal from me I have a problem.
It also convenient that the caps are SOOOOOO low.
60gb cap for low users, 120 for midteir and 200 or so for high tier and 5-10 cents overage.
But no they have like 2gb low tier 60 midteir, and wut 100 high tier and 1-4 dollars overage! ridiculous!
AsuranZala123 1 year ago 2
Did any one else notice he said about 10% of OUR customers go over their plan.
Well no shit, any one that downloads over 60gb has to know a thing or two about computers and the internet and undoubtedly researched what plan would be best for them.
Although Roger's doesn't really offer any good plans for anyone when compared with other ISP's but people aren't big fans of thinking for themselves these days.

I pay 30 bucks for 200GB while bell chargers like ~bucks for like 25gb.

Charging per byte of internet usage is like charging per phone call on your home phone. It's not right.
ISPs aren't producing a product. They're not producing a tangible item. Why should we have to pay for "using" more? It's not costing the ISP any more for someone using 300 gb a month than it is for someone using 30 gb a month. Usage based billing is bullshit.
