RMR: Heritage Moment: Telecommunications

[Thomaslver]

its harrold from the red green show!!!!!

[peanut1billion]

Johnson!!

[SGBA1]

As my media studies professor would rant about, "Economies of scale!!!!" <_<

[DannyandPatty]

You're gonna put us in the poorhouse!

[HWGuyEG]

The new CRTS tarifs are going to kick in soon, the cost of bandwidth will go up 1200%, this will make Canada the most expensive country on Earth for internet, harming everyone and businesses just for some over paid pigs to make more money.

[MissGreenAgain]

Jesus, how many of these "Johnston" Heritage Minutes are there? LOL

[rebelyell1983x]

Switching to TekSavvy Cable Internet from Rogers was a better feeling than sex....

[Glassram]

"Extravagantly" has become my favourite word.

[DWSimmy]

Telecom is so much better in the states, where there's a wide range of companies to choose from. It's a great example of the free market working properly; Because of all their competitors, service providers keep their rates low.

[icarus313]

JOHNSON!!!!!

[notme2468]

JOHNSON!

[IrishEyes1989]

* Internet service, pardon me (correction from my last comment).

[IrishEyes1989]

Poor Johnson lol.

It's true though, we get shafted at every opportunity when it comes to phone service in Canada. I'm with Telus, and though they've been my family's provider for over a decade now, I still feel that we pay more than we should most of the time.

[Renegen1]

This video is awesome! Hopefully this insanity ends soon, especially since some countries are investing in lines that are 100 times faster for the same price.

[BigTimage]

This comment costed me twenty bucks. I'm gonna need that debt Snuggie now.

[Dibrini]

That is a well made fan, it's lasted for over 100 years!

[derekp]

This video was 32 cents well spent! :)

[pyrea17]

lol Harold Green was being a dick to Rick Mercier!

[MikeIsCanadian]

Stop the UBB

[somecanuckchick]

So true, so sad. Really.

[somecanuckchick]

True and sad.

[techfan42]

Funny

Johnson always trying to improving business relations but his boss is so cheap

[plizak]

Proud to say I have Telus for my home internet, and pay a whopping $50/month for 100 mbps download and unlimited data.

Solution is simple, tell Rogers and Bell to #$%@ off and go with someone else that does not use their last mile connection.

[TheGM16]

@plizak Very, very difficult to avoid Bell or Rogers on the last mile in Ontario. That Telus plan your on few locations unfortunately....

[Kelmster]

@plizak Funny, as all Telus offers us here is a 3-6mbits wireless connection limited to 10GBs/month at $60, $10/GB past the limit. Bell does the same, and we have no other options. There's cable if you happen to be lucky ebough to live 15 minutes away from where I live. And no, we don't live in the middle of the woods, we're on the main road, and Telus refuses to offer us other services or to make limits higher, arguing that according to their studies, people don't use more than 5GBs/month...

[KnowledgeDriven]

brilliant! what a hilarious and true sketch!

[speedannayya]

Haha ... love this video.

Why can't we (Canadians) have unlimited bandwidth like the USA.

Give us at least 200GB per month ... not the cheap 50GB or 75GB deals.

The fight is not just to get the Usage Based Billing off the third party ISPs like Teksavy.

I want ROGERS & BELL to stop the damn Bandwidth limits. if half million people and the government combined can't get rid of the UBB on Bell and Rogers .... then I have no hopes.

MAYBE 1000 people SHOULD FILE A CASE IN THE SUPREME COURT.

[ppartsx]

DONT USE MORSE CODE SO EXTRAVAGANTLYYYY.

I think that part is the best. So reflects how we are being called heavy users and bandwidth hogs because we use the internet to a fuller potential its capable of, ahead of what the typical 'average' computer illiterate consumer is doing.

[badassgtapolice]

LOL! Looks like the Johnson Family should consid- THE CRTC WOULD LIKE TO ANNOUNCED THAT WE ARE CHARGING HARD WORKING CANADIANS TO USE THE INTERNET, PLEASE SEND BILL OF $40 FOR EVERY DAY USE. THANK YOU.

[ThinkingManNeil]

I think Pat McKenna was have just a wee little bit too much fun there at the end!

[ohvickyy]

Lol @ the ending!

[blazingpenguin]

I miss these commercials :(

We can't forget about the crap where the crtc is going to allow misleading news either

[moatartareque]

Ah! That was fu-

INSERT $2

[Arpeggiato]

I laughed so hard.

[BigTimage]

This comment costs twenty bucks.

[QCprepper]

btw those first 2 inventions, the phone and the radio, were actually pioneered by canadians.

[Ivonz]

so sad and so true!

[nitrogif]

LOL

[EffortlessCool2]

It's Harold Green!!

[ScytheNoire]

So true. Getting gouged by Bell is part of Canada's heritage. Perhaps it's time for change? Perhaps a CRTC who works for the people, not for Bell, Rogers & other telecom companies. One can only dream of a day Canada might have competition in the marketplace & the right to choose a provider who offers the best service for a fair price. One can dream.

[christina7163]

@ScytheNoire And as soon as that happens, the Maple Leafs will win the Stanley cup :P

[blupheonix44]

ROFLMAO!!!

[kurona]

Man, I shouldn't be watching this video....I'll go broke.

[murphj4]

Patrick Mckenna is a great guy. It's good to see him back on the set.

[canadafreakazoid]

@murphj4 wow, didn't even realize it's him.

[dsmtsi]

Great vid, UBB has to go!

[asianbomb47]
