The feds also do similar comparative work with banks that I've found invaluable, such as credit card foreign exchange fees (Desjardins is best).

It does not cover most of the Maritimes and what it does attempt to cover says nothing about sneaky fees like 911, call display, etc. For Halifax nothing is said about "carrier fees" on Bell and Rogers. If anyone knows of a decent plan calculator, please let us know. Once again the CRTC has failed to work for the Canadian public. They should simply disappear.

But this gives them the opportunity to possibly build a bigger customer base. I don’t see how customers finding lower cost plans is a bad thing, well unless you are one of the cell companies.
