I'm with Rogers. Just want to clarify that the Government Regulatory Recovery Fee is not a new cost - it's just new way of breaking out some of the fees, costs and other amounts related to government mandates, programs and requirements. The price customers pay on our new plans is about the same as what they paid on previous plans. Hey Joe. I’m with Rogers.

Boggles the mind... I have NEVER understood, why they try sooo hard to NEW customers, when it is MUCH easier to keep the ones they have(and are losing fast). Boggles the mind…

Free call forwarding works better for some people, but I think everyone would be better off with free caller ID (but as someone pointed out, it's a really good revenue driver). Rather than just give an industry wide discount, I think Bell would be better off reducing plans after a given period of time, for example: after 1 year of service, 5% off bill, after 2 years 7% off, after 3 years 10% and so on to a maximum cap. It boggle my mind. Keeping customers is so much less expensive than winning new ones. The pricing is marginally better (It’s 2.70 off, but $2.70 over 3 years is close to $100).

Worried about increased competition and negative marketing campaigns from the new entrants they eliminate the hated 'made up' fees......and then raise their plans by the same amount. Bravo. When is WIND starting up? You have to grudgingly admire the cartel.

Theres no actual benefit or bonus to (informed) customers. At very best, they're being a VERY TINY BIT less deceiving. Return to your homes, nothing to see here. Just a marketing tactic, my friends.

Anyways, it's not like forwarding the call actually costs them anything! I wish they threw in something useful for the extra $5!
