It would just confuse people. Why even bother displaying the other two plans when the 6gb one is cheaper AND gives more data? It would just confuse people.

All three big carriers or their sub-brands offer the exact same rip-off plan, down to the fine-print. Then we have Chatr not launching in Montreal because, guess what, there's only a single new entrant to the market here, so they make sure to let people boil just a little longer until sometime in fall the bigger new entrant Videotron will launch. And I am betting $100 that Rogers will launch Chatr on the exact same day as Videotron launches their network and not one minute earlier. This is all just a big farce.

The closest plan that comes with the most value is the Virgin student deal. If they offered voicemail and call display as well, it would be a deal. It's odd because the $50 smartphone combo offers voicemail call display, but the 50$ student deal doesn't.

Shocking! Competition sure is strong, right CRTC?" Damn right. I wish more people would realize this. What the hell is the point of having all these carriers if they all offer the same price?? Total BS in my opinion. They should just be merged into one company then.....
