Rogers Outage Canada

Mon Jul 11 19:44:52 UTC 2022

FYI --- this is now making email rounds and is available to view and sign
on CHANGE.ORG

On Friday, Rogers experienced its second nationwide outage in as many
years. Hundreds of thousands of Canadians were unable to access internet
and cell services for hours, despite paying some of the highest fees in the
world. Petition starter Celina is calling on the CRTC to protect Canadians
from exorbitant cell and internet fees and more than 275,000 frustrated
Canadians have joined her. You can show your support by signing the
petition now.

CANADIANS ARE BEING SCAMMED!

Here in Canada we pay extremely high prices for our cell phones and cable
in comparison to countries like Australia, United Kingdom and United States
of America.

As of August 2019, a plan with 30GB data from Australia’s Vodafone network
is $45. In Canada, major providers like Rogers and Telus charge $95 for
20GB at max speed.

This is unethical and not okay. It’s time we stand up for our hard-earned
dollars and demand limitations be put in place to stop the wallet gouging
of hard-working Canadians. We must force our telecommunications companies
to provide Canadians better service for the astronomically high price
they’re forced to pay for what is a necessity to function in our high-tech
society in 2019.

Please act now and sign your name below to show the CRTC (Canadian
Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission) that we’ve had ENOUGH
and demand a change to our current telecommunications laws and regulations
to implement a limit on price and an immediate increase in service provided
for both existing and new customers.

Once you’ve signed please take the time to share with your friends and
family as this affects us all and together we can make a big difference and
be heard!

Thank you!

Celina London - concerned and annoyed Canadian.
