Canadian regulators have allowed the Big 3 internet providers in Canada to freeze out the competition, giving them an unfair advantage over smaller and regional companies. Don’t fall for the illusion of choice.
Allowing the Big 3 to resell internet among their own networks and across others allows them to crush smaller players and eliminate the competition by taking advantage of pricing structures that were not designed for them.
More competition today supports more affordable services tomorrow. Reducing smaller providers’ ability to compete in the marketplace leads to fewer options over time for consumers – driving up prices.
Today, Canadian regulators are discouraging the Big 3 internet providers from expanding or improving their networks, hurting connectivity across Canada - including for rural, Northern and Indigenous communities.
