Why It's Time to Break Up with Bell: Choose an Independent ISP Like CanNet

In a time when affordability matters more than ever, it’s becoming increasingly clear that some of Canada’s biggest telecom companies are working against everyday Canadians.

Bell is actively fighting the CRTC's plan to lower home internet costs for Canadians, and that’s not just frustrating, it’s telling.

According to recent coverage by BlogTO, MobileSyrup, and even Reddit discussions, Bell has taken a firm stance against regulatory efforts by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to make high-speed internet more affordable for all Canadians.

Let’s explain why this matters and why it might be the right time to ditch Bell and go with an independent internet provider like CanNet Telecom.

 Big Telecom vs. Affordable Internet

In early May 2025, the CRTC announced plans to force large incumbents like Bell to lower the wholesale rates they charge to smaller internet providers who lease their infrastructure. This is meant to boost competition and lower prices for consumers.

But instead of supporting this move, Bell is fighting it claiming it would hurt their profits and discourage investment. What does this really mean?

·                   Bell wants to keep prices high.

·                   Bell wants to limit competition from smaller, independent providers.

·                   Bell would rather protect shareholders than help struggling families and small businesses afford reliable internet.

Why Switch to an Independent ISP Like CanNet?

At CanNet Telecom, we believe every Canadian deserves fast, reliable and affordable internet and not just those who can afford top-tier packages from the “Big Three.” Unlike Bell, we welcome CRTC’s initiative to bring down costs and level the playing field. Here’s why choosing CanNet just makes sense:

1. Lower Prices, More Value

We don’t believe in inflated rates or hidden fees. Our plans are designed with real people in mind, not shareholders.

2. Real Customer Support

Tired of waiting hours on the phone with indifferent support agents? CanNet offers responsive, Canada-based customer service that listens and helps, without the runaround.

3. Fast & Reliable Internet

We deliver high-speed internet through established networks, just like Bell, only without the bloated pricing and restrictive contracts.

4. Support Competition and Fairness

Every customer that moves to an independent provider like CanNet is casting a vote for competition, fairness, and affordability in Canada’s telecom landscape.

What Bell’s Actions Say about Their Priorities

By opposing lower wholesale internet rates, Bell is making it clear that:

·                   They’re not interested in helping Canadians save.

·                   They prefer protecting their monopoly over fostering innovation.

·                   They fear the growing popularity of independent ISPs who offer better service at better prices.

That’s why it’s up to consumers to send a message and not just to Bell, but to all big telecom companies who take advantage of limited competition. Your wallet, your experience, and your internet choices deserve better.
