The giant telecommunication firm's viz Rogers, Bell & i think so even Telus are ripping their clients since a long time by charging every month A System Access Fees of $ 6.95 (Rogers) and similiar by other two cell companies. The Govt. had allowed them for a short period of time, but they have continued charging their customers ever since, and unfortunately there is no Check & Balance Authority over here in Ontario to look into such matters, but the conusmer's are the main victims of such payments which they have to compulsorily pay every month included in their bills, which is totally illegal, as the same is not apporved as Tariff by the Provincial or even Federal Government. Roger's off-shoot company named Fido & other two cell companies like Kudoo & Virgin do not charge any such illegal monthy fees, therefore its a moral duty of giant companies like Rogers, Bell & Telus to also withdraw such dramas going on since a long time.
These day's thousands of their customer's are un-employed, and during the current recession time each and every cent should be accounted for from these multi-billion dollar Rip-off's. Its completely fair if they just charge initially while activating the cell phone, but not make a practice of charging such illegal fees every month. I was shocked to read their recent advertisement of Rogers, as regards their promotion of their Rocket USB Magic Stick, on that even they are now charging a system access fees hook or by crook, which is really very shameful and disgusting in a democratic country like Canada. Just compare the Server rates across the border where Cell Phones, their monthly plans are much much cheaper, or look at a third & under developed countries like India, Thailand, Sri-Lanka, Malaysia where cell phones are available abduntly cheaper in cost, plus their plans are nearly 1/4 cost what Rogrers, Bell & Telus are charging over here in Canada, their roaming charges are also exhobitant which makes Canada the most costliest country to maintain a cell phone for pure convenience and emergencies.
However, we should voice our concern for such financial irregularities, and our
Councillors, Provincial and Federal Members of Parliament shouild also raise their voices for such things happening over here in Canada, plus people should voice their concerns through Media, forums, and through press/TV for immediate withdrawal of such fees forcibly imposed on the shoulders of their customers.
I am writing this thread in total disgust! & hope some sense prevails on our
authorities too to look into such matters, and we are able to get this illegal payment of S.A. Fees withdrawn immediately.
