If it's no longer needed, then how would it affect anyone to remove it? Hmm. Pretty suspicious

  • If it was no longer needed... it shouldn't matter if it's removed.
    To want it removed means it is needed.

    Roaming should not be a thing while you are in Canada, does not matter who your provider is they all share infastructure somewhere in the series of tubes. Internationally I can understand why roaming is a thing but still the cap should be lower.

    It's no longer needed, because having it forced companies to fuck off with their bullshit. As soon as it goes away, things will get worse again. -_-
    I hope it stays or even gets further restricted. Like properly fucking the providers still trying to charge setup / cancellation / etc fees that are now deemed illegal in Canada.

    Telus has been losing money for sometime now, they just got a new CEO which has been looking at ways to bring the company back into profit.

    Looks like the new CEO sees profits are being lost to this cap.

    I'm currently aboard in Vietnam with an esim that is working well enough. A medical emergency happened with our dog who is staying with a sitter. So it's been a number of sleepless nights trying to get updates from the vet and on top of that we moved to an area with poor reception and had to juggle between my regular service provider (don't have a travel plan setup with them so $10 per mb) and the esim. The good news is that my dog is recovering fine. The vet hosed us, but it's nice that there is regulations to prevent the cell service provider hosing me as well.

    Tangential: please consider pet insurance if you don't have it already. The last thing you want to worry about is the cost of care, and vets are as mercenary as USA healthcare.

    (We have a dog and two inside-cats, and they're all fully insured; and with my sister managing a vet hospital in another region, and the (anonymized) stories she tells, we wouldn't have it any other way. )
