Subject: Telus rate increase
I just received notice that Telus is attempting to raise montly rates by
$3 a month up to a max of $35. I find this utterly appalling. I'm sure
they can come up with a good reason , like service improvements, like
when landlords make lease improvements as an excuse to jack up the
rent. The truth is that Telus is a public company and has to increase
its revenues quarterly...they can do this in other ways as they have
with new markets like cell phones, etc. They have also lost market
share with competition from long distance carriers and are trying to
recoup their losses. Please don't give in to corporate demands - make a
stand against the continued and expected increases that we all receive
for everything from phones to cable tv to utilities. It's really
getting tiresome!
Thanks for listening,
Will
