I wish to speak against this proposal - particularly in regard to the Service Improvement Plan being paid for by a subsidy from myself and other customers.
The cost of having telephone service has been increased a number of times in recent years. As a pensoner I am finding these constant increases very difficult to cope with. The fact that we are (in B.C.) in a recession makes the timing of this proposal ridiculous to my mind.
Telus is a business and should NOT be relying on customers to subsidise their activities .
Whilst I do'nt pretend to be familiar with details of this proposal I do hope at the very least if not rejected that it would be deferred until our economy is back to a more positive level.
Thank you,
Terry Wells
