  • Increase Prices due to CRTC Wholesale Rates
  • If you’ve been following the wholesale internet access rate story in the news, you have probably heard that on Thursday, May 27, 2021, the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (or CRTC) opted to reverse its own 2019 regulatory decision to implement lower internet access rates in Canada.
  • Changes currently affect for Existing customers & New customers , TECHMINDS expects the majority of its existing customers will likely see their rates go up between $5 and $10 per month in the near future, following a 30-day notice period.
  • A win for telco giants, a loss for the average Canadian
  • This ruling is the largest regulatory win for the corporate telco giants in recent history. As a direct result of this outcome, these companies will see their already billions in profits continue to increase, while internet prices for the average consumer continue to rise. Canadians already pay some of the highest prices for internet services in the world, and this ruling will only exacerbate the situation. Despite promises from politicians, it seems our system of checks-and-balances continues to disregard the best interests of Canadian consumers.
  • This decision, if carried out, will ultimately mean Canadians can expect to see their internet bills go up.
  • Why did the CRTC reverse its own decision?
  • The CRTC’s purpose as it pertains to the internet services industry is to o “facilitate greater competition between Internet service providers and to promote innovative broadband services and affordable prices.” From our perspective, this ruling is an abject failure by the CRTC to fulfill its mandate.
  • The original 2019 decision to lower rates was backed by substantial data and years of objective investigative work. It established rates that were designed to benefit Canadian consumers by encouraging competition and promoting innovation within the telecommunications industry. The 2019 ruling was widely celebrated by consumer advocacy groups as a huge step in the right direction towards making internet services more affordable in Canada. So, why flip-flop?
  • How we’re fighting it
  • TECHMINDS is currently working alongside other independent internet operators to launch a formal appeal to the Government of Canada, demanding that they step-in and fulfill their promise to support regulatory actions that support fairer internet prices in Canada.

  • What if something goes wrong
    You have 90 days from the date of the withdrawal to report an incorrect or unauthorized pre-authorized debit to your financial institution.
  • If you don’t have enough funds in your account to cover a withdrawal, TECHMINDS can try the same debit one more time. TECHMINDS will do this within 30 days from the date of the withdrawal and it will be for the exact same amount.
  • How to cancel a pre-authorized debit agreement
    Within the PAD agreement, we will specify instructions for cancellation.
  • TECHMINDS has the right to cancel the agreement within 30 days of the notice. Once cancelled, check your account to confirm that the withdrawals are stopped. If there is any continuous billing, please contact us or failure to receive any response, you may contact your financial institution for reimbursement within 90 days.
  • Cancelling your pre-authorized debit agreement doesn’t cancel your contract for goods or services with the TECHMINDS or any amount owed. The cancellation applies to the payment method only. You’ll need to make arrangements with the Billing to pay any amounts owing.
