so am i and i don't

<@285060441879871488> lol gay

condolences

it's great

i bet

vote tory next time

we only got fibre when we switched

lol

My isp has plans for giga fast speed

1 provider per province sounds gay

Do it Gary

there's a bunch, but BT are the only ones offering fibre so it's p much 1

all of my province should get 100 mbps by 2022 i think

campaign for it

if the local MPs know it's gonna get them elected they make it a priority

people wanting to keep their jobs make stuff happen

above that no say, but at least locally it does stuff

i will harass Scot Moe on twitter

The way my friend explained is that there is only 2 major isps in Canada and they legally have to switch who controls the most every few years

yeah, to balance out the monopolization laws

...what

you legally have to switch

why

Monopoly’s are illegal

there are anti monopolization laws in place, which means that the majority of internet service cannot be provided by a sole provider for elongated periods of time right?

They can’t control the majority of the market

so they switch off to avoid legal ramification

^

whaaaaat

that i did not know about

But they keep the same infrastructure so the 2 corps just work together

It sounds illegal but it works out

cuz loopholes

then it's a monopoly

lol

On the papers it’s not

no technically its an oligopoly

That’s how it works

yay boring conversation on canadian business laws

The chat is dead today
