Cell service and broadband platforms
Here's what the 2019 Canadian election parties are promising.We don't have any Conservative policies on Cell service and broadband.
NDP
Price caps on cell and internet bills, require companies to offer affordable, unlimited data plans for cellphones, require companies to provide basic plans for internet and sell service that meet needs of Canadians, and introduce a Telecom Consumers' Bill of Rights.
No more huge bills. Every Canadian will save $10 on every cell or internet bill on average, thanks to price caps that make sure Canadians are paying a fair price no matter where they live.
No more data caps. Ending caps for internet plan and requiring companies to offer affordable, unlimited data plans for cellphones – so that there are no surprises at the end of the month.
Selling the airwaves should benefit us. The government makes billions selling the right to provide cell and internet service – and people, not corporations, should benefit from that money.
Basic plans for better access. Every company will be required to have a basic plan for internet and cell service that meets the needs of Canadians.
Protecting Canadians. A Telecom Consumers’ Bill of Rights will put an end to the outrageous sales and services practices of big cell and internet companies and protect people from being gouged.
