Just stay away, their business practises are deadly.

Just out of curiosity, what are these deadly business practices? I wanna know (:

Fido is pretty good, no issues. Not sure about going to the iPhone on it, seems a little sketchy to me, and I'm waiting for the new iPhones to roll out this summer

I was thinking about Telus, but I'm meh about them. No bell, and no rogers for me. I've heard really mixed things about Wind, but only because they're a brand new company. Coverage is shotty, they still have some issues with phone selection and their Blackberry stuff, and it's just not at all on the same level as the other companies.

Bell is king/queen of hidden fees
They have the worst contract disconnection fees
(internet) The throttle everything (meaning you don't get anywhere near the advertised speeds unless you're downloading something directly from Microsoft)
(satellite) They have low quality service (many bugs in the system)
(phone) Mostly just their disconnect and hidden fees, but their regular calls advertising services you already know you don't want are annoying too.

And that's just the service stuff.
They're a monopoly, they own the majority of everything we deal with even if it's through other companies. Customer service is not a nice thing either, I much prefer letting other companies deal with them.
They're employment system is not the best either (they've screwed a vast number of people out of retirement funds many times, I know pretty normal, but still something to throw in.)

Contract disconnection fees, hidden fees (aside from annoying advertising haha)
-Would they still be an issue if I got prepaid?
There would be no contract.. I think? haha. Like, I wouldn't consider it a contract.
And hidden fees.. how? Where?

Thanks (:
