    Ugh tell me about it. My phone bill went up $5/month at the start of the year for no reason. I’m on the same BYOD plan. I talked to my carrier and they were like “rest assured the funds are going towards upgrading our systems and providing better service.” Yeah okay. I don’t get service in half of my city because there aren’t enough towers to handle the population but sure. Charge me more to not be able to make phone calls. Makes sense.

      Telecom should get cheaper over time, not more expensive. Their capex is mostly spent, so unless they’re upgrading to 6G there’s not really much money to spend

      Funny story, I didn’t have a credit card until this month. What pushed me over the line? Fido increased my bill and I need a credit card to sign up to Freedom Mobile. I’ll pay like 10$ less and get twice the data. Fuck the telcoms
