Our Mission:

Freedom from high fiber costs

Canada's big telecom incumbent providers have been gouging independent Internet Service Providers for far too long and Canadians are paying the price with the highest costs for Internet in the developed world.

Fight for fiber freedom!

Canadians have been paying some of the the highest Internet prices in the world which are only going to get higher with big telecom deploying fiber to to the home but charging exorbitant prices for independent access.
Although valiant efforts have already been made with numerous petitions to government, prices keep increasing while large incumbent telecom providers keep getting larger and richer. Let's defeat high Internet prices in Canada with a super hero battle to fight back against big telecom!

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING

“Competitors that provide retail Internet services to Canadians using wholesale high-speed services must have access to these services at just and reasonable prices. The fact that these large companies did not respect accepted costing principles and methodologies is very disturbing.”

Jean-Pierre Blais, CRTC chair 2012-2017
