Today the straw finally broke the camel's back!
After years of not switching from Bell for home phone, long distance and Internet because I didn't want to change my e-mail address, an add-on fee finally did it. Not only had Bell quietly upped my Long Distance plan from $7.95 to 9.95 but I learned that the $5.95 "Network Charge" on my phone bill was actually a additional long distance fee in disguise!
I have been looking at TekSavvy for a long time in RedFlagDeals and DSLReports so I made the call and switched.
Based on my math:
That's over $400 a year (closer to $500). I was considering Yak for long distance until TekSavvy told me their based rate per minute is cheaper.
*I'm not pushing TekSavvy because I cannot speak for the quality of their service yet BUT that is significantly cheaper!

Based on my math:
- Home phone - $11.20 per month cheaper (based on line, call display & non-published number)
- Long Distance - $10 per month cheaper (based on my 6-month average of 242 minutes @ $0.029/minute)
- Internet - $21.16 per month cheaper (but I do have to buy a modem for $60)
That's over $400 a year (closer to $500). I was considering Yak for long distance until TekSavvy told me their based rate per minute is cheaper.
