Default Die Telemarketers! Do Not Call List now available

Took them long enough! It doesn't help me anymore. I cut my telus line and now i'm using a cell as my home phone. It was ridiculous near the end. At least 5-6 calls a nite and 90% of incoming calls were from telemarketers.

The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, which operates the list, says the system is working fine, but that by 11 a.m. EDT it couldn't handle the volume.
A CRTC spokeswoman says 200,000 people had registered by 9 a.m. Her advice is to keep trying, but adds that even if you don't get in immediately, you can register at a later date.
Once a number is on the list, telemarketers will be barred from dialing that number, or face a hefty fine of up to $15,000 if they do call. There are some exceptions, such as pollsters, researchers and government agencies.
