Default CRTC orders rebate for Bell, Telus home phone customers

Old news apparently; but I didn't hear about it until last week.

The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) today directed the large telephone companies to rebate $310.8 million to their urban home telephone customers.

Then yesterday I got something in the mail from Telus giving a few options for my $31 rebate:

- Trade my rebate for a $100 credit towards Telus hardware.
- Donate my rebate to charity
- Wait until February for my cheque.

My next question; did the rest of you guys get a notice; and how much was your rebate? I'm wondering if mine is lower (range is supposed to be between $25 and $90) because I went to Shaw for a period of time.

By the looks of it I get nothing, all because I switched to Shaw ~8 months ago. After years and years of paying Telus.......just seems kinda rotten.

Yeah anyone who moved away from TELUS wont get any money, as it would cost too much and the logistics of tracking down people to hand out amounts around 15-50 dollars wouldn't be worth it

This was a CRTC mandated collection of moneys, this wasn't initiated by Bell or Telus

Interesting. I too am eligible for a rebate of $31.25, but the option of waiting for a cheque to be issued was never given to me.

Really? You have to read the whole letter, the other two options have nice graphics and boxes and stuff, and its only really mentioned in one sentence near the bottom that you can just wait and get the cheque - I had to double check myself.

I also got the $31.25 option - it's going to the Children's Hospital.
