The unfortunate thing is the legalese is in the small fine print, not what is said in the forums. When on a prepaid service, the contract is every renewal. So at the next renewal, there are no guarantees that the same terms will be available. This is Telus exercising the right to apply the terms of service to effect a price increase. They are offering an out that for the moment does not cost any more. Just to slow the flood gates a little, they should have allowed a time window of up to 90 days depending on when a customer renews their plan. I am just guessing here, but I think we should be able to argue a case that allows us at least that amount of time to make a decision of whether to stay or leave.
There are few unanswered questions I would like to know before I make up my mind definitively. Is the move to Koodo to the post-paid or prepaid plans? If it is prepaid, we could see the price go to $50 the following month. I wouldn't mind seeing a post-paid option with say a one or two year term so that I have some cost certainty to work with. I am sure with time, much of the details will be flushed out.
