In the online survey of a representative national sample of 1,024 Canadian adults, three-in-four respondents (76%) disagree with the recent decision from the Canada Radio-television Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), which recently ruled that Internet service providers should adopt “usage-based billing”.
(...)
The level of “strong disagreement” with the proposed course of action is above the 50 per cent mark in every region of the country (from a high of 74% in Ontario to a low of 52% in Quebec), across both genders (69% for men, 59% for women), and all three main age groups (62% for respondents aged 18 to 34, 68% for those aged 25 to 54, and 59% for those over the age of 55).
How can 76% of the respondents disagree if no individual group has 76% or above disagreement rates?
Look at the chart. Strong disagreement % + Moderate disagreement % = 76
And it's a darned good thing as well... for once us Canadians are actually saying something.
I hate all our telecom giants/ISP's. All of them. I haven't met a single person who is happy with their cellphone/internet provider.
Agreed through and through. As if things internet/cellphone wise isn't bad enough here already, passing this proposal by the CRTC would screw it all up even more, if that is at all possible.
