I'm assuming it's the same for the rest of Canada.
If I want cable I have one choice. If I want 'similar' services, I have choice... at the same price...
It's not like everyone doesn't know this is happening.. But, it must be "approved" behaviour... Who approved it? Under what guise?
I mean, isn't this 'classic' price fixing?
I read the article about Morden Manitoba (The top post in /r/canada right now) and the person in charge said the cost per house was a one time $400/house charge and blam.... internet for life...
Which means... For easy math we'll say your internet is $50/month (yeah, I know... mine either) In one year you have paid your existing provider enough money to 'bring infrastructure to your house' one and one tenth times!!! Whaa?
So that means that after one year your provider is making 100% profit off of you at a rate that is 'padded' by the lack of competition..
At what point does this become illegal? I'm the first one to bitch about SJ Tribunals in Ontario, but they don't have to follow the rule of law... exactly. Could we make rogers, bell, cogeco, shaw, telus etc "explain themselves"?
I'm going to count the 'Morden' story as our daily reminder of how Canadians are getting screwed by their local monopolies.
Hello /r/warcraftlore!
I'm currently trying to find locations for a possible bronze/infinite dragonflight expansion pack or Caverns of Time instance. My goal is to make a list of zones that had heavy geographical changes. What we found so far:
- Outland used to be Draenor before Ner'zhul caused the portal storms
- Uldum used to be a jungle before the Tol'vir launched the Forge of Origination
- Ghostlands was a part of Eversong Woods before the invasion of Quel'thalas
- Duskwood was a part of Elwynn Forest and called Brightwood before Medivh's death
- Western and Eastern Plaguelands was forested and full of farmlands before the Scourge of Lordaeron
- Felwood was a normal forest before Tichondrius corrupted it using the Skull of Gul'Dan
- Desolace used to be some nice grassy plains before Princess Theradras awoke and consumed all the life there
- Blasted Lands used to be part of the Swamp of Sorrows and was called the Black Morass but it has changed since the Dark Portal was opened
- Deadwind Pass might've been a nice place before Ulthalesh drained all the life from it.
- Dread Wastes might've looked similar to Townlong Steppes before the sha corrupted it
- Crystalsong Forest used to be a fairly normal forest before some Highborne accidentally crystallized the entire region
- Icecrown was just a simple glacier before the Lich King built a huge citadel and heavily fortified the region
- Azshara was heavily terraformed by goblins for the land to resemble the symbol of the Horde during the Cataclysm
- Maelstrom was once the Well of Eternity before the Sundering
- Barrens used to be a lush forest in the ancient times
- Burning Steppes and Searing Gorge were parts of the Redridge Mountains before Sorcerer-Thane Thaurissan summoned Ragnaros during the War of the Three Hammers which resulted with the creation of the Blackrock Mountain that devastated the entire region

What else is there?
I've been getting worse than usual coverage lately and I've been looking for the option to connect to a Roaming network in case I really need it. However, manually selecting Rogers simply doesn't work. It won't connect.
I read somewhere that Freedom prevents this when physically in a Home zone. Is there anyway around this?
So I've read a lot of you guys' comments, asking which zone people live in, in regards to the weather. I've been trying to google it, but I seem to find a lot of different definitions of these "zones". Does anyone have a link or an explanation for the zones used here on this subreddit?
