That's because in December, the CRTC ruled that high speed internet is a basic telecom service that all Canadians are entitled to. Vancouver-based internet advocacy group Open Media contends that if internet service is to be accessible to everyone, prices must be kept in check.

Rogers and Telus also offer $9.99 a month internet plans for low-income customers, but they are limited to people either living in social housing or receiving income assistance.
