It's not a matter of regulations, it's a matter of markets. Some companies such as Bell treat their customers like crap and just want to lock them into a long term contract. So what? There are lots of competitors who will not be doing UBB such as Telus / Shaw / Rogers. Customers on Bell just became the world's biggest internet losers. If people don't like UBB they can always switch carriers unless they were dumb enough to take Bell's crappy long term contract.

You're ignorant. Everyone has to apply the UBB and no one has contracts, even Bell.

Actually I'm not. http://www.channelcanada.com/Article5436.html Some ISPs are not using UBB, nor have plans to implement it.

oh and here's an article talking about people being on 1 2 or 3 year contracts for bell internet. How could they be on contracts if no one has them?
